Arlene POV
After the two defeated the five wolves, we decided to leave hostages, the two Leo burnt. Both of them are still unconscious.
We were about to leave when I felt something strange about the situation.
There seems to be something missing—
My forehead furrowed. "Where is June?" the three of us were shocked to realize that June was missing. "Where did your leader go?!"
Womin and Leo were immediately confused, before quickly running around and screaming.
"JUNE!!!"
"JUNE !! WHERE ARE YOU ??? !!"
"JUNE!!!"
I turned my attention here to Roland I was supporting. He winced at the pain his whole body felt. Disappointment was also evident on his face. Probably because of their leader.
"Tsk! It's an extraordinary life! When are we going to end up playing hide and seek with your teammates?!" I proclaimed. "Son of a bitchy horse really! Who is the traitor in your world? Huh?"
Who really is the traitor?
I hope I'd get an answer.
The two skeptics returned to their proper countenances.
Who can't be bothered by the ridiculous happening here? Shit! Here it is!
Roland is with us, we just need to find the rest. Besides, Roland knows a lot, that's for sure.
I know.
Fantasy is really alive, there are many twists and turns in the story.
"Roland…" Womin brought something. That's a cloth. "I-is what I have in mind wrong ...?"
I didn’t understand what Womin was implying there.
"Leader, suddenly gone, he backed out. Pest." I said.
"Shut up, Arlene." Leo said.
Roland picked up the cloth Womin had laid out, before stroking, closing his eyes, and feeling it.
Simultaneously when he opens his eyes, he release the cloth, causing it to fall to the ground. "This fabric is from… Celine. I can't be wrong with her, the princess is here. But…" Roland frowned.
"It's possible the princess came from here, that's just my conclusion. She would have approached us." I said. "And Suho's disappearance now. There's a possibility he left, or the wolves took him."
"I do not think so." said Leo. "Why isn't there even a noise in case he gets caught?"
"Let's assume those wolves are stronger, compared to your opponents." I speak. "Let's be logical here. Oh, all right, what else do you think is the other reason?"
"Can you not pass us by with your logic? We have a lot of magic in our world, within magic many things are possible." said Leo. "It doesn't matter what you say. Oh, what now?" his jaw tightened with annoyance.
"Someone is following us so he got Suho—"
"Stop!" said Roland. "You're always arguing so the situation is getting worse."
Always?
"He left to follow the princess…" we all turned to Womin. Slightly he bowed his head. "I just think so. Because it's impossible for him to leave or be caught by wolves because he knows how to fight back. I think… I think that's the reason… Oh, if he left there must still be a reason for that."
We all looked at each other because of that. We were all immersed in intense puzzles.
"Let's go in again." Roland said, before turning to me. "You still have a lot to know. Only my power can do it." I gulped.
Suddenly nervousness waved at the serious expression on his face. The information we will find out today seems heavy.

Solenn POV
I woke up because of the gentle touch on my face. I was stunned for a moment before my spirit finally woke up.
I was in the shade of a tree and lying on the grass. Gently touching my face was a dry leaf shovel. I removed that leaf and slowly sat down.
When I suddenly turned to my side— "AHHHHHHHHH!" I get up and walk away slightly. "Gio, how long you'vebeen there?! Your eyes are terrific! You look like, I think I'm your next target! Killer vibes!"
He stand. "I've been watching you. You've been asleep for a few hours. It's going to be night."
'That's it? His face didn't even react. I just nodded. "Where is... Ren?"
His forehead furrowed. "I left him. He checking the surroundings, why?"
"Why did you left him? Maybe later what else might happen to him!"
"Are you worried about him?"
I didn't answer and just sat down again. He also sat next to me, causing me to get annoyed. He's really a trouble, I'm supposed to stop what I'm feeling and then he's getting closer?
What's his problem?
I'll poke his eye!
"What happened to me?" I change the topic.
"You lost consciousness earlier so I brought you here immediately. You were also sweating even though the wind was very strong."
"Sweating?"
There my memories suddenly returned. Even the fear I felt. My heart beat faster again. This is how I feel when something happens that you don’t want.
I heard that voice again, which immediately delivered that horror throughout my system. I think she’s calling me, and she won’t stop.
My hairs rose all over my body. Something suddenly swirled inside my stomach, causing me to be completely swallowed up by nervousness and fear.
Sweat began to form on my forehead, even on my palms.
"Solenn?" he said. "Solenn, you're pale."
"I can hear…" my hands trembled as I covered my ear. "I can hear her… I can hear… I can hear…"
I close my eyes. I was crying that I couldn’t explain. Why am I feeling this way?
"Solenn?" Gio touched both my cheeks before presenting it to him. “Solenn, just calm down. I'm here." I couldn’t look into his eyes. I kept my eyes closed.
"No…" I still shook my head a few times. "No… I can hear him, I'm scared." my tears suddenly flowed.
I don't know where my tears are coming from. It was as if my chest would explode with the mixed emotions I was feeling. I do not understand.
Gio immediately hugged me.
"What happened?" I heard Ren's voice. “I don’t know,” Gio said.
I was the only one who hearing her.
Why?
Why just me?
What do you need?!
Why am I feeling this way?!
I'm getting scared. I was holding my head when it suddenly stung. "Ahh!"
Confused, Gio supports me. Ren also squatted to look at me.
"Solenn?"
It was as if my head would break because of the pain. It was as if I had been hit, or struck very hard with a large stick. It was as if all the nerves in my head were bursting. Smearing and warming up.
"Ahhhhh!"
"Solenn!"
"Solenn, look at me! Solenn!"
"I don't want to!!" I can almost tweak my own hair because of how I feel. I feel like I'm going crazy.
"Solenn, look at us…" Ren said. “W-what can we do?"
"Tell me how you feel, Solenn…" Gio said. "W-we'll do… Any way, Solenn!"
I could feel the confusion in the voices of the two of them.
"STOP!!!"
That voice of mine echoed all around. Simultaneously with my loud shout, the sudden silence of the whole surroundings. My headache disappeared like a snap, and the mixed emotions I was feeling.
I slowly lowered my hand, at the same time opening up my eyes. I turned to Gio and Ren. I was shocked that they both didn't move like statues.
"G-Gio…?"
"Ren?"
I stood up and immediately looked around. The birds flying, the trees, the leaves flying in the air, all stopped. I touched a dry leaf that was in the air and not moving. When I tried to release it, my chest throbbed. Instead of falling to the ground I just left it where I left it.
Time stopped moving.
Until I felt someone standing behind me, before I could turn around someone covered my mouth.
