BXBX NOVEL Chapter 6: True form
"I know you have nowhere to go, I hope you find your way," Dalia said as she placed her head on Nessa\'s lap and her eyes wided wh she saw a sparkling blue butterfly flying over her and she smiled and Nessa frowned.
"I didn\'t know you, but I\'m sorry I couldn\'t help," Nessa said.
"Is there anything else I should know?" she questioned.
"First, you should know that you have powers; if you want to make a name for yourself, there are many options; if you have a dream, make it come true; now this will be the last time you and I are together, well not last but we won\'t stay together," the snake responded, and she looked perplexed.
"What exactly do you mean?" Nessa inquired as the snake transformed into a man with hair, a slim body, fair skin, and a staff in his hand and she left staring at him, her jaw dropped.
"W- Who are you?" She asked as she punched him in the air and he laughed as he landed back on his feet.
"How rude, of course, I am a magical being, I took the form of the horse, it\'s dead, so now you know," he replied and her brows furrowed.
"Why?" she asked.
"Huh? "What do you mean, why?" he inquired.
"Why did I save that kid\'s cat?" she yelled and he jumped th laughed and placed his hand on Dalia\'s body and Dalia\'s eyes wided as her wound started healing and she was back to normal.
"I- I am fine, thank you," Dalia said and she flung up and Nessa smiled
"Ah, yes, Nessa, you are not from this world, which means you are a perfect candidate," he replied as she stood up and prepared to leave, but a vine wrapped a her feet, tripping her, prevting the girl from moving.
"Let me go," she said as Dalia stood there staring in confusion.
"No way, you are my choice, I am going to talk to you, you have to learn why things are the way they are," he replied, and she looked at him.
"I have nowhere else to go, fine, I will list to you willingly, get your... uh... vines off of me please," she said as he removed them, and she sighed th pouted.
"I don\'t understand anything here," she said as he sat beside her and a red stone bracelet appeared on her right hand.
"Do you want to know more about this place? You can ev build your dreams from your previous world here only with ough power though, wh you decide on what you want call on me, my name is Kurson, also just take a good look a.
You will understand why it would be good to have a totally differt place where everyone can belong, call on me and I will be there, here," he said as he handed her a small pouch filled with gold coins, which she collected as a formation appeared beath her feet. He smiled as all of them vanished.
"Where am I?" she wondered, seeing herself in the middle of a village, her eyes widing as she saw blood stains on the g and damaged homes.
"This was my home," Dalia said, clching her fists.
"Are you sure that everyone is gone?" Nessa asked, not knowing what to say to the girl.
"I- I\'m not sure anymore," she said.
"Who did this? Was it a guy in black?" she asked and Dalia looked at the girl.
"What makes you think that?" Dalia inquired.
"Because I saw a couple being slaughtered in front of my eyes while trying to find people, and the guy was dressed in black and good with swords," she explained as Dalia\'s eyes wided.
"Did this happ before or after you met me?" she inquired.
"It was before I met you," she replied to which Dalia sighed.
"He was one of them," Dalia explained. "If only my brother was here, he would be able to give you more details, but Nessa, you should be careful."
"I will be, ah," she said as she began to feel dizzy and collapsed, but Dalia grabbed her and took her into one of the homes, where she placed the girl on the floor and sat beside her, worried.
More than an hour passed and Nessa woke up.
"You are awake, I wt to get you some food," Dalia said as she handed Nessa a bowl of fruits, and Nessa smiled.
"Thank you, Dalia," she said as she sat up and began eating the fruits because she was really hungry and had nothing proper to eat.
"You are welcome, how are you feeling Nessa?" Dalia asked.
"A little strange, my body is feeling a little weak as well," she replied, and the girl frowned.
"Perhaps you need to see a doctor, there was another ogre among us, she was good with clothing and food too, she could have helped, I didn\'t find her and a few other bodies, I don\'t know if they are alive, stay here, I will try to get you some help," Dalia said as she stood up and left th Nessa sighed.
\'I wish I could help too,\' she thought.
"Is there a reason why I was brought here, Kurson?" she inquired, and Kurson appeared before her, and she was about to scream, but he covered her mouth.
"Be quiet," he said as he let go of her, and she coughed.
"Your body is just adjusting to this world; you\'ll be fine after eating healthy food; also, I believe someone with great power summoned you; I\'m not sure who it was, but I\'m not that powerful," he said.
"Can humans and monsters get along?" she questioned.
"You are the first human to befrid an ogre, she is quite aggressive you know, I think they can but everyone keeps fighting over power, they will need someone to guide them, someone who they can trust," he responded as she lowered her head and her hair fell beside her face.
