Chapter 215: Seeking Aceco’s Help Again
Rhett
~~
That night before the orientation day, Rhett was sent as an ’emissary’ to speak with Aceco. They needed her help with making a veil of sorts over the camp.
He grumbled at the decision, but Darius was right... They needed help. Soon, he got to Aceco’s cabin, surrounded by fresh moss and huge trees stretching as far as the eyes could see.
He got to the cabin’s door and was about to hold on to the weathered door knob and knock when he remembered something. Beta Darius had tried doing the same and suffered the consequences. There was a protective veil over this cabin, placed by the healer fairy herself. A testament to why they needed Aceco’s help.
He cleared his throat and was about to call out the fairy healer when the door opened, seemingly by itself. But soon, a slender hand held onto it from within, before peering out her head. Aceco.
"Gamma Rhett, what a pleasant surprise!" Aceco beamed with a smile, her long silver hair cascading like the wind behind her as her wings fluttered. "How’ve you been?"
Rhett smiled, his eyes lingering respectfully on the fairy Healer. Her aura was just beyond ethereal, and her white garment shimmered, providing light against the darkness of night. But aside from that, multiple fireflies flew around her cabin, illuminating the place. Rhett didn’t doubt that they were an extension of sorts of Aceco’s magic.
"I’ve been good, Aceco. May I come in?" He gestured awkwardly, as he stretched his head to get a peep of the cabin. He remembered how majestic the inside was. "We have a favor to ask of you."
