Chapter 21: 21 : Teleportation Circle
Elias froze for a second and was about to turn around when Imaya's words stopped him in his tracks, "Don't turn around!" She ordered fiercely
"Hmph I knew you were just a boy"
"What does that even mean?"
"Who would have thought the Child of Light would be a pervert" She continued, ignoring his words
" I didn't come to spy on you. It was one of your men that directed me here, I was pressed and needed a place to ease myself" He said, his back remained turned to Imaya
"Liar, just admit it. Being the boy you are, you just came to spy on me"
Elias rolled his eyes, "Oh please, what is there to check out. You're a few years too early, and lacking in some crucial area to attract me" he said.
'Mentally, I am thirty-two years old, a seventeen-year-old girl, no matter how pretty she is, could not get a reaction from me. Besides, I like tall shapely girls with long legs and voluptuous chests, Imaya is lacking in all those aspects' he thought to himself
"Why you?! How dare you?! Do you know who I am?" She growled and clenched her fist, she charged toward Elias angrily.
Hearing Imaya's wet footsteps approaching him speedily, Elias became wary "Hey what are you trying to do?!" he asked nervously
Fwip!
The sound of skin sliding on wet wood sounded. In her charge against Elias, Imaya had slipped, her legs flew from under her and she flailed her hands as she tried to regain her balance. She slid across the wooden floorboard and with a startled yelp, she came crashing into the unaware Elias.
Crash! Thud! The sound of their bodies colliding resounded as they both tumbled to the floor in a heap
"Ugh" Elias groaned as he rubbed his ringing head
"Damn, is your scalp made of titani—" Elias' jaws dropped and his words were cut short as he witnessed what lay in front of him.
In front of Elias was Imaya, she lay motionless on the wet wooden floor of the steamy bathhouse, her silky white skin glistening faintly under warm evening light seeping in through cracks in the ceiling
The damp air clung to her, emphasizing the gentle curves of her well-defined silhouette. Her moderately voluptuous behind added to her graceful form, the girl's silky white skin glistened with dewy droplets, accentuating her well-defined silhouette. Her modestly voluptuous curves became elegantly pronounced, even in repose.
All her sacred regions were laid bare for Elias to see, at that moment, Elias felt a new warmth travel down to his sacred region.
"What the hell?!" He exclaimed, turning away from Imaya, "Why am I getting excited over a girl that is fifteen years younger than I am…technically? Damn this hormone-ridden teenage body!" He said, clutching his member with both his hands, his face had taken on a bright shade of red.
He stood up and hurriedly walked toward the exit of the bathhouse before he stepped out completely, he couldn't resist taking a last glance at Imaya's naked form before finally leaving.
"I'm going to jail," He said nervously as he left the building
He made his way back to the first building where priest Mathias asked him to wait, on his way he met the villager who directed him to the bathhouse.
"Were you able to ease yourself?" The villager asked
"Fuck you" Elias replied and continued walking, leaving the villager puzzled
"Where have you been?" Mathias asked, as soon as Elias entered. Nigel and Anias were in the room, seated around the table, whilst Dickson fiddled with an object near a shelf
"I went to ease myself" he replied
"You had a bath?" Mathias asked
"No, I went to ease myself" Elias repeated
"Same thing," Mathias said
"No they're not" Elias insisted
"Yes, they are" Mathias remained unwavering
"Hey, you guys, what does easing one's self mean?" Elias asked the rest of the group
"Simple, it means having a bath" Dickson answered, while Nigel and Anias nodded in agreement.
"You have got to be kidding me, in what world does easing oneself mean having a bath," Elias said in frustration before soon realizing that he was in fact in another world, and easing yourself in Elaris meant having a bath.
"I give up, You win. I meant that I went to pee" He sighed in defeat
"You went to sleep?" Mathias raised an eyebrow
"You have got to be kidding me?" Elias said in disbelief
"Haha, just pulling your leg," Mathias said
"Very funny" Elias deadpanned
The group ended up waiting until nightfall before Imaya finally appeared. She burst into the room abruptly,
"Sorry for keeping you waiting, I was…" she cleared her throat, and glanced at Elias, and a faint shade of pink appeared on her cheek "...caught up in an unexpected situation. I am truly sorry" She continued
"Understandable, it's your last night here for a while. But now that you're here, we cannot waste any more time before leaving. It's for both our goods"
Imaya nodded and motioned for the group to follow her. She led them to a clearing at the far back of the village, in the clearing was a large stone disc with a large, complex magic circle inscribed on it, and the circumference of the circle was covered with runes all round.
"Stand in the middle of the circle" she instructed
"Barnack here is going to hold on to the key," she said, handing over a white crystal to the pitchfork-bearing villager, "we need someone to turn the key while we are all in the circle, and that's what he's here for" she added, as she also entered the circle
She nodded at Barnack, and he inserted the key in a fitting hole at the base of the disc where the magic circle doesn't cover. As he did so, the magic circle lit up with a bright light and a low thrumming sound followed and then suddenly, the group was covered in a translucent light barrier.
"Whatever you do, do not touch the barrier, except you wish to be torn apart by space and time" Mathias warned, Dickson and Nigel held on tight to each other.
"All that remains is for Barnack to turn the key and we'll be in Eldoria faster than you can blink" Imaya announced
Suddenly, Barnack jolts up to his feet and turns around as if he heard something, then everyone in the barrier perked up their ears too, they heard something. It sounded faint but they could recognize it, there was no doubt that the sound they heard was screaming, and it grew louder and louder until the source of the commotion appeared.
It was a demon, the same one that led the other demons to ransack their village. They had returned once again.
"No…" Imaya mouthed, "No!! Let me out!" She screamed
