Chapter 199: Guardian of the Fairies

Pov Dora (Shadow Fairy): 

I've been flying through this town for the past two days, I've looked at almost every corner of this town but I can't find anything, I feel like there's something here, but it's hidden somehow. 

Luckily there aren't many Fairy Contractors in this town and not many people with skills to see me, but there are still a few dozen of them, if it was in an Elven city half the population could see me. 

During one of the nights when I was thinking about going back to Jana and saying I hadn't found anything again, I suddenly feel a very powerful presence drawing me in, but I don't know where it is as it seems to be under some kind of concealment, so I decide to enjoy it. this opportunity to take a fresh look at the city. 

After some time I see the Fairy Infants that used to fly through the city as well as me all going in the same direction, I didn't feel anything from that direction, but I know that Fairy Infants are very sensitive to energies and Auras due to not having a mind or auras yet. body, being made of the pure concentration of energy and instinct. 

When I followed the Fairy Infants I also saw some Spirit Infants go in the same direction, then I checked into a strange mansion covered in black mist. 

When I approached this mansion I could feel the pure power of the Dark element that is superior to my shadow element, I also realized the barrier that covers the entire mansion, this must be the reason I couldn't find this place until now. 

I get even closer and feel that the barrier is damaged in some parts, but it is slowly repairing itself, I also notice that the barrier does not block the entrance, this barrier is just to hide it, that's good as I can get in without any problems. , seeing as the Fairy Infants get into this place I know it won't be an enemy that will be inside, I also need to talk to whoever is there to be able to bring Jana here without her being considered an enemy since I don't know what the people in this mansion are. feel about the Ghouls. 

As soon as I cross the barrier and enter I feel surprised, comfortable, and instantly safe, the strong dark energy in this place is strengthening me and healing my tiredness from spending so much time looking around the city, this place is very nice and I see many Fairy Infants flying around. everywhere, that's when I realized what this place was. 

"This is a Cradle of Fairies!"  (I) 

"What kind of crazy fairy makes a Cradle of Fairies in the middle of a city!?"  (I) 

While I was in shock from the disbelief of what I was seeing, I noticed too late the multicolored light that was leaving the mansion and coming straight towards me. 

At first, I thought it was an attack, so I got into combat position to defend myself, but the light stopped in front of me and I could see it was a strange fairy, she was humanoid with different colored eyes, red hair with a streak of a one side being black and a lock on the other side being white, her skin was brown and she had four arms. 

What surprised me the most were her wings that had seven different colors and I felt the energy from seven different elements coming from her, her presence mixes with the environment of the Cradle of the Fairies which shows that she was the one who created this place. 

"Hello, this is the first time a normal fairy has arrived here, it's also strange that the Infant Fairies are coming in like that."  (strange fairy) 

While I was surprised by this strange Fairy I realized that it wasn't she or this Cradle of Fairies that was emitting the presence that made me comfortable and safe, the place I felt this presence was inside the mansion and now I could understand that this presence comfortable feeling was coming from someone's Aura. 

"My name is Layla and I live here, what's her name?"  (Layla) 

"My name is Dora, I am a Shadow Fairy."  (I) 

"You can make yourself comfortable here, just don't disturb the master, he's unconscious at the moment, but the others have already taken care of him and taken him to bed."  (Layla) 

"Your master? Is that comfortable and powerful Aura I'm feeling his?"  (I) 

"Yes, the master is very dear to Fairies and Spirits."  (Layla) 

"..." (I) 

This weird fairy named Layla is very friendly, but now I know what Jana and I came looking for, she was this Fairy's master, I can feel a strong, chaotic, authoritative presence coming from this Aura, that's what the Keeper sent us to look for. 

"Did you build this Cradle of Fairies? Why did you build it in the middle of a city?"  (I) 

"Cradle of Fairies?"  (Layla) 

"..." (Layla) 

Layla has a confused face for a few seconds and then seems to remember something and her face turns pale. 

