She nodded, ran over and picked up the fairy, holding him in her arms like a doll while comforting him softly. While inspecting the camp, A

Okles found no bodies, possibly because the Cyclops had been eating his prey, and most of the blood stains left behind had been washed away by the weather. He walked around the remains of the fire pit, trying to remember how the fight had begun and where he had been caught.
At last he saw his sword lying in a clearing a few yards from where he expected it to be, and with an evil grin he picked it up. He checked it quickly and carefully and was pleased to see that it hadn't even started to rust because the oil had somehow held on.
He found his duffel bag nearby, torn by scavengers. However, the jars and sparklers were still good, so he grabbed what he could and walked toward the horse, who found a trough, probably for washing tools, and drank a lot of the rainwater.
He called Gabby, and Gabby ran over and hugged the fairy like a doll. Ankerix noticed that the fairy was still wiping his tears.
"What's wrong with him? Is he hurt?"
"He was hurt, but only emotionally. It was because his friend was scaring him with the wind," Galbi explained.
Wolf Sca
With a trembling voice, he exclaimed: "I forgot who all my friends were! For a long time, I had no one at all, until Gabby found me. When I finally did, he blew me away Blowing around as if I don’t matter at all!”
"Have you lost all your friends? Other fairies, or something else?" A

okles asked. This is what he remembers about Wolf Sca
First mention.
"Yeah! I forgot who they were and couldn't find them. This made me lonely for a long time. Now I can't find them anymore because I feel like they don't care about me anymore!" said the fairy, She snuggled deeper into Galbi's arms, sounding desperate.
ah. Heartache. "I know how you feel, little one. All my friends are dead. Every one of them. So I know how you feel. I guess we're the same in a way." "Except I'm strong, And you're as weak as a bird," he didn't add. He said, "But I feel like you're judging your friend, or something, too soon. He did us a favor. Look what I found."
Androcles showed the children the sword, which shone in the sunlight. Wolf Sca

Bi stuck his head out of his arms and stared at it for a while. Then he said: "It's a sword! A big one."
"Must be bigger than your little bones," Ankrex said with a grin. "If your friend hadn't blown the fog away, I would never have found it. So he wasn't trying to hurt you, he was helping me find this. Gabby, let's go up there."
After mounting his horse and continuing on the road, Androcles asked: "Who is this sea breeze guy?"
Wolf Sca
Flying beside the horse, looking at the sword with a fingertip in his mouth. "The sea breeze is not his name. He is the sea breeze. The sea breeze is an old wind, so it must go back to the mountains to become young again. That is the spring breeze. They must go to the sea to grow old."
"Oh, so this is a halo?"
"What is the halo?" asked the fairy.
"One halo, two halo. Sylphs. That's what we call them in Glory. But I've never heard of them getting old." "We certainly don't see them that often. But I've heard Pass."
"Maybe. It sounds like the same thing."
"Are you like this? An elf?"
Wolf Sca
Think about it for a while. "It's hard to explain. I think it's just too hard."
"I'm curious. Give it a try," Androx said. If fairies had any purpose other than being spies and being a lamp, he wanted to know. The horse seemed to be walking more easily, which led him to think that the wolf might not be nearby.
"Oh. Well, I don't really remember. But I guess I was a flower once, and then I grew up and got old again, so I had to be young again, and I forgot everything. I guess I did It's been a long time," said the fairy. He put his fingertips in his mouth again, frowning and staring at the sky. "I know what a lot of things are, but I don't know why. And there are some things I don't know, like doors. I don't know what a door is. Or I forget."
"Well, that's no use," Androx decided with a sigh. "I see. If you happen to remember that you can move wind or water or create lightning or something, please let me know."
"Can flowers create lightning?" Wolfsca
asked.
"Only the gods know. Why do you ask me?"
"You asked me first! "Why can a flower emit lightning?"
Gabby chimed in: "You're a flower elf? Oh, that's perfect! You're so handsome. That makes sense."

Ask Ga
bi: "You think he is a

d?" Then he laughed loudly, confusing the other two.
"What's so funny?" Wolf Sca
asked angrily. "Are you making fun of me?"
"Sometimes the gods are bastards, that's all. One of my sons is called Flower, and I think he doesn't like the name. You're actually a flower, and your name is Wolf Sca
. Maybe you two should use your names together," he said with a smile. Then he encouraged the horse to pick up the pace a little. Although the sky was clear and there were no animals on the road, the barbarian goddess might have more than one trick up her sleeve.
"Well, I guess I was once just a flower and now I'm not a flower anymore! I'm a fairy now. And a boy so I can be a hero." Wolf Sca
argued. "I chose WolfScar because it was the scariest name I could think of and I wanted to keep it!"
"I know a name that's scarier than that."
The fairy turned and looked at him. "What's up?"
"A
d
okles!”
Gabby chuckled at that.
Then a voice behind them, which sounded like the crunch of gravel, said: "Mari is scarier."
A

Before okles even looked back, he instinctively kicked the horse to make it move forward. Gabby screamed so loud she could barely breathe afterward; the sound cracked his ears. Wolf Sca
Quickly got into A

