The Guardians of The Forests

They kept moving forward through the forest, they shouldn't provoke the creature, the creature still scouting them from behind the bushes or trees. Times went on before Jicks finnally felt threatened by the presence of the creature.

"What?" The man stared at Jicks that growled viciously. "The Guardians." Jicks stared at the direction where the creature(s) were, Lily was confused, she couldn't even sense the creature, and now this time her pet was literally got angry to a tree, I mean trees.

The creature was like a living tree, it was 3 meters tall, it was big, massive, several branches grow over them, their root hand was slender and stretch towards them, around 1 meter.

The creature(s) were just standing there, the only problems that made Jicks felt threatened was the number it increased, nobody realized the creature(s) never scout them, they were watching them all the time from behind the forest, the number get increased since the first time they met one, that one creature called his friends. They walked slowly toward Jicks as they became a horde of monsters gathering around.

"I've seen this creature before, but not in real life. they're one of the best elementals." The man standed in front of the giant creature, it looks like he was talking to a tree.

"Necromancer were forbidden in this forest." The elementals growled and stare at Lily. The elementals were big, their slender hands smack the ground causing a temporal earthquake. They were elemental horrors, borned to serve the nature.

"These creatures were dangerous, they're even more dangerous than druids." Lily and Jicks only stared at the elementals while the man keep explaining about these creatures.

Druids were creatures that were borned in nature and helped them, they were immortal as long as they had their power, the source of power is the nature. They were usually called as nature it self, they were borned from the cause of nature. They were united with nature, the nature gave them power to recreate mana and lifesource around the nature, it could gave life also it could gave curse. Druids were dangerous for their curses, their curses, even though it wasn't dangerous physically, it tortured your psycology. Some druids could make your face dissappeared, she was the Lady of faces from the myth, she lived at nowhere, no one knows where she was, no one even know if she was still live or not, or she was still in this universe or not. The point is the myth was still foggy. Some druids could also be elementals, their power could give them the power of elementals, usually if the druids have a bigger nature, they would have bigger power.

These creatures were elemental horror, their scary appearence and destructive power. Even though they can't use magics, they have an enormous physical power, like giants, but giants were already extinct in the overworld, they were moved to the Gods world.

....

They were inspecting each other, they went silent including Jicks and Lily. "You're a human, why did you follow this necromancer?" One of the elementals bend over, looked at the man closer.

"Cause she's also a human, she is save, she won't destroy and harmed any soul. She's even better than the humans that keep exploiting your home. She was actually the person that saved some forests from being harmed by the humans, lastly from all, I'm-not-a-human." The elementals looked at the man, the elementals could see whether people is lying or not, they're the experts.

"I see, yeah, you're not a human.... Sorry... May I... Back to our normal ruitines, bye fellow... elementals." The creature said in polite tone, polite like a butler to his master.

The elementals only moved, their trunks started to grow leaves, they dissappeared to the green wild leaves with brown tree trunks, leaving Lily and the others undisturbed.

"Elementals?" Lily stared at the man furiously. The man answered, "I know, I never told you, at least you know it right?"

"What are those?" Lily started talking as she hopped to Jicks's back.

"Vorstclaw, elementals, those were dangerous, don't you ever dare to disturb them, Hog, I can hear you. Yorvo, I know you're there." The man stared at a medium sized tree, Jicks also sensed a big mana presence, but he couldn't tell where it came from.

The medium sized tree changed to a man that turned his skin from brown to white, on his skin an slim iron plate wrapped half of his body, His face was a horrible monstrosity like the face of the demon dragon before some sort of iron small cage that came from his head closed his face. Horns came out from his head, iron horns, with gloss silver colors. His iron claws growed like werewolves' claws. This creature was actually a demon, but at the same time he was different from demon, his race was the different.

"I just need to rest, give me a break. Controlling a new tribe from the ground was really hard, and... they're sooooo dumb." For 1 minute straight Hog complained before you would notice that his skin changed from a complete white pale like a dracula, to a grey skin with spikes in it, with many ignited mark could be seen spread on his skin.

