地圖上,預言之鎮的北部被塗上了一堆代表森林的墨綠顏料,而另一個城鎮般的標記就在這片墨綠樹海更北的地方。見此,一行三人仍未相交的心中彷彿早有共識,沿著伊咘西萊手上小巧的羅盤一路往北前進著。658Please respect copyright.PENANA1eZWofW860

「……阿爾法。」貝塔低下頭呼叫前方提著長劍向四方戒備的阿爾法。658Please respect copyright.PENANAqIw8i0P4Y9

「那一晚發生的事,你沒有放在心裏,對吧?」她這樣一問讓阿爾法停住了腳步,回過頭來直視著她。658Please respect copyright.PENANAw8nsY2ORpt

「這些都過去了不是嗎?」他搖了搖頭,「不知怎的,我就相信現在的妳不會再攻擊我和伊咘西萊。」說罷,他甩了甩劍,快步追上前方伊咘西萊的步伐。658Please respect copyright.PENANANL4W2Mh18J

看著遠去的阿爾法,貝塔仍然帶著複雜的心情,思索著他的心思。靛藍披風為視線抹上一層優柔的神秘,徘徊於她心中久未散去。帶著點點思慮,她又快步跟上了二人的腳步。658Please respect copyright.PENANAlLrQqGMXqX

日月交替,在肥沃平原上風餐露宿,到天色漸暗之時,就席地與星天共眠。夜裡,星天映在碧綠雙眼裡,五輪明月高掛始界大地之上,默默望向腳下大地。它們盈虧不一,在照亮夜空的同時亦讓人們以此作為記錄年月的曆法。658Please respect copyright.PENANAALj9j1dMS8

長夜過去,陽光再次照亮大地。繼續前進的三人終於來到地圖上的墨綠地帶,如地圖所示,無際森林的後方也許就是另一個人們聚居的地方。四周景色逐漸被稠密綠蔭所包圍,依稀聽見森林裡小生物的叫嚷在耳邊盤旋,阿爾法遂以雙手緊握起劍柄,提防草木中埋藏的危機。走著走著,樹蔭透著的陽光變得黯淡,一道閃電劃破天空,點滴雨露便應聲而降,不禁使他們顯得十分狼狽。658Please respect copyright.PENANAkp8S3H66Em

「真倒楣,明明剛才還萬里無雲,怎麼一進來就下這麼大雨?」伊咘西萊伸出背上雙翼遮蓋在頭上充當傘子擋雨。658Please respect copyright.PENANAIycW38Y5iN

「全身都濕了……」雨水把阿爾法的頭髮和鎧甲都弄得濕透。他急忙撥弄頭髮和身後披風,然而不久身體又沾得濕透,只好垂下頭任由水滴沿軀幹滴到地上。658Please respect copyright.PENANAqRKWRKp8Za

三人在豪雨下狼狽前行,走著走著隱約看到叢林後一大個白色的東西被藤蔓纏住,往近一看,看見生銹的窗框和欄柵,和一扇棕木大門。大門微微開啟,正好引誘阿爾法等人進去避雨。658Please respect copyright.PENANAJkVl461nJi

「前面有間屋子,要不要在裡面避一下雨?」貝塔抱頭擋雨,緊隨著兩人急步前行。658Please respect copyright.PENANAuMiorzxj83

「只好這樣了。阿爾法,我們進去吧。」伊咘西萊邊說邊衝到灰白色大宅前。658Please respect copyright.PENANAzPw5U87bXf

三人甫踏入儼如廢墟的空宅,身後大門便突然「砰」的一聲關上。慌張的伊咘西萊連忙嘗試拉開大門,可是儘管他拍著雙翼使勁地拉扯門柄,它卻像緊緊鎖上了那般。而這邊廂阿爾法則皺緊眉頭,握緊長劍指著前方,似乎從空氣裡感覺到一點怪異。疑慮未息,「咯咯、咯咯」的怪聲從前方此起彼落,斷斷續續,似是人為拍打於木製品上的聲音,把伊咘西萊嚇得躲在阿爾法的披風裡,不敢再回望前方。
