Beyond The World Plan

Today is the same day like yesterday. I woke up in the morning earlier than anyone else in the forest, even the sun hasn't rise yet. Taking my bow, I went outside the village with my friends to secure the food. In this forest is rare to see monsters. Normal animals that commonly can be found here. We split up in group of two to check every trap that we set faster.

I checked the trap that we set yesterday. Luckily for me, a rabbit was caught by our trap. Frown, a friend that with me is approaching the trap while me watching her back. We do not know when the danger will come so better being cautious rather than got killed.

"Woah, it's a big caught today, isn't it?" (Frown)

He can't hide her joy when she look the size of rabbit we caught.

"Hurry up and bring it here! I do not want to caught in a trouble."

"All right...just hang on a little more." (Frown)

Without a sweat he skillfully take the rabbit out and set the trap on again. He bound the rabbit on a stick and brought it on his hand.

"But still, living like this is quite hard." (Frown)

Letting a sigh out, he complaint about the situation we have right now.

"It can't be helped since we lost the war. Now we just can live in the remote forest and only can hide from them."

Around a hundred fifty years ago, there was a war between white elves and dark elves. We don't have any intention on making them our enemy. Rather than that, we only want to live peacefully each other. But starting few hundred years ago, there was a doctrine about white elves supremacy. It led the people that white elves are more superior than dark elves and reach the peak when they declare a war with the dark elves.

We losing the war because we out of number. Dark elves birthrate are far lower than white elves so we lack of manpower. The survivor from the war now only can hide from them without having any contact outside. Once our whereabout found out then we were forced to move.

Our position right now is near the border of human country. It's about time that the hero will be summon and until that time, we just can bear with this situation. We hope that the hero will help us once he/she meet us.

We get back at the meeting point not long after the sun rised. However, there are no one here except us.

"Seems like we come first." (Frown)

We waiting under a big tree. Time passed by but there is no sign they are coming.

"Where are they? Something is wrong, we must find the... Cecilya, what's wrong!?" (Frown)

His words cut out when she looks at me. My body feels hurt since a while ago and I try to bear it but right now I can't hide it anymore.

"Somehow...all of my body feels hot. I feels like I am being burned."

"Again? If you not feeling well then better you not get out from home. (Frown)

I have felt this several times before. Each time I feel it again, it become worse than before.

"Well, hang on I will carry you." (Frown)

He put me on his back while we walked to our hideout. He fasten his walk through the forest. We already near our hideout but something feels wrong. I can smell something being burned and smell of blood.

"Frown, hurry up! Something bad is happen with our hut."

"I know it. Hang on!" (Frown)

He raised his speed and finally we arrived at our hut but we are too late. The hut has been burned and some of dark elves are killed. The number of dead body is not much so I guess many of them has been escaped from here.

"It's the white elves, they've found us!" (Frown)

"Let's....get out from here..."

He nodded me and bit by bit we getting away from this place quietly. The pain I feel from before is not vanish yet so I still can't move my body too much. We are fleeing from the hut and looking for any trace where the other left.

We go through the forest aimlessly without found a clue where the others are. We decided to search our friend that went with us for checking the trap. Following the route where the traps are, we surprised because the only thing's left just a dead body.

"Are the white elves found them first!?" (Frown)

He can't hide his shock. He raised his voice and responding to it, I hear something from the bushes.

"Frown...I think we better..."

Before I finish my word, an arrow come from the bushes and hit Frown's leg.

"Aaargh!" (Frown)

He is kneeled down in respond of his wound that he just receive. Can't maintain my own balance, my body drop to the ground. I try to wake up and alongside with that, someone come out from the bushes. Looking at his appearance, it's humans. How can they got here in the first place. I search for my bow but seems like we left it under the tree while we were waiting for the others return.

"Look here, we found a couple of dark elves. What will we do to them?"

One of the man asking the others opinion. I can't fight back because I do not have my bow with me, also for some reason the pain that I thought were gone a long time ago is coming back. It make me useless for facing this situation.

"Well, you can see how lovely the girl is. I think we can make much money if we sell her."

"I think so too. For the man just kill him like the others."

Those are not a good human. They are what a human called as bandit. Taking money from someone and sometime forcing someone to be sold as a slave. This is already a bad day for me.

