My Aura

A couple of weeks has passed by since the assasination of Athena's life. It caused such distress to the villagers knowing someone was after Athena life.Despite the villager knew that her life was in danger which means so could there lives be, they did not waver and continued to support her.

Athena was busy cleaning the manor since Serfred has finally agreed that they'll leave with Lirius. The two still don't get along but at least they try to get along all for Athena's sake.

Lirius never mentioned to Serfred who Athena really was seeing the man is clueless as well. But he senses that her and a few of the village people know that she is from a noble family but does not know exactly which one.

"Athena, didn't I tell you not do move around so much." Serfred took the broom away from her hand and pushed her out of the room.

"But-" Athena twisted her body to face Serfred but ended for being in front of each other face instead.

Serfred let go of Athena as he averted his body from hers to hide his flustered face. "I'll do the cleaning, you don't need to worry about it. For now just and get restore your energy since I sense your aura is getting weaker."

It's true my aura has been so weak lately that I can barely use any magic at all. Lirius has been checking on me daily as he works on different potions and elixir to boost my mana restoration yet weeks pass and still the same result.

"Fine, I'll go look for Fuji then."

Athena went to search for Fuji outside the manor.

*Since Fuji was not used to the amount of spirit energy inside the manor he prefers to stay outside due to the fact there were quite a lot of enchanted artifacts and plants, he preferred to stay outside.I've been taking care of Fuji for more than two months now and he seems to be growing at such rate.

Unlike me who seems to be tiny for my age. I realized the fact my body was poison for such a long time it affect the growth of my body, as well as its function. My bones seem to be so brittle that I feel it would snap so easily. But thanks to the flower that Gran found last time, I was able to create a potion helping my body to restore its potential.*

Seeing that the potion I did work, every time the team went hunting. I would ask Serfred, Gran, and Arthur to look for the plant again. But they hardly found it every time they go hunting. Since it was such a rare plant, they ended up having a competition about it. Right now Arthur is winning for bringing a total of 3, with Gran 1 and Serfred none.

"Fuji, where are you?"

It was not long for the cub to come out of the corner as it run towards the girl.

"Did you go hunting again?" Athena petted Fuji as he removed the leaves stuck in his fur.

Lirius reminded me that Fuji is not an ordinary wolf, but a Twilight Wolf. He told me if I cannot restore my aura soon Fuji might kill me since it does not see me as it master anymore seeing I do not possess the same aura when he first meet me. The thought of Fuji one day killing me scares me, but I trust Fuji won't hurt me at all.

"Fuji, let's go visit the village."

When they arrived at the village, the villagers gathered as they check on Athena's condition.

"Tina how you been?"

"Tina have you eaten, we're cooking for the men right now."

It pleases Athena seeing how lively the villagers are now. Before they were all like a dead body laying to waste just waiting for them to be buried or burned.

"Everyone, I'm fine... I just came to check on how the crops are doing?"

Athena bid everyone farewell as she visited the Chief's house and the house she has restored the land. The crops growing in the Chief's house were full grown and have been used already, whilst the others are still sprouting.

After Athena visited the different house, she went to check on how Tycho and the others were doing.

"Tycho." Athena yelled. seeing the man on top of the roof.

Tycho was surprised to hear Athena's voice, it has been awhile since she moved to the manor and been resting which means they haven't seen her for awhile. "Athena, you're here... Where is Serfred? Does he know you here?"

Athena expression said it all, she smiled as she felt guilty and forgotten to inform Serfred of her current whereabouts.

"He's gonna yell at you again. Why must you worry him all the time, it's best you head home soon..."

"I will, I just came to check how you're doing?" Athena smiled assuring the man of her true intention.

"No worries, hopefully before winter will be able to restore all the houses. Since Lirirus was kind enough to heal everyone."

Thanks to Lirius everyone was able to help out. He not only healed those who can work but even taken care of the elders of the village.

"What are you doing here?"

Athena was surprised to hear the familiar voice. As she turned around to face him, she gave him a beaming smile. "Lirius, are you heading home?"

Lirius sighed in disbelief of how ridiculous the girl can be. He can already imagine how Serfred would react when they get home. "Come on, let's head home before he'll go on a rampage again."

"Lirius is right, you better head home Tina." Tycho laughed heading Lirius remarks.

"Tycho, I'll be going then. Tell Diana I came to visit." Athena then reached her hands as Lirius carried her.

Seeing Athena being carried by Serfred of Lirius is something normal for everyone in the village since they found out she was badly poisoned and has affected her body.

"Lirius, how are the elders?" Athena asked whilst she rests her head on the man's chest.

"They are doing better than you. Did you drink the potion I made you today?" He asked

"I did, I don't feel anything different in my aura." She sighed depress of the thought she is not getting better.

"Don't worry, just get some rest." Lirius looked at the girl in his arms who was yawning.

Athena drifted off to sleep in the man's arms as the two of them headed home.
