There was a woman sitting—more like meditating inside that wooden hut.
The bare minimum amount of light coming inside that hut made her visible.
That guy asked, "Who are you? "
She slowly opened her eyes and the light slowly made her more visible.
Before she could even say a thing, that guy recognised her somehow.
He said, "Oh hell nah. "
She said, "So here you are, Alice Godwin. "
That guy said, "I am sorry but it's not 'Godwin' but 'Lusifer' "
She stood up and said, "That devil's name doesn't match you at all. "
Alice said, "See, I know you have come here to search me in behalf of my brother, but I have no reason to listen to you, and you know what, I am out. "
Right after finishing his sentence, he jumped out of the hut and got ready to run but before he could even take a step ahead, that woman started walking towards him and said, "Are you sure about that, the son of car-"
Alice moved his neck a bit towards her and looked at her from the corner of his right eye and said, "Shut your mouth. Woman. "
Her whole body became visible from the setting sun's light. Her hairs were pure black and they were tied in ponytail with few strands falling over her forehead. Her face was very clear, no scar, no pimple or anything. Her eyes were black as well and her skin was bright. Her pink lips showed a smile, very annoying to Alice.
She hold a Katana in her right hand.
She was dressed in a grey outfit that looked both strong and beautiful. Her top was tight and fitted, made of thick cloth that helped her move easily but also kept her safe. Under it, she wore a soft shirt with a high neck to protect her from the cold wind.
Around her waist, she had a wide brown leather belt with small pouches and metal buckles hanging from it. Below that, she wore a short layered skirt made of pale fur and cloth, a little rough at the edges. Her pants were also grey, close-fitting and comfortable for walking or fighting.
Her boots were tall and brown, tied with leather straps that wrapped around her legs. She also wore brown gloves that looked a bit worn from use.
Over everything, she had a long grey cloak that reached almost to the ground. The cloak had a soft white fur collar that covered her shoulders and neck, keeping her warm.
Her curves could be seen in that dress.
Her smile was really annoying to Alice.
She said with that annoying smile of her, "My my, I wonder what you will do if I trash talk about your father? "
Alice turned around towards her and said, "You can try and see yourself if you want. "
Her katana was really beautiful. It's grip was of dark purplish color with the guard being circular but with 3 cuts dividing the guard into 3 semi-circle and it was of brown-yellowish color.
The sheath of the katana was of same color as the grip.
That woman smiled more and said, "Well, I have no reason to trash talk about your father. Now if you'll do me a favor and return to your home with me, I'll really appreciate it. "
Alice smiled a little and asked, "I suppose you are assuming 'Yes' from me, aren't you? "
That woman said, "Indeed."
Alice said with that same smile, "Well then, I refuse. "
But for some reason, she just started laughing.
She said with the laugh, "You know want, I am just gonna kill you here and report back that I found you dead in a forest. "
And with that she just dashed without a warning towards Alice and unsheathed her sword with a rapid swing towards her.
Her katana's blade was so beautiful that it left Alice speachless for a second. It was of light purple color with rhombus shaped pattern after every 5 cm of dark purplish color. At the edge of the blade, there was a gradient of dark blue color which was very light to see.
Alice dodged that striked by taking a step back. It was all possible because of his rapid reflex.
She took another step forward, took a full 360 degree rotation and used it to swing her katana in that motion with more speed to cut his head off.
But Alice, he used his own blade to block that strike.
The impact was so hard that the reaction of it made that woman go back 2 steps and Alice used that moment to turn around and run again.
That woman looked at him running and shouted, "Oh, is that so? Are you that much afraid of me, are you that much weak, Alice Godwin! "
Alice stopped, turned around and said, "You are wrong. I don't do any violence against women. Goodbye. I hope I never meet you again, Roni He. "
She was really shocked to hear that name and asked, "How!? How do you know that name? "
Alice replied, "My brother once told me about you, and the name you go by. "
She was furious, really furious and ran towards him in full speed. Alice turned around again, ready to run but the moment he turned around, he saw that group of men left alive.
Those men looked at him and said, "We found you, finally. "
They were taking really deep breath—out of stamina and tired.
Alice said, "My luck, why does it sucks so much? "
Alice took a right turn in that forest, it was already really dark—anything ahead of a meter was barely visible.
Alice kept running until the sound behind him of those men and Roni He disappeared.
He stopped, looked behind and when he found no one behind him, he sat under a tree to catch his breath.
He started talking to himself in his mind, "Why does my past still trying to reach me. I am tired, really tired of running of it. "
It was really dark now, nothing was visible inside that forest now.
Alice slowly stood up and said to himself, "Well, first I gotta find a place to sleep and the next day, I will resume my search for the Knight's Camp. "
