Reborn In Altaes - Chapter 17 Short Journey

Nyra have a new friend again today! His name is Zane. He’s really smart and knows how to cook delicious breakfast. Also, Zane is younger than me! Nyra don’t know where he comes from, but when Nyra wakes up Zane is suddenly sleeping next to me. He says that Mr. Bear is actually Zane. Turning into a bear is actually his magic, Zane says. Even though, Mr. Bear is fluffy, when he’s little he’s so cute. Just look at Zane, his cheeks are so round when he’s eating.

Then, Mr. Zeke wakes up. He is also surprise as Nyra. I tell him that Mr. Bear is Zane and his eyes gets bigger. That’s so funny.

I already know that I can transform myself into a human once more, but I never thought of turning into my old child form. Well, for now this form is fine. At least, the kid likes it. Also, it seems that all my other forms are now combine into this new form. So, this little kid form is really condense and heavy.

“So, right now I’m a kid and now the plan to go to town is going to be a breeze,” I look up to Zara with a smile. I use a spare clothe from Nyra’s new travel bag. So, yeah I’m kinda only wearing an oversize dark blue t-shirt. The hem of the shirt even cover my knees.

“Look, Big Sis Zara!” Nyra comes up behind me and hugs me till my feet is off the ground. She could only smile while her eyebrows is twitching.

“Well, come on. Let’s have breakfast.”

After we pack up, I tell Zara and Zeke to say that I’m Nyra’s stepbrother when we arrive at town. They tell me that if we wanna do this, let them only do the talking to the town guards. I fully agree.

I turn back into my bear form and they get on top of me. Slowly, we’re tracking out off the jungle. I just realize this, that there are two moons in the sky. They can be seen clearly, even though it daytime. One reddish in color and small, and the other one is orange but, bigger.

“What’s their names?” I point up to the two moons. The twins and Nyra looks up.

“The bigger one is called Cantiran. The smaller one is Gealach. They always appear together and sometimes another smaller moon called Nalub would join in as well,” Zeke explains with vigor.

“Nyra, knows as well. Mom and Dad told Nyra once before that the three stars are a family and that the smallest moon is their child. The orange one is the father and red one is the mother. The smaller one would sometimes come visit the parents and…” Nyra stops and just looks down quitely. Zara immediately hugs her from behind.

“Alright, before we arrive at town, we’re gonna go through some farming areas in front of the town. So, Zane please change back to a kid,” everyone gets off my back and the bear form slowly changes to a little boy. I give a nod and immediately get into my oversize shirt. We continue our journey on foot with me holding Nyra’s hand in tow.

We are still in the forest, but slowly the tall trees starts getting sparse and more grassland appears. Until finally, a crude dirt path appears in front of us. Further away, we can see a small cottage surround by vast golden wheat fields stretching all the way to us. Even though, I’ve already seen and eaten breads at breakfast, I still can’t believe that wheat would still be a staple food in this new world. I guess bread is just universal.

We pass through many more farmlands and cottages. However, the farmers that we see sometimes on the fields are actually not humans. They look like Minotaurs. Having a wide muscular anthropoid body and head of a bull, these farmers are at least three meters tall. Also, I realize that there is also a slimmer version of these minotaurs. I think those are females, I mean with the huge bulge on their chest and having longer manes on their heads.

I wave over to the nearest Minotaur farmer. He smiles and waves back. Quite a peaceful place, comparing with what’s happening in the forest behind us. Moving on, passing all the farmlands, we arrive at a crossroad. A sign carve in grey stone slab is place nearby the dirt road.

“The nearest town is just straight ahead.”

“Petram?” The sign pointing forward says so.

“Yes, it’s a town ideal for us greenhorn Slayers. The nearest town to the Black Hovel Forest.”
