Chapter 305 A Mysterious Wtich
Rowana smiled when she heard him. She stopped walking and leaned close to his ear, speaking in a seductive voice.
"Don't worry, Archer Wyldheart. We will be spending a lot of time together in the future, my little dragon."
He looked at the woman with raised eyebrows when he heard her but wondered what she meant.
After thinking about it, he gave up and couldn't be bothered to figure it out and decided to wait until she was ready.
As they were walking again he thought to himself 'I wonder why she's so interested in me. We have only met a few times.'
But then he got curious about what she meant but shrugged before commenting. ''Okay, I look forward to it Rowana.''
The mysterious witch looked at him and wondered why he was so casual about everything but stopped thinking about it.
She grabbed his arm again as they traveled down the road, making their way to the College of Magic.
As they were walking Archer spotted sprawling farmlands. Tended by hardworking hands, the fields were a tapestry of colors.
Golden wheat was swaying in the breeze, rows of hearty vegetables, and orchards laden with ripe fruits.
The sight was a testament to the fruits of labor and the harmony between nature and those who tended it.
As he admired the sight he thought to himself. 'This world is so beautiful, it's completely different from Earth.'
But what truly captured his attention was something even more enchanting in the distance – the College of Magic.
Its towers rose like crystalline spires against the horizon, a beacon of wisdom and arcane mastery.
The sun, now descending towards the horizon, cast a warm, golden hue upon the college's walls, making them seem almost ethereal.
Archer felt the late afternoon breeze on his face, it blew his short messy hair all over the place.
After walking for a little while they arrived at the college. They stopped before the towering gates of the College of Magic.
They stood as guardians to a world of magical knowledge and endless possibilities. Before him stretched an imposing building, its grandeur almost taking his breath away.
As he gazed at the intricately carved spires and majestic arches, a sense of familiarity washed over him.
He couldn't help but be reminded of a particular magic school from a beloved book he had read back on Earth.
Archer couldn't help but smile as he recognized the parallels. The nostalgia mingled with his current reality, creating a unique blend of wonder and surrealism.
He half-expected to see young wizards racing on broomsticks or magical creatures peeking from hidden corners.
Yet, this massive building in front of him is no story. The College of Magic was real, and he was about to become a part of its story.
After admiring the college she stopped walking. He turned to her as she let go of his arm and was typing something on an artifact, he thought she wasn't paying attention to him.
That's when an idea came to him. As he grew even more curious about this mysterious woman, Archer decided to use his Analyze skill on her.

He was puzzled, but the older woman looked at him and spoke with a seductive grin in a captivating tone. ''You shouldn't try to pry into a lady's secret Archer, It would be seen as rude if it was someone else.''
Rowana looked into his eyes as she continued speaking. ''One day you will know everything about me my dragon, but today's not the time for such stuff.''
When he heard her speak a shiver went down his spine, she gave him a big smile when she was done speaking.
She then started to drag him further into the college, they made their way up the pathway that led to the main entrance.
The path was peaceful and there wasn't anyone around but he could see people rushing around in the distance.
Archer thought to himself as she watched her. 'I wonder why it didn't work on her, I think it didn't work because she is high-ranked but it's exciting that she must be really strong, I must fight her one day.'
As they continued walking through the college's enchanting garden, a symphony of delightful scents enveloped him.
Every step revealed a new scent, filling the air with a variety of delightful aromas. He heard birds chirping all over giving off a melodic tune.
He inhaled deeply, savoring the sweet perfume of blooming flowers that mingled with the earthy undertones of herbs and the subtle hint of magic in the air.
The breeze carried whispers of lavender and rosemary, a soothing melody that danced around him.
Archer closed his eyes for a moment, letting the fragrant breeze awaken his senses and he started to feel calm.
Rowana turned to him with a smile and spoke. ''Archer, I have to go and meet my friend for an important meeting, but don't worry my dragon we will see each other again.''
He nodded his head and replied. ''No worries Rowana, I will see you soon.''
The older woman grinned up at him. ''You sure will.''
She turned on her heels and made her way to the college entrance while waving to him after she bid farewell to him.
He watched with curiosity in his eyes wondering why she was so mysterious, he kept looking at her until she disappeared from sight.
He thought to himself. 'What a strange woman, I wonder who she actually is and why she left so suddenly.'
When Rowana was gone he started to look for a place that he could transport him and the girls to, he soon found a place that was not far from where he was.
He made his way over to it and found it to be really quiet and peaceful so he opened a portal to the domain.
Archer stepped through to see all the girls talking in the living room.
They all turned to him with smiles, he was about to greet them but before he could speak Sera jumped up and rushed over to him.
She started sniffing him before she spoke in a jealous voice. ''Who is she?''
Archer looked at the redhead with a smile but soon noticed all the girls were looking at him. ''I ran into a witch called Rowana who I met years ago, but there's something about her I can't put my finger on.''
All the girls looked curious, Ella had a small smile on her face, and Hemera giggled when she saw Sera's reaction.
Teuila just chuckled and started relaxing while motioning toward Archer to join her with a grin.
Talila was just watching the scene with curious eyes. but she quickly asked a question. ''What do you mean Arch?''
''I'm not sure, she's strong for sure but I think she's hiding something but I don't know.'' He answered the elf's question as he sat down.
Ella was the next to change the subject and talk about it another time. ''Did you find a place for us to transport to?''
Archer nodded as he pulled Hemera and Teuila into a hug, the two of them leaned on him earning dirty looks from the others.
He laughed when he saw this but answered Ella's question. ''Yeah, I found a quiet place inside the college's garden.''
She nodded as he turned to the pink princess who was watching him with narrowed eyes which caused him to smile at her.
But instead of smiling back, she spoke in a jealous tone. ''Who's this witch you met? Did you flirt with her husband?''
Archer began to explain when and where they met and how he didn't flirt with her and how she told him she had a friend in the college.
Once he was done talking it was Hemera who spoke up in a cheerful voice. ''When do we leave for the ball?''
He thought for a second then answered. ''Two hours, it's not long now.''
Teuila put her head on his shoulder and quickly fell asleep causing the group to laugh, Hemera pulled out a book and started reading.
She swung her legs on his lap and started to relax while the other started talking to pass the time.
The girls asked him questions about his life on Earth, before he started he decided to tell Talila who was sitting there with her head in her hands looking at him.
When Archer finished telling her there was no change in her expression so he grew curious and asked her. ''Tali, why do you not seem bothered about my past life?''
She smiled as she started talking. ''Well the girls tell me you seem to like shocking people, so I'm ready for your revelations. Even so, your past life does interest me.''
He nodded as he heard Sera speak. ''What were your parents like on this Earth?''
As he heard her memories flooded back to him as he remembered a lot about his Mother on Earth and wondered how she was doing.
Archer shook his head and tried his best not to be bothered by the swirling emotions that were happening inside him.
