CHAPTER 4

Early in the morning Elisa was at the Rainforest. Actually, Elisa didn't intend to come, but remembering Tiana's face yesterday, Elisa was finally here now.

Elisa looked around, there was no Tiana in sight. Not even the bridge of the nose is visible. Elisa sat leaning against a big tree while continuing to wait.

"Are you dating? Sorry, I had a little activity earlier." Tiana ran over to Elisa.

"Does not matter. You are the princess.” Elisa stood up and cleaned the clothes that were on the ground.

"Are you ready?" Tiana asked again.

Elisa was confused and asked, "for what?"

“Today we will look for ingredients to make a potion. I've got everything I need." Tiana showed a piece of paper with writing.

Elisa took it and read it. He knew very well that it contained the necessary ingredients. It's just that there is one ingredient that Elisa doesn't know about. Autumn leaves.

“Autumn leaves, I never knew this plant?” Elisa said returning the paper to Tiana."

“It's a vine, it's quite difficult to find it. But don't worry, all the ingredients are in this forest." Tiana smiled cheerfully.

“Are it just the two of us going?”

“I think Melany and the others are already inside. I saw him earlier in the forest." Tiana explained.

That means it's not just the two of them. Elisa is grateful about that. So if they encounter wild animals or rogues, at least they can both ask for help from others. Even though Elisa could actually paralyze the rogues with her strength. But Elisa also didn't dare to take risks. If anyone finds out that Elisa is a witch and wolf, then her life will be threatened.

In the Lotus Pack there cannot be a witch, even though Elisa only has half witch blood and half wolf blood.

"Come on, we have to hurry. At night, the rogurs will roam this black area. I don't want what happened last time to happen again."

Elisa was pulled by Kiana into the forest

“Are you serious about going in here? Why not just look for it in the store?” asked Elisa

"It's not complete there, Elisa, and you should know, Autumn plants cannot be taken carelessly out of this forest. Only in this place will the leaves remain alive, otherwise they will no longer be efficacious.”

Tiana took out a transparent box-shaped object. Elisa could see that the object was covered in magic.

"Where did you get that thing?" asked Elisa.

“The ancestor gave it.” Tiana said.

Elisa was curious about the tree. Where does the tree actually come from and what are its benefits? Maybe he could take it and plant it near his tree house later.

They kept walking and looking. Their eyes always look towards bushes or trees.

They had been searching all day, but there were still two ingredients that had not been found. Autumn trees and also Youtanpalo flowers.

Elisa knows the shape of Youtan Paluo's man, white in color. However, what makes them difficult to find is because they are very small, only one millimeter. The aroma of this flower is very strong and when it blooms it can be smelled for quite a long radius.

As for the autumn tree itself, Elisa doesn't know its shape. This is also the first time Elisa has heard of this tree.

"Have you ever seen an autumn tree?" asked Elisa who was still searching in the bushes and every tree.

If what Tiana said is true, the autumn tree spreads, then it is certain that the tree lives attached to its host.

“I think I've seen it in a herbal book.”

Elisa was surprised and looked at Tiana, "So you don't know what it looks like?"

Tiana just grinned. Meanwhile, Elisa exhaled roughly. Since then they have been looking for an object that they don't know what shape it is. No wonder they couldn't find it.

“But I once read that the leaves are coiled in a spiral shape. If you touch the leaves they will open and become straight. And the aroma is calming.” Tiana explained in detail.

Suddenly Elisa smelled a fragrance. Elisa knew very well the scent of the flower they were looking for. Without thinking about Tiana, Elisa immediately followed the scent.

After walking a few meters, Elisa found a beautiful waterfall. Below there is a small river which is very clear. The sound of water falling from a height calmed him. The air was so fresh, even though it was already late afternoon.

"Elisa, where are you!" Tiana shouted from a distance.

"I'm here!" answered Elisa shouting.

"Wow, I just found out that there is a place as beautiful as this." Tiana ran over to Elisa, then ran to wash her face in the small river.

“Elisa, the water is very fresh, try it!” invite Tiana. Tiana collected the water with both palms and then moved the water to her mouth.

Elisa followed what Tiana did. Sure enough, when the water wet her throat, a fresh feeling was present. His tired body felt fresh again.

The two of them played in the water and forgot their original goal. They laughed together without knowing that someone was watching them behind the large rock next to the waterfall.

"What's that?" Tiana pointed above the waterfall.

Elisa sharpened her vision to see what she thought was true. It looked like sparkling rocks moving around. Sure enough, after that Elisa looked for a way to get to the top of the waterfall.

Elisa deftly climbed the rock-filled incline. Tiana didn't want to lose, she ran fast like a wolf. Until finally they arrived at the waterfall.

“Elisa, that's a youtan flower!” Tiana screamed happily." Finally we found it.”

Tiana was so happy that she immediately hugged Elisa tightly until Elisa was in pain and had difficulty breathing.

"Tiana, let go..." Elisa groaned.

“oh, I'm sorry. I'm so happy that Isa got that flower."

Tiana immediately approached and pulled out several flower stalks. Likewise with Elisa. They put the flower in their bag.

“Shhh” Elisa put a finger to her lips.

Tiana immediately looked at Elisa and whispered, "What's wrong?"

"Looks like there's someone here. And I think he's been stalking us for quite some time."

Elisa immediately took the stone beside her feet. Hold the stone tightly. After that, she immediately threw the stone into the bushes next to Tiana.

"Ouch!" a girl screamed.

The girl's head came out of the bushes, her face looked very angry.

"What are you doing here Rania?" Tiana asked a little surprised.

“I fell behind the group and followed you two.”

"But why hide?"

Before Rania had time to answer, a growling sound emerged from behind the tree. Several rogues appeared with grins.

Elisa slenderly got into a stance. Meanwhile, Tiana and Rania moved closer to Elisa.

"You guys can do it, right?" Elisa asked to confirm.

“Yeah, I can kill one of them.” Tiana answered

“I-I don't dare fight him.” Rania's answer made Elisa sigh harshly.

"Then you just run. Tiana and I will distract the four of them.”

After seeing Rania nod in understanding, Elisa took out a small knife. A dagger that looks like a normal knife. But who would have thought that this object was made of silver and only Elisa knew it.

Elisa had put magic on the dagger so that no one could know where the dagger was made.

“Is this girl the one who killed your friends?” one of the Rogues asked his friend.

"Yes, right."

“You guys were defeated by this one weak Woman? unimaginable.”

Elisa realized that what they were talking about was her. He even dared to look at the flock with his sharp gaze.

"What do you want?" Tiana asked without fear.

"I want the night. And you are our dinner menu today." answered one of the rogues.

“You will get a delicious dinner if you can beat us. But remember, it won't be easy. So it's best to get out of here," continued Elisa.

"You're so arrogant, don't just because you killed some of my flock you can get away with it. It will not happen."

“Tch, then let's fight. I want to see who will be the winner," Elisa raised her chin arrogantly.
