"Your child? Did someone have the guts to abduct your eggs, and they even got away with it? That's honesty surprising." No one in there right mind would have able to do that so easily, it must be highly organised plan to do something.
"I don't want to talk about that time, I did something which have. I regret it till this day, that's way I always think before I kill someone." Alsana's remorse of in her words.
"She must have done something very terrible if she regrets it 15 centuries later, what would I have done if the orphanage got killed?"
Silver tried to remember the faces of the kids in the orphanage he grew up and, he used to visit the kids there even body and financially support them whenever he could.
He tried to imagine the dead body of any child present there.
"!" There was a burst of anger, a sudden wave of anger ran through his body. He gritted his teeth, imagining what would me to the killer if he ever met him. He quickly tried to shake the feeling away.
"We are reaching the ground."
Soon enough, the serpent carved a large hole through the ground. Silver jumped off Alsana's body and she transformed into her human form in a second.
Silver looked around the land was covered completely in snow everywhere, the trees has lost there leaves, the clouds covered the sky and the wind was chilling cold. But there was something that caught Silver's attention more than anything.
"Is that a protection spell?"
On their north not too far, a large wall of magic standing, it felt the wall of tall as the heavens and spread over to the horizon. As if the wall differentiated two world from each other, by the rule of nature, a marvel and wonder to see.
"It is called the great seal of the north. Made for protecting humanity from me, after I was accused of wiping out every human in northern realms. The spell is of the highest potency and strength, it is still active even after 500 years after the death of the caster. So, I can say it highly effective."
"Awesome. Mages and wizards of the academy would kill themselves in shame after seeing something of this caliber. Like can you imagine-"
While Silver talked in the awe of the all of magic's heights. Alsana's eyes were searching elsewhere, she could feels her nearby, there was anticipation, happiness and worrieness all in her heart. Time was ticking...
Alsana walked one step at a time, it was no use walking fast. She let the feeling come to her heart and eyes. It was cold, very cold for a normal human, or any cold blooded being, but she would be fine it was her daughter after all.
She walked closer and closer to the her destination, Silver was walking behind her or not? Who knew?
"She should be a few minutes away, one, two... there."
"She isn't even noticing me around her." Silver who walking right behind Alsana, who vulnerable she had become in a second; "What could force a feeling like this?"
"There she is!" Alsana went running ahead into the snow, while Silver continued walking with the fireball in his hands.
A face was barely keeping above the snow, Alsana ran forward and dug up her daughter from the snow. She was asleep or fainted, but she was alive; Alsana's actions could tell that much.
When she dug her up, the body a little girl lying in the snow wearing a white dress with green hair and facial feature so alike; it felt like it Alsana's childhood form.
She picked her and hugged her tightly, rubbing her face across her. Silver use to hear the snakes hatchlings are alone from their birth, but this offspring for quite lucky.
"Seraphina... were you? For so long I have waited for this for very long." Silver watched from the sides, there was nothing that he knew about Alsana; he had barely known her for half an hour but seeing her like this made him happy only if a little bit.
「Skill Activated: Light of Fireflies」
"Someone's coming this way!!"
The skill, Light of fireflies allowed Silver to track anyone if they was walking nearby or on the same track as him for the last 1 hour. Its activation meant that some has found our tracks and is coming towards us.
"I need to stop them right now. If Alsana gets disturbed right now, I doubt what kind of death that person will get." Silver left the reunited kid and mother alone, and went on rescue mission.
「Activating Skill: Lighting and Thunder」
Electricity erupted from Silver's body as he gathered mana to boost himself back to the location. He rushed through path from where they came from covering the distance in a half a minute.
"There you are!" Silver swinged his sword, right at the man standing near the tracks.
"How are you?" The question came after Silver's sword clashed with a iron staff the man was holding in his hands. He had yellow eyes, black hair and wearing armour red through on his body, from his looks he was quite young, handsome( not as much as Silver) and strong.
"How are you? Why are you wearing a mask on your face?"
"How is that your problem? It's my face, I can cover it all I like."
"I can't show my face in public just yet, and he won't understand if I tried explaining him that the pridomial serpent is just ahead. So, I covered my face with the cloth of my cloak and decided to beat the shit of him and send him back."
Give me your name and status, are you in the middle of the battlefield and I might have some mercy upon you for attacking me."
"I suggest you go back to your place. The area ahead is quite dangerous. And, for my name... you can call the Outsider."
