After nearly one whole day of travelling in a complete silence with Sakurai (Nino mostly grumbling to himself) leading the way on his own horse, Nino finally spoke out, “So… what is this Sorcerers’ village we’re going to?”
“It’s called Magus, where most of sorcerers dwell are.”
“What a weird name.”
“Shh...” Sakurai said suddenly, stopping his horse, his eyes looking around in alert. Followed by Nino who look around in alarm.“W-what?”
The sun is setting that the darkness nearly upon them that is when Nino realized they were travelling through a thick forest and the silence is eerie and bode ill.
“Something is here…”Sakurai whispered.
Hair-rising deep growls startled both of them and suddenly three creatures jumped out of the bushes. The horses went wild, both Sakurai and Nino get thrown off their horses in those attack.
“Ouch that really hurts how many times I’m going to fall on my butt today?” Nino grumbled as he gets on his feet along with Sakurai who now staring at the creatures that attacked them while trying to calm their horses. “Werewolves.”
“W-what? Werewolves? Oh god, we’re dead.” Nino’s eyes widened as he saw the three wolves blocking their path. The larger one in the middle with dirty silver fur looked like the leader, staring at them with his golden eyes. “Who are you to ventures into our territory?” It growled. ‘Great! It talked!’ Nino thought with sarcasm.
“Your territory?” Nino piped up but Sakurai stood before him. “We apologises for our intrusion into your territory as we are not familiar with this place.” “Yeah, now can we go pass, we need to go somewhere.” said Nino out of habit and realised it is too late to shut his big mouth. Sakurai shot him a warning look.
The leader of the werewolves barked a laugh. “If you think you can pass so easy through our territory, you are wrong! I am Nagase, the leader of the Outcast. And you two will be our dinner tonight.”
“Okay now what do we do? Remind you, I still got no magic, you can use your power.” Nino whispered worriedly to Sakurai.
“I cannot use my power to harm the beings in the Realms, only to use for help.”
“And you’re supposed to help me!!” Nino looked at the three werewolves now approaching them dangerously, growling loudly. Look like they are really ravenous tonight.
Just as the werewolf on the left with brown fur started to pounce on them a silver arrow appeared out of nowhere grazed the wolf’s face make him drop down on the ground inches from the frighten two, howling in pain as the scratch bleeding profusely. Sakurai and Nino breathe a sigh of relief looking at the fallen werewolf.
The leader turned towards where the arrow came from, up on a tree branch a figure stood by the shadow.
“Who are you?!” The leader growled menacingly.
“Leave them alone or I will not hesitate to give you more of my silver arrows.” said the figure.
The leader looked at his injured wolf still whimpering from the pain, injury caused by silver really hard to heal despite their healing ability. It may kill them if the silver struck through their heart. His golden eyes narrowed and he turned towards his two companions. “Retreat,” He growled and his two wolves followed him disappeared through the forest.
“Phew that was close.” Nino wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and looked at the figure that still stood in the shadow by the moonlight.
“May we know who you are?” asked Sakurai. “So that we could thank our saviour.”
The figure jumped from the tree branch and landed in front of them, the stranger wore a white hooded cloak that hides his face. He also carried a bow and arrows. “There is no need to thank me, it was a coincidence that I passed by here.” Smooth voice came from the stranger.
Slowly the stranger lowered his hood revealing a slight tanned man with pointed ears. His black hair has a strike of blue in it and he has strange markings like tattoo swirling on the sides of his face. It will look rather intimidating if it isn’t for his chubby cheeks that make him look young.
Sakurai gasped as he recognised the stranger, “You’re an Elf?”
“Yes, I am from the Kingdom itself, a Knight sent by the King.”
“The King?”
“On a mission to retrieve the stolen orb,” the elf said.
“You too?”
The elf raised an eyebrow at Nino. Sakurai cleared his throat. “I am Sakurai Sho, the Keeper of the Realms. This is Ninomiya Kazunari the sorcerer from the Human Realm.”
The elf’s eyes widen and his ears perked in interest, “The sorcerer said by the Fate?”
Sakurai nodded. “It is a pleasure to finally to meet you. I am Ohno Satoshi, Knight First Class from the Elvin Kingdom.”
“N-nice to meet you, you are really cool back there with your arrow.”
The elf named Ohno smiled, “It is my favourite choice of weapon. I could handle two swords at the same time too, but this is easy to carry.”
“We should set a camp here and lit up fire, we do not want those werewolves to come back. We’ll continue travel at dawn.”
“Excuse me for asking, where will both of you go? Outland?”
“No, we have to go to Magus first, then to the Vampire clan before Hall of Knowledge then the Outland.”
“Yep, like what he said.”
Ohno blinked a few times. “That’s a long journey, if you don’t mind… I could come and help,”
“Yeah sure, you’re will be a great help. Right, Sakurai?” Nino nudged Sakurai much to the other’s dismay. “I don’t have any objection.” Although Sakurai eyeing the elf suspiciously.

Nino becomes more talkative with Ohno presence during their journey to Magus. The elf is more into listening to what Nino is spouting about what things in Human Realm in which the elf himself finds it fascinating. Somehow Nino found a calm and peaceful presence whenever he is with the elf.
“I would like to try of what you call ‘video games’ one day,” said the elf, eyes filled with amusement.
“Sure, I’ll borrow you one when I get back to human realm in one piece. I don’t know if I could post it to you…”
Ohno explained that the Elvin Kingdom is once a peaceful place as elves is a calm and peace beings. But since the King’s half-brother disrupted the peace and creates chaos, the Kingdom is much different now.
Meanwhile Sakurai only observed the both of them, especially the elf which he eyed with deep curiosity but did not ask anything.
After two-day’s journey from when they met Ohno they finally arrived at Magus, the Sorcerers’ village. But they are in such a surprising welcome from the villagers.
As soon as they entered the gate to the village, around ten green hooded men appeared circling them with a stick of wood pointing at them.
“Woa, what’s happening?”
One of the green hooded men in the front of them steps up to them. “We demand you to tell us your purpose to come here,” he demanded in a very deep voice.
Before Sakurai could speak up, he was cut off by Ohno. “We are here for a mission from the Great King of Elvin.” Ohno hold out something that only the green hooded man who asked them could see.
“Drop your wands.” The man ordered towards the other green hooded men who immediately obeyed. “Please accept our sincerest apologies for our rudeness. We will escort you to an inn. Our Head Sorcerer will immediately come to see you.”
