The creature standing before Alix was large and beautiful, Alix couldn't help but smile at it and the others looked at him, then at the beast and the young boy and girl exchanged glances.
"Don't make any sudden moves, he is like one of the protectors of this place, he will attack if you make a rash move," the girl warned and Adora's eyes narrowed as she looked at the beast and then at Alix.
"It looks quite strong, that I must say," Kyllan added and Zack nodded, then Alix smiled and his eyes glowed slightly orange as the creature tilted its head while looking at him.
The creature was large, white in color and had blue and green designs on its body. It was long and slender with a fluffy tail, had four legs, a slim dragon mixed with a wolf-like face and it was large.
"What is it?" Alix asked.
"It's a Sava, Alix," Adora responded.
'I wonder if it sensed him if it did then...' Adora thought as Alix raised his right hand and slowly moved towards the creature.
"Is that a good idea?" Ayden asked and Aerav shrugged.
"Uh... Be careful," Sarah added.
Alix smiled, then placed his hand on the beast's head and its eyes glowed bright blue, then it closed its eyes and the young girl and boy left dumbstruck and Adora chuckled as the others sighed.
"This is a surprise, it never lets anyone but the chief touch it, his name is Minastra," the girl said and Adora smiled then Alix patted the beast on its head.
"You like him, don't you?" Adora asked and Alix looked at her then the beast looked at her.
She glanced at it and her eyes glowed slightly red and she looked at him, then Alix grabbed onto her arm and she flinched.
Alix gently brought forth her hand and the beast sniffed her and then allowed her to touch it and Adora smiled.
"You are soft, Minastra," she said and the beast raised up his head, then roared and everyone looked at it when it flew away and Alix chuckled.
'Was this the creature he mentioned?' Adora wondered as she looked at the smile on Alix's face.
"You must have some special charm that made it like you, wow," the girl said and Alix sighed.
"Shall we go have dinner? I am hungry, but where shall we stay?" Alix asked.
"I think we should stay on the ship, we are a lot," Kyris said.
"I think the same," Alix added and Adora sighed.
"We have to walk all the way back there, also we will be spending at least a few days to fully understand and tour this place," Adora said and Alix smiled at her.
"Wait, we have two houses, empty, it's fancy and so on, you will have everything you need, tomorrow, you guys can separate yourselves in the houses and you don't have to worry about your ship, it will be safe for the night and you guys can move it to the hills tomorrow morning, how about that?" the boy asked.
They looked at each other then Alix smiled at him, then patted him on his shoulder.
"I like the idea," Alix responded.
"I am for it," Adora added.
"No way am I walking back, I am too tired for that..." Adora mumbled.
Alix heard her then smiled before patting her on her shoulder and she glanced at him, then he grinned and her eyes shimmered as she stared at him, then lowered her head before exhaling deeply.
"We are okay with it as well," Yan said and the others nodded then the boy sighed in relief.
"Good, then you guys can decide which one of the houses you will stay in, both are near the waterfall area and you guys will have an amazing view, warning, it can get a bit chilly," the girl said.
"We are fine with chilly, sounds nice as well," Adora replied.
"Nice, then follow me," she said before walking away and they followed her.
After a few minutes of walking, they arrived at the part where the lake was and they smiled when they saw how beautiful the land where the houses were, filled with flowers and the moonlight reflecting on the water was nice.
They looked and saw that the back porch of the houses, part of it was in the water and Adora exhaled deeply as she enjoyed the fresh air.
"Where is the waterfall?" Alix asked.
"Ah, you go over the lake, you can walk around and if you can see the steam from the waterfall there, it's just behind that opening in the hill, it's where the water from the lake comes from, it's beautiful at night especially," the boy responded.
Alix glanced at Adora and then smiled before thanking the boy and they separated into two groups to share the houses which were basically connected to each other and had enough space for all of them.
The houses were comfortable and had a modern touch to them, nothing was old, it was as though it was lately built and had everything that they needed.
"Adora and Alix, can you guys share one room? Ifrit took the next room and Yan and I will be sharing one," Nina said and Adora looked at her with her eyes narrowing and Alix smiled.
"Sure, we will share, I don't see a problem with that," Alix replied and Nina grinned.
"That's nice," Nina said.
"I am going to make dinner," Adora said and the young girl grabbed onto her arm and she looked back at her.
"No need to, we made preparations and also, don't you guys need your clothes?" The girl asked.
"I already took care of that, everyone's things are within their bags, they packed, but didn't bring out anything," Kyris said and everyone looked at the bags on the floor and looked at him.
They knew he used his teleportation ability to make everything easier, so they wouldn't have to go back and they thanked him.
"You guys have a seat, dinner will be here, soon," the girl said then all of them sat down in the living room together, waiting for dinner, while enjoying their view.
