The Special Mentor Chapter 12

"Ravine? I think I have heard of it . . . " I finally broke the silence, meeting Miceter's gaze . " . . . yes, actually I have . It's a very nice place with wonderful people . The first time I visited Ravine was when I was a young kitten . Ravine has engraved itself into my heart . Especially the gorgeous waterfall you could see if you went further South, towards Gordan's Kingdom, if I remember correctly . "

"Oh, are you talking about Faerie's Cove?!" Miceter's tiny eyes immediately lit up, filled with happiness and a sense of pride . "That's my favorite place too! The waterfall is not too big and not to loud; the water is as clear as glass . The fish that swim within are quaint but gorgeous nonetheless . And the flowers! They frame the perimeter of the waterfall and the river that it makes . They almost look like gems!"

"They're red, green, yellow . . . " I listed a variety of colors that described the flowers .

"Violet, magenta, blue and other enchanting colors!" Miceter excitedly continued for me .

I smiled . "The Faeries I met were particularly kind . Have you met them? Or did they go North after the war between Gordan's Kingdom and the Prosperous Kingdom?"

AdvertisementMiceter excitedly nodded his head . "They're still there! Definitely! Last time I went to Faerie's Cove, they gave me a piece of Jewel Fruit!"

"That's wonderful to hear . " I smiled before emitting a great yawn, covering my mouth with a delicate paw . Then I laid down on the ground, resting my head on my paws . "I think it's about time that we go to bed . It's been a terribly long day for the both of us . "

Miceter stopped, seeming to remember something before letting out a small yawn . His eyelids began to droop as he began to blink tiredly . "Yeah, you're right . " After what seemed to be a moment of consideration, Miceter finally summoned up his courage to ask: "Mister, do you mind if I sleep with you tonight? The nights have been getting colder, you see, because Winter is coming . And since, you know, I'm small and don't have a lot of fur like you do, I get cold easily . "

"Sure . " I closed my eyes to make it seem like I was about to doze off .

Miceter, after receiving my confirmation, crawled his way underneath my stomach, leaving his small head to poke out .

"Good night, Mister . "

"Night . "

I finally opened my eyes again after Miceter fell asleep .

I do have to admit, I feel a bit guilty lying to Miceter about Faerie's Cove . But, even though I have never personally seen the place and met it's people, judging by how Miceter reacted, I guess I could make a safe assumption that the place is not that bad .

So, here's my plan for the next few days:

1 . Gain Miceter's trust .

How do I accomplish this? I find things that Miceter likes and make it seem like I know and appreciate the same things he does . This will not only deepen our connection, but also the amount of trust Miceter has towards me . Despicable, I know, but it's for Miceter's sake!

2 . Find Zed .

Like I previously mentioned, I have to let Miceter go before I get too emotionally attached . Also, Zed is more capable compared to me when it comes to security .

3 . Find and Follow Thomas Hark .

After I have dealt with Miceter's matter, I will have to search the whole of Prosperous Kingdom so I can accomplish the task the System gave me . However, I will try my best in my teachings so that the end of the world does not happen .

So that's my plan!

Hopefully it all works out . . .

Oh crap, my thoughts are becoming a bit pessimistic . . .

QUICK! LOOK AT THE SKY!

I jerked my head up, searching for something to distract myself . What met my urgent gaze was a sight I would never forget for the rest of my life .

Two gorgeous moons laid in the night sky like creamy pearls on a black silk cushion . The stars twinkled in the sky, not in any way inferior compared to the moon . The stars emitted a soft white light that filled the heart with a special type of comfort and warmth . I couldn't help but feel a sense of awe as I stared at the night sky .

For my first night in the world of Forgoe, it was enchanting and inviting . Deep down, in my heart, I knew that everything would be alright .
