The next day finally came and Sato had already headed out toward the witches first thing in the morning.
He went alongside Yuri and took a single horse that both he and Yuri rode on to the center of the forest, also known as the Gateway and the home of the 7 witches of Lilivil.
"Is this the place?" Sato asked, stopping his horse in front of a very big tree, probably the biggest tree in the whole forest.
The tree was decorated with different kinds of colorful flowers, there were fugs covering the ground and also sounds of animals echoing in the bushes.
And even though there was sunlight, the area surrounding the Gateway was only about 15% of the main light, the place hardly absorbed any of the sunlight, making it look like it was sunset all the time.
Yuri leaped down from the horse and walked toward the tree, "Looks like they aren't complete, just two are around." She said before looking back at Sato.
"Are you sure you didn't mix the time up, Yuri?" Sato asked.
"Master…" Yuri sighed, "Have a little faith in me".
"If you say so, let's get this over with quickly, we still have…"
Sato suddenly tilted his head backward, dodging the stray arrow that was aimed at him. The arrow went directly at Yuri who caught it before it could damage her face.
"Great… another idiot." Sato got down from the horse and landed on the ground, fire burning around his wrist as he got ready to attack.
Walking toward the bushes, Sato could see multiple tiny wooden creatures, holding weapons in their hands with clicking noises coming from their mouths.
The creatures were slowly moving away from Sato, at least up until the point the witch of Sex Selfy showed up.
"Children, calm down… what did I tell you about attacking people without telling me first you naughty woodsmen." Selfy voiced out as she strolled out of the bushes.
She noticed Sato standing a few feet in front of her, with red hot flames spirling around his arms as he carried a stern look on his face.
"Oh my, what a handsome young man~," Selfy said seductively, her finger on her lips as she smiled.
Sato uttered, still carrying a stern look on his face, "Why did you attack me just now? I take it you are one of the witches I'm supposed to meet?" He asked, the flames extinguishing around her hands.
"Oh my~, are you the Lord of elves I've heard so much about?" Selfy said with a smile, "Well well well, talk about the jackpot… you look totally editable".
"Selfy, that's enough already, you should learn to restrain yourself sometimes." Yuri walked forward, "Been a while, Selfy".
"Yuri!" Selfy ran toward her and gave her a hug that pushed her to the ground, "You bad girl, left mummy all alone by herself~" She rubbed her face on Yuri's boobs.
"Get off me Selfy, I told you I don't do… women!" Yuri forced her way out of Selfy's grasp before she stood behind Sato.
"Awwn, why are you running away?" Selfy sobbed, walking on all fours toward Yuri with puppy dog eyes.
"Look, we came here because you asked for it okay? No messing around." Yuri voiced out, desperately trying to get away from Selfy.
A sigh escaped Selfy's mouth, "Oh well, it was worth the try." She stood up from the ground and dusted her dress, "Let me introduce myself".
"My name is Selfy, and I am the witch of Sex… feel free to call me when you have a boner." Slefy introduced herself with a smile.
"Sato Inugami, nice to meet you." Sato replied.
"Selfy, where are the rest of the witches, I can only sense two inside the Gateway." Yuri spoke out.
"Yeah, about that." Selfy began to walk toward the tree, "Terafona got into some issues with Kirah, turned into a hassle, and now they are currently in a battle… it's been going on for days now… come in." She walked right inside the tree with two of her small minions following behind her.
Sato sighed from afar, "You have interesting friends," He uttered, leading to Yuri responding with a weird chuckle.
They followed behind Selfy and walked right inside the tree too, only to arrive in a narrow way with light lamps hanging on the ceiling.
The rocky path was long and dark, but a bright light could easily be spotted from the end of the tunnel.
Selfy snapped her fingers, and her small minions suddenly lit up from the fire burning their bodies.
"Does the Lord of Elves know anything about us witches?" Selfy raised a question as she walked.
"I'm afraid not." Sato replied, "I only recently found out about you wanting to meet up with me if that makes any sense".
"Well now, I'm hurt, Yuri didn't tell you about her best friend? That's just cold sweetheart." Selfy laughed.
"Enough with the jokes Selfy, Master has something to do right after this, if both Terafona and Kirah are absent, how are we going to discuss this?" Yuri asked.
"Hmmm, I haven't thought of that." Selfy replied, looking at the bright light up ahead.
Sato stood at the back, just observing everything around him as he walked, 'Aril, these witches… do they fall under some kind of law guarding the forest?' He asked.
<< They are the law, the forest was created by them so they ruled over everything within it and have been doing so for the past 100 years>>
'Now I find that funny, if Jira does happen to defeat me in this war and someone takes claim of the forest, will the witches let that happen?' Sato raised another question.
<<Well, that will depend on the votes, when you arrived at the forest and began building the Village, there's no doubt they had a meeting concerning that… and that is most likely why they wished to speak with you>>
Sato smiled, 'You know what, I might actually gain something from this… play my cards right and I could have the witches dancing in my palms'.