Okles' robe had a hole drilled somewhere near his armpit.
After the horse had gone a few yards, he looked back behind it and saw the goddess gliding passively behind them, her feet sliding on the dirt of the road like a boat on calm water. She wore the same leaf robe, but this time it was all yellow and red, dotted with various bones. Her eyes still sparkled with fire and she was beautiful again.
"Did I scare you?" she said with a smile. The sound was terrible, like trees snapping in a strong wind. "Little ones, or are your names scarier than mine?"
Androx chose not to answer, instead focusing on getting his horse to run in the right direction. He doubted he could outrun the goddess, but it was worth a try. Gabby hugged him with newfound strength, repeating over and over: "What is that! Who is she!"
Then Mary came up beside them, following the horse. "I am your mother's goddess, dear Galbi. And your father's," she said. She exuded a feeling of love and peace, but Androx knew it was a lie. Something feels wrong. They pray to me and I bless them. Won't you come to me?"
"Don't let go, girl!" She lied! She wants to eat you! Anklex shouted as she felt Gabby's hand loosen.
"They are a part of me. Come. Become a part of me and I will take you to them. Your parents need you," the goddess said softly, extending her hand gracefully. Her voice is like the most loving mother, gentle and sweet. "I am the Goddess Mary. They are crying for you. You must help them. Come to me."
A

Okles frowned and looked at the goddess. She hovers in the air, wearing a robe like the blue sky. Her golden, metallic hair floated in the air, unaffected by the wind, and sparkled in the sunlight. She is very pretty. She is terrible.
"Gabby, she's ugly inside. Don't listen to her. Don't let me go," he said lamely.
"I will make you beautiful and your parents will adore you and hold you in their arms and you will be precious to them. Come to me. I am Mary."
Gabby let go of Androcles again, and he shouted, "Gabby, if you let go, I swear to God, I'm going to throw you into a pile of sheep shit and keep you there for a week! You Both parents are dead!"
The goddess came forward to greet Galbi and said: "Dear child, did your mother teach you to obey the gods? Didn't you pray to me? Do you hate your mother? You should not disobey my orders. I am Mary."
In despair, Androcles seized his spear and swung it at the goddess, hoping to knock her hand off. She just calmly took it back. He swung the spear again in a wide arc, trying to catch the goddess with the blade, but each time she floated out of reach. "Come and get the girl. Try it!" he shouted.
The goddess smiled, her mouth opened incredibly wide, revealing her knife-like teeth, gleaming and extremely sharp. "Go forward. Look what I have done. You will lose heart, and I will eat you last. My bear has been gathered, and my thorns have been gathered. My wolf has come. I am Mary." Then she was gone .
The horse rode on, galloping, and Androcles let it run away. He took a moment to catch his breath; the goddess wasn't trying to overwhelm him with her intentions this time, but even so, she was intimidating. Once he felt he had regained his senses, he asked, "Gabby, are you okay?"
"A little," she shouted, trying to keep her voice above the sound of hooves and the wind.
"What does a little bit better mean?" he asked.
"I just..." She remained silent.
"Wolfsca
, go out and see her. "A

okles ordered angrily. He didn't have time to stop and see her for himself. His children were in danger, but Gabi wasn't, at least not right away. Unless...gods, what if a gorgon tore her apart?
He pulled the horse back. It took a while; the stupid thing got scared and wouldn't listen to him. It's not as strong as him, though; not really. Finally it stopped.
"I don't know what's going on!" Gabi yelled, desperately clutching Anklex's robe. She was shaking. Is she about to collapse again?
He turned around, picked her up, and sat her sideways in front of him, legs to the side. He put an arm around her and pulled on the reins with his other hand to get the horse moving again.
"I'll tell you as soon as you calm down, girl. Take a deep breath and try to relax your body. Got it? Relax or you'll fall apart like you did before. Okay. Keep doing this."
Wolf Sca

Okles crawled out of her robe, sat on her shoulders, and patted her head comfortingly. After a while, she finally felt less stiff and breathing easier. Androx said: "Do you remember that Tartalo? The goddess that everyone here worshiped married him. Figure. When I rescued you from the pit, he chased us, so I killed him. Now The goddess is mad at me.”
"Is that her husband?" Gabby asked shamefully. Her shock hadn't completely worn off, but it was fading. Children's emotions. "He's so disgusting!"
"You're kidding me. We were going to pick up my kids because she promised to eat them. I didn't want her to do that," he said.
"She eats children?" Is this why you didn't let me go with her to find her mother?" Ga
Bi asked.
"Yes, that's why. She eats children. I think that's very rude." "Now you know what's going on. I'm going to get my kids back, and then we'll go north to find Dai." La. I've been spending too much time on this nonsense and it's starting to get on my nerves. Now do me a favor and keep quiet and let me hear if there's any trouble. You and Wolf Scar can whisper , but only in whispers. Got it? Only in whispers."
After walking another mile or so, Androx saw a huge, heavy plume of gray smoke rising from somewhere a few miles away. It was obscured by mountains and trees, and now that he saw it, it made him nervous. If he calculated the distance correctly, the basket should be around here. If he found his children roasting over the fire, he would not only kill the goddess but use her skin as a cloak.
He was growing more and more frightened, and he stared at the woods and rode towards the fire. The horse was so tired that it could go no further, so Androcles jumped off, leaving Galbi in the saddle and following the horse. It seemed reluctant to move, but did so anyway. Time passed and dusk fell; they could see the smoke being ignited by the flames, which became more and more visible as the sky grew darker. It reminded him of the lighthouses that civilized people placed along the coastline to keep ships away from the rocks in the dark.
If he hadn't been so stupid, he wouldn't have done it. What kind of idiot shows up when the goddess says "Come here and I can kill you"? But there his children are, either alive or dead. He won't hesitate until he knows.
He thought it over, trying to look angry, indignant, and proud. He tries to feel offended and retaliate. But he can't. He only worried about his children. Aguna can fuck better than most men, but Mary is a goddess.