"Would you believe me if I said I did this by accident?"  (Layla) 

"By accident..." (I) 

"(How does someone build such a large Faerie Cradle by accident? What kind of craziness is this weird Fairy talking!!?)" (I) 

It's no use continuing on this subject, even if I'm surprised by this Cradle of Fairies and this strange Fairy, that's not why Jana and I are here. 

"Actually I was wanting to find your master, is that possible?"  (I) 

"Of course, but that can't be right now, the master had a little problem while helping a new mate just now, so it's just going to have to wait until he's awake."  (Layla) 

"When will this be?"  (I) 

"Something similar happened when the master helped me, that time he was unconscious for three days, so if you come back in a week it would be better as this time his condition was much worse."  (Layla) 

"One week..." (I) 

"(Every second counts for us, but we can't do anything if he isn't awake to hear us either.)" (I) 

"I can bring my master here with me in a week so is she a Demi?"  (I) 

"No problem, the master doesn't care about the race of others, I'll let him know of your visit when he's awake."  (Layla) 

While talking to Layla strange lightning and shadow flew from the mansion towards us, when they arrived I could see it was a spirit and a dangerous monster called the Cursed Raven, so I got into combat position ready to attack if necessary, but Layla waved her hands to stop me. 

"Take it easy, they are my friends."  (Layla) 

"What are you doing out here at this time Layla, who is this Fairy?"  (Spirit) 

"She's a Byakko guest, and she doesn't need to worry as the master is fine now."  (Layla) 

Sigh 

"You are very carefree about your own master."  (Byakko) 

"That's because I can feel his condition from our connection, he's been recovering very fast this time, so I know he's fine."  (Layla) 

As they spoke I could see the Cursed Raven flying around calmly, it doesn't look like it will attack happily, the Spirits and Fairy Infants around don't seem to be afraid of it either which is weird considering they are usually the food of this kind of spectral monster. 

"Try not to take too long, we're having trouble holding Diana and consoling Caryna who is still crying from seeing Zenos like that, so come back soon."  (Byakko) 

"Let's go back, Yomi."  (Byakko) 

The Spirit by the name of Byakko flies back to the mansion with the Cursed Raven which seems to have the name of Yomi. 

"They don't understand how strong the master is, they worry too much, but I think it would be good to comfort Caryna, she was so shocked by what she saw."  (Layla) 

"Looks like you guys are busy so I'll be back in a week with my master, alright?"  (I) 

"Of course, make yourself comfortable."  (Layla) 

After saying that Layla flies back to the mansion, this place and these people are weird, I'll go back and let Jana know, from what I could feel about this Arua I already know who Layla's master is. 

"A Guardian of the Fairies..." (I)

Zenos Pov: 

I spent some time talking to Vanessa at night outside the mansion, I told her I didn't care what she called me, so she decided to follow Vampire traditions and culture calling me Dad just like Irina and Irius. 

When we were thinking about going back inside the mansion I saw Layla flying up to me and landing on my shoulder. 

"What was it Layla?"  (I) 

"I almost forgot to tell the master something."  (Layla) 

"What happened yesterday did some damage to the concealment barrier, but I already fixed it."  (Layla) 

"Now that you say it, I really think the number of Fairies and Child Spirits has increased, good job fixing the barrier without my asking."  (I) 

"Another thing that happened is that we had a visitor yesterday while the others took care of you."  (Layla) 

"A visit? Who was it?"  (I) 

"It was a Shadow Fairy, I talked to her a bit and she seems to be someone friendly, she asked if she could talk to you, but I said I was unconscious and asked to come back in a week as I didn't know when you would wake up."  (Layla) 

"She said she also has a master Demi and asked if she could come with her, I said I could, okay?"  (Layla) 

"That's fine with me, but as it's been a day, it will be in six days."  (I) 

"I don't think it's a problem."  (I) 

"I wonder what they want to talk to you about, Dad?"  (Vanessa) 

"We'll know when they arrive."  (I)
