Chapter 73 - The Queen Of The Forest

>>Adam

All the pain, the agony, the discomfort and aching had somehow vanished.

I felt like I was floating in some soft comfortable slime and my injuries were hurting less and less followed by something cozy and healing.

It felt so good I never wanted to leave the place.

...

When I opened my eyes I had to blink several times to let them focus. I noticed an unfamiliar ceiling and then my eyes wandered to the most beautiful woman I had ever seen. She had pale skin, silvery white hair, green eyes and pointy ears. She looked majestic.

“Who…?” I couldn’t speak properly and my voice came out faint.

She turned her head towards me, “You’re up?” It was an unfamiliar face but she talked to me as if there was nothing unusual here. Perhaps I was dead. Well, considering my injuries, that wasn't a surprise.

But still, it was upsetting.

“Am I dead?” I asked knowing full well I couldn’t have survived.

“What do you think?” Her voice was so soothing I suddenly felt calm. How could someone’s voice have such an effect? This only means one thing.

“So I am.” I sat up feeling quite dejected but well, at least I was greeted by a beauty, “ “Why else would I be seeing such a beautiful woman as soon as I wake up?” I sighed, “So unrealistically pretty.” I looked around at the room.

“You’re not dead.” She spoke with a shy smile on her face and I looked at her in shock.

“I’m not dead?” I couldn’t believe what she was saying so I touched himself, “How is that possible?” I touched my face, “I don’t feel any pain at all.” This has to be a lie. Where could my injuries go just like that? “That’s not possible.”

I got up from the bed and took off the shirt and looked at my torso that was completely healed. That just made me more confused.

How just how?

I was in a strange state of panic so I took my pants off and looked at my legs.

All the scratches I got, the wound I had on my thigh, they were all gone.

The only thing there was were the scars I already had.

Nothing new.

I slowly raised my head to look at her ,“How? How are all my injuries gone?”

“I had you healed.”

“Healed?” I slowly traced my stomach where I was stabbed very badly with the enemy’s claws. It was the wound I was bleeding the most from but now. I stared at it intensely, there was nothing there.

“Where am I?” I asked, “If I’m not dead then where am I!?” This was getting overwhelming. The place seemed too foreign to me. Even the scent of air was different.

I was on death’s door. Maybe I’m being played with right now. Maybe-

My thoughts were disrupted by her answer.

“You’re in the magic realm.” Her answer left me so shocked I could only stare back at her wide-eyed.

“The magic realm?” I processed the information, “Ah… I see… That explains why you have pointy ears and white hair.” I relaxed a bit. That makes some sense. The magic realm… It didn’t even cross my mind because we have nothing to do with this place, “But then who are you?” I looked at her when I snapped out of my thoughts.

She wasn't very pleased by my inquiry as she folded her arms in defense and stared at me, “I’ll tell you if, you tell me.” She demanded, “Who are you? I know you’re not human.”

“Ah I-I’m a wolf.” Of course I’m not human. If this really is the magic realm,a human would never be able to enter. I wonder how I got in?, “A werewolf.” I told her and all of the sudden I saw a glint in her eyes.

She seemed excited all of a sudden and stood up, then looked at me.

“You know, you can wear your pants now at least.”

Her words brought me to the realization.

“Ah!” I realized I was almost naked in front of a woman I just met and got flustered, “Ah-this.” This was a bit embarrassing. Among wolves it’s different, we have a rule of courtesy but she was staring at me. I clumsily started wearing my pants, “I’m sorry.” What else can I say, I was the one who took my clothes off and flashed. Talk about embarrassing. Now I really want to die. I brought my pants up to my waist and looked at the floor, “Really sorry about this.”

“What’s your name?” She asked, “I’m Esra. The Queen of the enchanted forest.”

The Queen of the forest?

Whhhhhaattt?

Why is it one blast after another?

Was I really saved by THE Queen.

Oh wow.

“Ah-Adam.” I stated, “I’m Adam.” I told her while feeling a bit nervous.

That was it.

That was the start of the most lovely time in my life followed by the worst from where my whole life changed.
