Chapter 33: Ch 33 : Porlyusica
The scorching heat filled the lush green forest, and the sweltering temperature made even the leaves and the heavy earth feel as if they were being scorched.
Evaporation, suffocation, devastation, oppression—whether it was the blazing midday sun or the distant conflict, it felt as if they were tearing apart every fiber and cell of existence.
From time to time, distant explosions and surges of magical energy echoed through the air, signaling the terrifying battle raging far away—one that seemed capable of shattering the very heavens and earth.
Yet, here in this place, there was only peace, a tranquility as serene as a hidden paradise from legend.
"The trees, the earth, the air... all are trembling in fear, as if foretelling the arrival of a storm..."
A dark cloak draped over her shoulders, and though deep wrinkles lined her face, traces of the stunning beauty she once possessed in her youth could still be seen in the elderly woman with soft pink hair.
Porlyusica, the renowned healing mage, lived alone in the eastern forest of Magnolia.
Due to its remote location, the area had long been considered part of Fairy Tail's territory.
Despite her dislike for humans, Porlyusica possessed extraordinary healing magic, which made her presence both invaluable and enigmatic.
Even among Fairy Tail's members, she remained a mystery—an elusive recluse known only to dwell within this secluded land.
Naturally, rumors had spread throughout the guild that she was once the old lover of their master, Makarov.
