Chapter 4 - The Fated Encounter

After the awakening of the 2nd head, the Lynx becomes more powerful and instantly overpowers Elsha.

"I give you praise for resisting till now but I guess this is the end"

Ruksh says to Elsha with a growl.

But the Lynx was surprised because even in this situation she wasn't even scared or even sweating.

'She will have something up in her sleeve, we need to finish this before she uses it' 

After this thought the Lynx is about to kill his prey. Suddenly the little sparrow rushed toward Elsha and pecked at the head of Ruksh.

Due to the interference of Skye, The Lynx jumps one step backward.

"where does this stupid bird come from" the Lynx says and strikes her down.

Due to a heavy strike, the little bird gets heavily injured and becomes unconscious.

"Loyalty towards your master and risking your life. Good, then I will send you together with your master" After saying this the Lynx approaches Skye.

"hmmm….. I don't know why, but you look-"

Before he could speak his mind the Lynx suddenly felt a huge explosion of mana around it and the little animals that were remaining there also began to evacuate the area.

"What is this monstrous level of mana" 

"Why did you do that to Skye" Elsha's raging mana covered the area.

At that moment the Lynx realized that he flipped an unwanted switch.

"Brother, It looks like we are in trouble" Ruga speaks to Ruksh with a sweating face.

"Don't be feared by her mana Ruga. She is just a human, Why are you panicking"

Even though Ruksh says that, In his mind, he knows he is in trouble.

Then Elsha pointed her finger at The Lynx and cast the spell "explōsiōni" 

Next the mana that raged surrounding her condensed at one point and exploded, about a large area covered in the blast. Upon coming back to her senses, she realized Skye was also present there. She panicked and looked for her.

The little sparrow was found near the rock, where she was lying after getting hit by the Lynx. For God's sake, she only had the injury from the Lynx and didn't get any burn.

"Ah right, what happened to the Lynx" Elsha says.

Elsha carries Skye with care and casts a spell, "RECOVERY" and the wounds of Skye heal, she is still asleep from exhaustion due to blood loss.

Then she searched for the Lynx, The dust covering the whole area cleared slowly and she saw the figure of the Lynx standing. "I guess it was not enough". But next, she hears the sound "thud". When the area became clearer, the Lynx was lying on the ground and breathing hard with severe burns.

"ha…ha...ha... Argh" The Lynx was in pain.

Elsha approaches the wounded Lynx.

"Girl, this is your win, ha… ha.. you're going to kill us anyway, so kill us now. Or are you waiting to see us dying in pain for giving you trouble".

After giving a long sigh Elsha sat near the Lynx and cast the spell 'RECOVERY'. The Lynx Surprises and asks "Why did you heal us"

Elsha with a smile "I don't like to take life and also for injuring Skye you already got burned and suffered so it equal-equal"

"Girl, even though we tried to kill you because you saved us let me give you some advice, In this world of survival of the fittest and world ruled by the strongest, It's naïve thinking to help your opponent by healing after you defeat them. It will only give them a chance to backstab you"

"Thank you for helping us, Due to we own you, we promise that we will never harm you or let anyone harm you when you're in our territory" The Lynx promised to Elsha.

"Welcome and thank you," Elsha said.

At that time the little sparrow wakes up.

She realizes that everything is over and looks at Lynx's eyes.

The Lynx looks at her and smirks, "Then bye girl, Until we meet again" After saying this the Lynx disappeared into the forest.

"Haa…. It was a long day and due to that cat we're late and it's almost night"

"Let's go, Skye, we need to wash"

And Elsha and Skye continue their search. They walk through the new route and after some time Elsha notices the sound of the water stream.

"Skye, I think we are nearer to the water source" After saying this, she ran towards the source of sound and she found a river.

It's a full moon and the white moonlight reflects on the river, covering the entire area like day, the reflection of the moon on the ripples is sparkling like stars.

Elsha hurries and wash her face and hands, washing away the dust accumulated during her battle.

"Haaa…. Now I feel alive" Elsha says

"Skye let's go to the rock near and get some rest"

Both of them then walk towards the rock. After getting near the rock, Elsha noticed that someone was sitting on the rock. She approaches the person.

It was a young man, about 20 years old by his look, and had long hair which was black and was blowing in the wind, which was covering the full moon like dark clouds. The small hair strand in front of his face was reddish and was like a blood drop and had silver-colored eyes.

Elsha can't take her eyes off that young man. She likes to start a conversation but she couldn't. While she was having trouble talking, the young man noticed her. Their eyes locked with each other.

He asked Elsha without any expression,

"Who Are You?".