"Who's Yorvo?" Lily asked as she looked at Hog. "It's me ma'am. Hog and Yorvo was the same name." Hog said, he doesn't know what that means but he just said it, which confused Lily.

"Hog, we need to move." The man cut Hog's sentences making him stop complaining, "Ok" They started walking toward a massive Kingdom that has a big castle that could be seen from a far, The Roulander Kingdom.

_________________________________________________

Meanwhile, at the same time, in that morning, Ren and Blask were still at the merchants village. The village was so hot, no air-conditioner, no ventilator, no fan, the sun burned everything like a toaster and it makes Blask easily get angry, he was in a bad mood, his blood boils with anger that he doesn't know where it came from. Blask was waiting for the auction that happened for 2 days already, Ren was meditating in his rented house, trying his new magic, red magic. Just another usual day for normal people from the village.

Well, it was all normal before Ren started burning the house with red mana. It was quite a disaster, the house wasn't usable, the roof has too many holes to be fixed. No doors, windows, and furnitures, all burned up.

Ren found it exciting, but not too exciting that Blask would probably got pissed. The nearby people were running back and forth, bringing a bucket of water, stoping the flames so it doesn't spread to another houses, it would take only several hours to put out the fire, with the help of Ren, Ren cast big blowing wind with blue mana, which makes the fire gets bigger....

It would be hard to find a water. If you want, there're sewers, and its disgusting, and only a little water present. There's a well, but it was far away from the burning house. Even if Ren could have a bigger manapool, and stronger physical power, the water would have been evaporated by the hot sunlight.

What about the bucket of water? It was the same, Ren hasn't learned on how to duplicate or multiplied the water. And so Ren only follows the other people to sprayed the bucket of water towards the fire, not for long until he accidentally throws the bucket to the fire, Ren could take it but he was lazy to. He tried to get inside the fire, it was hotter that the boiling water Blask sprayed to wake him up, for sure. However he got stuck inside the wrecked house.

.....

Blask wasn't disturbed by the burning house, he only ignored it, he was far from it anyway. What he was thinking is finding a way to not getting bored, he shouldn't have been sleepy, but he is... He can't sleep anyway, he bored to live inside this pathetic and boring world, at least pathetic wasn't really boring, but this.... this was boring.....

No excitement, no challenge, boring.....

2 hours of boring time, Blask was travelling around the villages, it wasn't really bad as what Blask thought it would be. There're a lot of goodies, not really useful for him though, but still they're quite interesting to see. Just in case, after this world was realesed from an unending war of Gods, the people were living in peace with the Gods, and the people just don't care about things that were left from the war, this makes them couldn't looked the difference between a legendary goodies and common goodies.

________________________________________________

An empty, hollow world. No place to stand, the place was completely empty, no sign of life, no sign of air. An empty world, filled with darkness, without light, without time. Just an empty space.

But here we are, seeing two gentlemen, talking with each other, floating above the abyss of an empty place.

'Where are you, its 6th days already...' A man started the conversation, he was a man that had black hair, black dark blue sky colored cloak complete with its hood. His silhouette eyes glowed with dark blue like the ocean, deep and sharp.

'I don't know why.... But 'she'... And I ended up at this place...' The other man answered with calm but annoyed behavior. He also had a dark silhouette eyes, same as the first man, he also had the same fashion of cloak and hood, but this one was velvet, dark red colored. He had the same dark silhouette eyes, but also in different color, these were burning dark red flame.

"Where?" The man started focusing his thoughts, we could see his dark silhouette eyes got sharper.

"I'm going to the Roulander Kingdom, to meet, her.... The... Witch...." The man lowered his head, looking at the hollow and empty floor he hesitated and sighed.

"Why there, this world is big enough but why there, and her?" The first man shrugged his shoulders. Then he asked another question, "Is she still there? At the Kingdom? Have you entered it already?"

"No not yet, probably she was still there, meditating... Anyway Blask.... What about Ren?" We couldn't see the second man face as clear as Blask's silhouette face, but we could see him smiling.

"Nah... I don't know... He probably noticed it... I mean him...." The second man stopped smiling when he heard the first man answered, but he ended up accepting it.

This story would get confusing, so tell me if there're something wrong or confusing at the story... Thanks.