"Cecilya...please run away from here." (Frown)

Frown who just stand up while bearing his pain told me to run. I hope I can but my body won't listen to me. The pain is become worst because I fell before.

"Trying to be a hero for your lover,huh? How lovely...we will grant your wish then."

The man grab Frown's head to the front of me and cut off his head in front of my eyes. My body tremble looking at the scenery that I just look before. I blaming myself because I am not notice it earlier. Suddenly my hand is being pulled by a man and dragging me into their carriage. This pain.... If I not having this pain right now then I will not in this kind of situation.

I was put in a cage in their carriage and it begin began to move. I do not know where they will bring me and what will happen to me from now on. One of them use magic to made me using shackles as a prove that I am a slave. I do not know if situation will become worse than this.

Three days have been passed and my pain hasn't disappeared either. I think it become worse than before. A week....a month.....and it has no sign of disappearing. I continously tortured by the pain I felt. There are some places at my body that is now I can't feel. I am no longer counting how much time has passed since I caught by those bandits.

Finally we arrived in a city and the carriage went to the slums. They stopped in front of a house that I categorized as normal. They carried me into the house with my cage. They put me in the bas.e.m.e.nt where I can see many peoples is same like me, a slave. Looking at this I know that I has been sold at a slave shop.

Many time has passed and I cans ee my body gradually rotten alongside when my sense of pain become numb. There are several peoples that came here to bought a slave. Looking at their clothes, most of the buyer is nobles. When they look at me, they have a face that show they felt disgust to me.

I no longer have a place that I call home and there is no one that want me too. My appearance is no longer I know that was me and I already lost my hope. I do not care what will happen to me anymore. My world has been ruined and so has my life. I just want to die but my body not allowing me to die. I don't care about my life anymore. No one will save me. God, just cure me or let me die already...

***

Cecyl was having a hard time in her life. I can't search her memory too deep because I afraid about her condition. Just this much is enough for me to know the reason why she became like this. You said you have lost your hope but you still hoping someone to help you. Well, I will grant your wish.

Using every knowledge that I have gained, I take out a scroll and a pen with an ink from my [Dimensional Storage]. I imagining some floating board will appear in front of me that contain all of my knowledge and not long after that it appears like I want. With this I will not wasting my time to remembering something if I forgot. There is no magic that can help her so I need to make one. My eyes and mind quickly sort the magic I need to help her as a basis for a new magic that I will create.

After having much time lost on the sorting, I began to create the magic. Start from the incantation until the magic formation and the mana I need, everything must balance or it will be a disaster. Normally it will took much time to create a new magic now but since I have <Parallel Thought> with me, I can do it faster even I think faster than anyone.

A night almost past and the sun is almost rise. It's my shift again since I am sleep for a while to recover my mana and the clone took place of me. He made a good progress and it nearly finished. Only a little adjustment and the magic will be completed. Vi still asleep and Lily now take care of Cecyl.

After a while, the magic is complete. There is no time to take a trial so I must wake up Vi if I want to continue.

"Hey, Vi. Wake up. I need you right now."

Vi who probably disturbed her sleep woke up with half-heartedly.

"*Hoaaaam.* What's wrong Ray? It's still too morning to breakfast." (Violet)

"I need your help now. You already know what to do."

She rub her eyes before she finally wake up and take her position.

"I *haaam* ready." (Violet)

She not fully wake up yet, huh? I use a little magic to make her heat up.

"Cold! What is that!?" (Violet)

"Something to heat you up. Sorry but I don't want to make her suffer more longer."

I do not want to wait since I can't ignore her suffering. Holding it alone for a long time is quite hard even for me.

"Fine, I will forgive you this time. What do you need me to do?" (Violet)

With sulking she finally serious here.

"Just heal her like before but boost the regeneration when I give the signal. I do not know how long this will be. Also Lily, I want you to stand next to me. Watch her and me, if anything wrong just force stop my magic. You already know it, right?"

With nod, she walk to me.

"Yeah!" (Lily)

The preparation is complete. Now it all depends to me whether I can grant her wish or not.

"Just wait, I will grant one of your wish. Let's get started!"
