Chapter 20: Where Are They ?!
`` Are you sure you think that was the right decision? `` asked Teiga's inner voice the next morning.
I do not know what you mean. Everything goes great when we do it that way. He lives on as a demon, I keep traveling the area and everyone is happy.
`` Do you really think it makes you happy if you never see him again? ``
Yes it does. This is the only way I can ... really be free.
`` I don't understand correctly. You're so free too. ''
No, if Sky stays with me, maybe this thing will grow to be more. Love means addiction. Besides, love is just a word anyway. People always say that love is something incredibly important, but that's not true at all. You don't need that feeling, it's absolutely unnecessary!
She got no answer, which was fine with her. The four of them continued their journey tired. This time they even knew where to go: Leilani had reported that she had seen some demons on the way to Alex's town in the mountains.They now suspected that Lenya was hiding somewhere there too.
“You already know where the mountains are, don't you? “, Yuna asked her companion worried. "Yes! For the first time in my life I know where to go! Alex gave me a map where everything is exactly marked! Here, ”replied Teiga, holding a self-drawn card under her nose, which was incredibly precise. “You see, here we are! According to the map, it only takes a few hours to reach the Schwerter Mountains! "Added the half-demon happily. Se was totally lost when it came to finding the right path himself. But she was a gifted specialist when it came to reading cards. The stupid thing was, most of the complete world maps that still existed were in the hands of the demons. "Want to fight! Want to fight! Want to fight! ", Teiga exclaimed excitedly and hopped around in circles.As a result, however, she was again somewhat hampered by her dress. “How much longer do you want to wear this thing? ", Kenji asked shaking his head and his sister replied:" I have nothing else! We left so quickly that I didn't even have time to move! "
Kenji pulled out Teiga`s old clothes with a smile. He had feared that she would have difficulty moving in a dress and had therefore taken her with her as a precaution. Grinning broadly, his sister took the things from him and disappeared into the nearest bush to get changed.
When she was done, they continued on their way. The wedding dress had been kept by Yuna, but after a while the extra weight started to bother her. So it was just thrown onto the next meadow.

“Do you know what amazes me? ", Sky said when they had almost reached the top of the mountain. “There isn't a single guard here.Surely the demons expect an attack from us. So why is there no one here? ", He added and looked around for some demons, but didn't find any. “You are right, that is unusual. They're definitely planning something, ”said Teiga, listening for any unusual noises. But she didn't notice anything in the area either. For fear of an ambush, the group of four deliberately moved more slowly, but no enemies appeared. “Can't be. Are we wrong about the place? I don't see any cave in which to hide ... ", Yuna said and looked at the map. “Can't be! Lenya must be here somewhere ...! “, Replied Teiga and looked around hastily. "Hey, up there! "
Close by, she spotted a head of black hair, but it immediately disappeared behind a stone when he noticed that it had been recognized. She jumped up to the spot quickly, but when they finally got there there was nothing left.“That doesn't work. I'm sure he was here ... ", she assured her friends, who, however, didn't believe her. "How about we break up for today? By searching, I mean, ”suggested Kenji and everyone except Teiga agreed. “It doesn't work! We have to go on, otherwise the demons will escape us! She exclaimed excitedly. The others tried to explain to her that it was pointless, but she didn't want to hear. In the end, however, she gave up because her friends threatened to leave her alone on the mountain. So disappointed they started the descent.
“We'll have to continue tomorrow morning, won't we? That didn't bring anything today, "said Sky sullenly. He didn't like hunting demons. He would rather fight. “We have no other choice. Although I'd really like to stop completely ... ", answered Kenji, who led the group (they hadn't even thought Teiga could find a mountain, so she was last)."Yes. It's really boring, "added Yuna. “Let's just go back to town. We say 'I'm sorry, we didn't find you' and then they'll do this for us. "
"I like this idea. So we do it! ", Kenji said firmly. Sky suddenly remembered something. “You haven't said anything in the whole time, Teiga. Are you still mad? “, He asked and glanced over his shoulder, but Teiga was no longer to be seen. There was a large hole in the ground where she had just been standing.

So, done. I really tried hard to get where! It wasn't voluntary (I've had several death threats, but it doesn't matter). That’s definitely the result. I dedicate the whole story (because I don't feel like writing that before each chapter) to everyone who knows it. Especially DarkJeanne, without whom I would not have even started to write and who is now forcing me to continue.Just like me!
