Ball of Nothing - Chapter 73
Chapter 73
The direction that the sisters were heading to surprised Zero . Could the medicine man be the same man Truen told him not to meet? It was too much of a coincidence but Zero couldn't ask the sisters . He was still secretly following them after all .
He learnt that the snow-haired older sister was called Kayla . Zero felt that it was unfair for the girls to be punished for their mother's mistake . Their mother had died and the village chief was cruel on these girls . If this medicine man was truly such a scary person, asking the sisters to look for him is the same as sending them to their deaths like their mother . It made Zero slightly angry when he thought about it . However, he knew that the sisters were strong . Regardless, Mii had forbidden him from interfering with the Moontaur Tribe's matters . After all, that species wasn't very known for their generosity .
The sisters travelled fast . Zero had to teleport to keep up . Then again, it was difficult to travel in the trees . He soon got tired and rested for a while . Once the sisters were out of sight, Zero took out the whistle that Hades and Zeus gifted him . It would be the first time summoning Pegasus and he wasn't sure if Pegasus could follow the sisters while keeping him out of their sight . Zero decided to give it a try anyway . Pegasus was a smart horse, surely he could figure out something that Zero couldn't .
A few seconds after the whistle was blown, a magical portal opened beside Zero and a beautiful horse stepped out . Pegasus was as lovely as Zero remembered . He had a beautiful silver mane and turquoise wings . Its eyes were the same shade as its wings and the horse nuzzled Zero's cheeks, tickling the child . Although the celestial horse couldn't speak, it could communicate telepathically .
As such, Pegasus immediately understood what Zero wanted . It if were any other horses, they might not be able to travel stealthily . However, Pegasus knew some magic . After Zero was safely on his back, the horse galloped into the sky and cast a spell of silence around them . This way, they were able to tail the sisters without getting spotted .
It was early in the morning about five when the girls reached the medicine man's house, tired and out of breath . Zero wasn't too surprised to know that the medicine man was the same stranger Truen didn't want him to meet . If the village chief was telling the truth, Zero would have to apologise to Truen for behaving so mean to the elf who only wanted to protect him . The moontaur sisters were going to be the evidence Zero needed to know if the old man in the tiny house was a good or bad person .
The old man must still be asleep because when the sisters knocked on the door, nobody answered . The house was dark and everything was quiet .
Left with no choice, the sisters decided to sit outside the house to wait for the old man to come out of his house . Zero thanked Pegasus and dismissed him . He sat on the tree, awaiting the first rays of sun and anxious to know what will happen next .
