Family Trip

"Let's stay for the night here. - Appa

"Yoohooooo !! Camping !! - Leo

"Good thing I brought my tent. -^-^-

"You have a tent ? Haha, very prepared.

"Yep, he brought our whole house with him hahaha. - Lily

*everyone laughing

"You don't need to bring tent next time, okay ?

Father chants a spell and suddenly appeared a campfire with 4 tents around.

"Woaaaaaaaah!! -everyone

They all looked impressed in the magic their father did.

*clap, clap, clap

"Leo claps his hands as he amazed his father's doing.

"Daebak !

"We rest here for today.

"I have snacks! Who wants some? - Leo

"How many ramyeon you bring ? -Lily

"I brought 3. - Leo

"I brought 2. - Jared

"Then let's eat ramyeon together. Appa you missed eating ramyeon right ?

"Yes ! I'll make hot water in the campfire.

"Okay! Let's set here.

*Everyone gathered near the fire to make themselves warm in the coldness of the night while eating their dinner.

"Appa, how long do we need to walk to arrive in our destination ? - Lily

"Hmmmm. Gardarein is a small village in the boundary of Brittanea. So by tomorrow noon we can reach it by walking.

"Appa why don't we use your magic broom ? So we can go there fast by flying. - Leo

"Hahahahahahahaha!

Father burst into laughter when he hears his son's word.

"You are very funny Leo. I don't have any magic broom. Hahahaha

"Then how about horses? Or any transportation we can use ? - Jared

"Well, we can't attract any attention that is why we were walking. If we walk, we are like other passer's by. If we use horses, palace guards can spot us since they also uses horses. If we fly, then we will be spotted right away. Haha

"We can flyyyyyy ????? I mean you can fly dad ? And you can make us fly tooo ?????

- Leo asked his dad with excitement when he heard the word fly.

"Yes, I can make us all fly, but as I said earlier we can be spotted right away.

"Why are we hiding dad ? -Lily

"They are searching for me for a very long time now because I hide from everyone when King Philip died. His son needs something from me.

"The Emperor ? Then where are you hiding? And how can you sustain your life and us at the same time if you are in hiding ? - Lily

"Well, you see that mountain over there ?

"It's dark, appa. I can't see.

"The highest part of that mountain? Can you see?

*Lily nods

"That part of the mountain is where I hide. No one can enter that forest for I put a spell in it that whoever enters will get lost. As for how I sustain my life. I trade spells and potions to the needed. You see wizards and witches are a job here, same as hunters and killers. I just go down from the mountain, go to the city by changing my face. Look for posts in the plaza who needs help or service of magic, then I do it for gold coins. I give gold coins to your mother and then she sells it to pawnshop for money.

"Sometimes, if I overproduced my potions I sell it at the plaza for money or food. They can't recognized me because I put transformation spell on me. Many days I am an old merchant, sometimes a lady but in general I prefer to look young. Hahaha

"Daebak, Appa! -Leo

"You can also make your appearance change ?? Do it to me ! Make me a man !! Hahaha

"Maybe next time. Haha

"Why not make ourselves unrecognizable and then fly? Oh! it doesn't make sense, haha. I mean change our appearance then ride a horse for faster travel. - Lily

"Well, it's not that I don't have the ability to but I just don't want to change your faces. I miss seeing those faces. Leo is a teen now, a curious teen. The last time I saw you, you are still a child. Jared too, you're tall now and smart, last time you are like Leo, a curious teen. And Lily, you grew fine into a beautiful woman. I missed your faces and wants to remember your faces. You grew faster my children and I am not in your side as you grow into handsome and beautiful people. Please allow me to not change your appearance.

"And also since you are not from here naturally they won't suspect your faces, just your clothes. So here, change into this while you are in this world.

Father gives us clothes that are worn in this world. It really looks like I'm in Game of Thrones. It looks shabby and not fashionable at all.

"Also wear this cloak.

Father also give each one of us a cloak like from the Lord of the Rings hahaha, my dear Frodo. >w<

*Everyone slept in their tents and rest for the night. In the morning, they changed into clothes that their father give them and ready to travel.

"We're here - Appa

"This is Gardarein ? It's a small town huh. - Lily.

"Yes it is, but people here are kindhearted and simple.

*They arrived at Gardarein and went inside the village's saloon to eat lunch.

"Wear your hoods to cover your faces.

*Everyone raises their hoods as they ordered until they finished their food.

"Let's go! - Appa

"Wait! - palace guard

Father mumbles words as he is holding his face.

"Show your faces - guard

Father raises his hood and we are shocked that his appearance became a grandpa.

"Children raise your hoods, do as the guard says.

We followed our father's command and raise our hood to uncover our faces.

"Guards, did we do something wrong? I just treat my grandchildren to a good meal before I passed away.

"Oh no grandpa, we're sorry to interrupt your bonding time with your grandchildren

"Then good day to you young man. Let's go children.

We followed our father who disguises as a grandpa. He removed his disguise after we passed at the plaza. We are now in a farm in some part of Gardarein. We then entered a dark forest. It is dark because of the shadow of tall trees.

"This is where it gets creepy in horror movies. Leo said scarily

"Don't worry Leo, you are safe here. There's a spell in the entrance of the forest here. No one can enter here except me and my people.

We then walk straight until we saw a beautiful lake on the end of the way.

"Wow !! So beautiful ! - Lily

*Amazed in the beauty of the view.
