Death... and me
chapter-1074

Rascal continued forward as Rean's group looked around. The Fairy Essence Pearl seemed to show the way to the area. One thing Rean's group saw was that there were a few demon beasts here and there. It wasn't that they weren't affected by the effect of the barrier, but instead, they didn't even know they were inside it.

Eventually, Rean felt some ripples of Light Element radiate from ahead. "Seems like we've arrived."

Suddenly, Rean's group finished passing through the barrier and arrived at the fairies' territory. It was a very colorful place. Life seemed to be prominent as all kinds of plants could be seen. It was a really beautiful place. However, Rean paid a lot more attention to the spots of light moving everywhere in that place. "Rascal, go down."

The Golden Rascol immediately landed, allowing Rean's group to come out. Following that, Rean raised his hand, showing that he had Sienna's Fairy Essence Pearl. Of course, Rean was the only person able to see the fairies.

"Hey, that an Essence Pearl!"

"Someone gave this guy an essence pearl."

"It must be something important."

"Or perhaps he forced it out of the fairy who created it."

Roan, Langara, and Fatax heard those voices coming from everywhere but couldn't tell where exactly. Nevertheless, it didn't take long for the fairies to reveal themselves as they gathered around Rean's group. Sometime later, a bigger fairy that seemed to be the leader of the group came to talk with them. "Why do you have Sienna's Fairy Essence Pearl?"

Rean smiled in response, saying, "I didn't do anything to her if that's what you're thinking. It was Sienna herself that asked me to come here. She couldn't do it herself since she was following the guy with the Fairy Queen's Blessing."

That bigger fairy then approached the pearl. Following that, it released some Divine Energy and Soul Power that seemed to interact with the pearl itself. Only then did it relax as he looked at Rean, saying, "Indeed, she left a message in Fae Language inside talking about you."

"Was there a message inside?" Rean's group was surprised to hear that.

The bigger fairy nodded, explaining, "Indeed. We can record our thoughts inside. In case someone forces the pearl to be made, the fairy can also leave a warning inside. It's impossible for anyone to tell what the message is other than other fairies. So even if the perpetrator knows of it, he wouldn't have a way to know whether the fairy did as he asked or not. Consider it a security measure for our Fairy Race."

Rean nodded after hearing that. "I'm glad to hear that. By the way, my name is Rean. The people beside me are Roan, Langara, and Fatax."

The bigger fairy also introduced itself. "Thicket Cedarthistle, that's my name. I do know about your brother, as he was mentioned in Sienna's message. However, why are there two more people? Not to mention that one of them has two souls."

Langara was shaken by Thicket's words. "You can tell that easily?"

Thicket snorted in response. "Hmph! It might have been difficult if you were in good condition. However, seeing how you're barely holding your soul together, even the most inexperienced fairies would notice it straight away. How did you even get to that point?"

Langara didn't waste time and immediately took out the Fallen Light Star Fragment from her Spatial Ring. Sure enough, all the Fairies below the Elemental Transformation Realm in the area focused on that as the abundance of Light Element made it the perfect material for their breakthrough. "Please, I beg the fairies' help. I'm willing to give this Fallen Light Star Fragment if you can find a way to deal with my Soul Problem."

Rean and Roan didn't intervene as Langara's issue seemed a lot more urgent.

Thicket had to admit the Fallen Light Star Fragment was a very good thing for the fairies. "Oh! It had been some time since I saw one of those." He then extended his hand, using his Divine Energy to capture the fragment and pull it into his hands. In Langara's hand, it fit pretty nicely. But it looked enormous when held by a small fairy like Thicket, and that was even considering he was bigger than the fairies around. "Hmm... it's also of nice quality. The Light Element stored inside seems ready for use at any time."

Thicket was already in the Elemental Transformation Realm, so the fragment didn't matter much for him. Nevertheless, it could be used by other fairies. Although there were many fairies around at the moment, the fact was that they were very rare. In the entire Yukirrom Region, this was basically the only territory they lived in. Any other place, one could at most find some vagrant fairies, but that was extremely unlikely.

In the end, Thicket nodded and told her, "Very well, I'll help you as long as it's something our methods can fix. I need to hear more about your condition, your race, and so on. Don't try to hide anything from me, as it could severely impact the end result. Souls are a very delicate thing, after all."

Langara and Fatax were ecstatic to hear that. It went a lot smoother than they thought. Of course, they also understood that it had a lot to do with Rean's Fairy Essence Pearl.

Langara then said, "Thank you. Not only am I grateful, but I'll also owe the fairies a favor. This Fallen Light Fragment isn't near enough to express my gratitude in case I can be saved."

Thicket simply waved his hand as he put the fragment away. "Bring this girl and the guy to my place."

"Alright! I'll take them there." One of the faeries immediately accepted the task.

Following that, Thicket looked at Rean and Roan before he began to use the fairies' ability to see karma threads. "Seems like Sienna wasn't lying. There really is a connection between you two and one of our faeries here. That girl Langara can wait. Come with me. We will follow this thread to see which fairy it is."
