Hybrid

The sound of forest cry sadly echo in all corners of the woods. Stop Fray’s footsteps. Her head turn all around, listening, one of the magic creature that occupy the woods must had be kill, though her anger. A moment later the woods cry stop.

She has been running so far away. She almost arrived at the end of Ljósáflar’s woods. The sun already up high. The beams of light fell onto the western cliff. At that moment she saw that girl throw herself to the air. Flew in the emptiness and sliding down in the curl up position.

A loud crash sounded when she hit the ground. Frya immediately ran approach her. She wouldn’t make it, she tough. She look at the girl that lay down in the ground. Blood flow all around her. Next to her a fire tiger cub lay down not moving.

Frya look through her vital sighs. She still breathing. That girl move, she turned and look at Frya with her green eyes.

“Ouch…” the tiger cub bit her fingers. “Did she tied to you?” ask Frya in amaze, while waving her bleeding hand end then suck it, her wound heal slightly. She has heard it. The myth of fire tiger. One of magic creature that occupy Ar’chismaytopia.

“You have to let me save her,” whisper Frya. The cup growl. Frya bring her hands closer and the cub claws her, not let her came close to that girl.

“I’m sorry,” said her in the same time spelling sleeping spell to that cub. Her spell make the cub’s eyes start to shut, after the cub fallen Frya get back to check the girl.

Her smell like the outside world. But how can this girl came to this place. She have to hell her or life cannot be save.

Frya whistling and suddenly a unicorn came running toward her. As a Ljósaflar she has ability to charm all creatures to follow her order.

Frya put the cub on the girl body before scope her, and lift her easily as if she just as light as feather. She then jump to the back of the unicorn, use the unicorn hair as grip they galloping.

Sit down on the back of horse without saddle is also one of Ljósaflar’s natural skill. She didn’t afraid to fall down. Even when the unicorn galloping fast. The only place close enough that she can reach is the herbalist. She live in the edge of Reokwood forest. At the border of elf forest. She hope she is in her cabin, though Frya keeping singing the heeling song.

After galloping for a while before finally she saw the herbalist cabin. Frya slide down slightly, and run toward the cabin door with Rae resting quietly in her arms. But before she reach to the front door, the door swing open and a woman standing there.

She looks so young, but Frya know better that her ages is older than her, far older. She wear white dress, with her both hands wear a bangle that link trough a chain one each other like a prisoner, but Frya know better she is not. The chain is long enough for her to move freely, Frya don’t know the reason why that woman use it, and never ask her, and for the elves asking private matter is insolent.

“Frya, what happen?” ask that women giving way to Frya get in.

“I’m sorry to bother you early in the morning, but I need you help Kaltaria,” said Frya worryingly. She look at the girl in her arm, “she fall from the cliff, there is only you nearby to ask for help.”

“Of course, bring her in. lay her in the bed at first floor. I will prepare all the ingredient that needed,” said Kaltaria giving way to Frya. That women swiftly start moving to all around the room, the sound of chain jingling can be heard every times she move.

Frya carries that girl to the upstairs and lay her carefully on the bed of one of the room. That girl moan, she open her eyes for a moment before sinking into unconsciousness. She lift the cub from the top of the girl, and lay the cub in the floor underneath her.

A couple moment later Kaltaria came in with a tray full of herb and potions. She put it on the buffet table next to the bed, than begin to examine that girl.

“I don’t know, I never saw her before,” Frya step a back to give room to Kaltaria. She check the pulse. Then look at both her hands and feet looking for a wound.

“Not any single wound,” she mumbled astonished. “Help me remove her clothes,” said Kaltaria, begin to turn the girl body, Frya swiftly help her. Blood around the girl body still fresh, but all her wound somehow already heal. The both startled.

There is a pedal with Ar’chismaytopia symbol in her neck, a tree in cycle shape, with some animal around it.

“Do you think she’s part of kingdom of wizardry?” ask Kaltaria.

“I doubt it, can you smell it? Her smell like from the outsider?” said Frya.

Kaltaria sniff the air around the girl. “You right,” Kaltaria check the girl body slightly.

“Are you heal her?”

“No, I just singing a healing song to make her wound stop bleeding.”

She mumble some spell. After a moment “She is definitely not a human even when she hasn’t have any vibrant,” said Kaltaria, her words made Frya looked at the woman closely. She startled.

“What do you mean?” ask her.

“No trace of magic, a witch cannot heal herself this fast, they need consciousness to heal herself and healing spell,” Kaltaria begin to clean the girl’s wound.

“She tied to the Fire Cat maybe that’s what help her heal herself this fast.”

Kaltaria fell silent, looked at the sleeping cub in the carpet under the bed. There is only one way for a Fire Cat to be bound to other creature, the mother die near the other creature, then the mother Fire Cat would bound her cub to the nearest creature. “This cub might keep her alive. But won’t heal the wound this faster. Only elf and magic creatures that has the ability to heal them self, or …. dn hybrid…” add her slowly.

Just like her, add Frya in her thought finished Kaltaria sentence.

Kaltaria turn the girl’s body, she palpate the girl’s back try to locate the broken bones. “Look there’s no scratch at all, all her broken bones has connected. She must be passed because all her energy sucked to healing.”

“They’re joined in the wrong position. We have to break them again and relocated,” said Kaltaria in regret.

“But she doesn’t have eradiate any vibrant energy at all,” said Frya touched the girl’s hand.

“Someone or somebody must be block the vibrant. Maybe they want to hide her identity.”

“But why?”

“Only that girl who knows. I fill fix the broken bones it will take times. It’s will take times. But before I need strengthening potion, or she may exhausted from running energy while healing herself.”

Frya nodding. “Do you need my help?” she let go the girl’s hand that feel cold, just like other ordinary human without magic.

“Nae,” said Kaltaria. “I will be fine.”

“Then I will check the place where she fells. Maybe I will find something.” Kaltaria nod, and start working on the potion to strengthening the girl, then fix search 5her bone.

Frya exit from the cabin then begin to run go back to the place she found the girl.

***

Frya found blood scattered everywhere after tracing the girl track before fall, two death wizard’s bodies lied covered in blood. Their bodies ripped to shreds. Their shabby cloths almost unrecognized full of blood. They might know where the girl came from, but base on their smell Frya feel certain both of them are Ar’chismaytopia resident, there is no trace of outside world smell. She search their body meticulously to search if any evident. After she found nothing she starts sing spell of forward magic cast to revert the practiced magic in those area. Only common spell, killing spell, sleeping spell, nothing special, of course they cannot win the fight.

She must tiding this mess, before someone come and notice something happen here, and she has to bury those wizard’s body. After that she browse further and found a no man’s carriage. She let go the horses that pulled it, whispering some spell so they won’t go back to their master. Then she burn the carriage.

Afterwards she ran towards the nearest checkpoint to find out what the guards knew about the incident.

Her mind lingerie thought the hybrid in Kaltaria place, hybrid from the outside world, with energy radian masked. Who is that girl, that so bother her. They why her energy radian masked.

Kaltaria might right, someone want to hide the girl back ground. Maybe that girl who does it. She has to wait the girl conscious.
