Chapter 77: Never Trust A Pixie
"The Fox guardian?" I asked but I knew she was clearly talking about William and his cold aura. I was suddenly curious about what the creatures thought of him, I knew they didn’t get near him because of his aura, to begin with, but I had a feeling they knew about him even to be afraid.
"Ha yes, Basker’s heir" she shivered like she was telling a horror story. "No one gets near him..." she stops facing me with an expression I cannot understand. "No one" she added with venom and a cold chill ran through my spine at her sudden change of gesture.
But as quick as her stern mood came it was gone and replaced with her usual amused look, why do I get the feeling she was faking it?
"So... when I lead you away from the river flow, where will you go, do you have a home?"
"Well, I..." I didn’t know what to say, I can’t say I stay at the library to raise suspicion, but isn’t that for the better? Just tell her I’m from the library...? There is something off about this little pixie, she was all smiley but the quick change to her emotions was enough to cause me to be alert. But I didn’t have a choice right now... If she doesn’t lead me out of the river flow I’m afraid I will get even more lost. I could still picture the tree William and I set for our picnic... when I get to that area I’m certain I will recognize it.
"If you don’t have where to go you can stay with the pixies, we would love to accompany someone especially one who has a delightful scent"
"I-I have a home"
"You do?" she tilted her head to the side in question and I gulped.
"J-Just lead me away from the river and I will find my way back"
