HP: Embrace the Darkness

"I don't mean not to need you, but I don't need so much hair this time."

"But thank you anyway, I'm very happy."

Asseth put away the hairballs on his hands and thanked them seriously.

Antonio and Cloris retreated with satisfaction.

Ases lay on the grass, touching Estela's head from time to time, his eyes slightly narrowed, his expression relaxed and comfortable.

The remaining sunlight softly covered his and Estella's bodies, seeming to glow from a distance.

Two big unicorns stood aside, quietly and tenderly looking at Ases and Estella in the sun.

As if remembering something, they suddenly looked at each other and communicated for a while in a language that Asses couldn't understand.

Then they made a decision, and Cloris came to Aces' side and nudged him gently with the tip of his nose.

Aces opened his half-lidded eyes and watched in amusement as the usually gentle Cloris acted coquettishly towards him like his child Estella.

"what happened?"

Aces patted the grass clippings on his body and stood up following Cloris's strength.

Seeing him stand up, Cloris lowered his head and cupped his hand.

It used its horns, but because it moved very carefully, it did not hurt Asseth.

Aces didn't understand what it was going to do, but he still followed its instructions and put his hand on its horn.

On the horn, the silvery magic power condensed to form a half-moon-shaped symbol, which merged into Ases's hand.

Aces took back his hand and looked at the symbol on the back of his hand.

Cloris continued to move.

It raised its head high, pointed towards the sky, and made a melodious and ethereal cry, woo yo~ yo

Yo yo deer roar.

Although a unicorn is not a deer, this verse from the East came to Asseth's mind for the first time.

Seeing her mother's behavior, Estela stood up and looked at Cloris with Antonio next to her, making the same ethereal cry.

Then, one after another screams echoed throughout the Forbidden Forest.

Upon hearing the response, Antonio came to Ass' side, lowered his body and motioned for him to sit up.

Aces believed them, so he turned over without hesitation.

After making sure that Asses was sitting firmly, Antonio raised his head and ran wildly.

The silver figure passed through the gloomy Forbidden Forest like a shooting star, followed by two strings of smaller shooting stars.

Their steps were light and they quickly left their shadows behind, passing through trees and grass one after another.

I don’t know how long it took, but Asseth passed through countless bushes.

Passing through a bush again, white light suddenly appeared.

Stimulated by the sudden white light, Asseth couldn't help but close his eyes. When he opened his eyes again, he couldn't help but be amazed by the scene in front of him.

The trickling stream follows the gloomy Forbidden Forest and surrounds the green valley, like a dividing line between the night sky and the morning glow.

In the valley, where the translucent mist is thick, dozens of unicorns emit soft silver light, lying or standing, embellished with silver light, forming a hazy and beautiful painting.

Antonio screamed, breaking the quiet and beautiful scene.

Sensing the arrival of the foreign creature, the unicorns all looked over.

Aces got off Antonio and stood there, his hand clenching his wand in his sleeve.

The unicorns around him stood up and gathered around him, looking at him warily.

There were also a few little unicorns peeping out their heads to look at Asseth.

Estela ran to the other side happily when she saw her companion.

Cloris nuzzled Asses comfortingly, then walked up to a unicorn that looked like the leader and communicated with it.

Antonio stayed in front of Asses, looking back at him from time to time, as if to comfort him.

Soon, the exchange between Cloris and the leader ended, and the unicorn leader paced and walked towards Asseth.

It stopped a few steps away from Asseth and looked at him carefully with its pure and clear eyes.

The atmosphere suddenly solidified, and Asseth held his breath.

At this distance, if the unicorn in front of him attacks him, he will never be able to escape.

After a while, Shui Ling's eyes suddenly blinked, and then his head nodded.

As it nodded, the surrounding atmosphere suddenly became relaxed.

The unicorns around him dispersed and looked away.

The unicorn leader nodded towards Asseth, then turned and left.

Aces didn't understand what it meant and cautiously stayed where he was.

Cloris followed and nudged him with the tip of his nose, gesturing for him to follow.

Aces stroked the wand in his hand, and finally chose to believe Cloris.

The unicorn leader brought Cloris and Asseth to the end of the stream, then stood still and shouted softly.

Aces could tell that its cry was different from Cloris's cry just now, but he still couldn't understand it.

The cry gradually became lower and lower until it disappeared.

At the end of the stream, clear spring water gushes out as the cry disappears.

The unicorn leader walked to the stream, lowered his head and touched the stream with his unicorn.

Then it turned around and came to Asseth, placing the corner with the stream water on Asses' hand.

That was the place marked just now, and Asseth was keenly aware of this.

The unicorn leader's movements continued, and suddenly a warm current flowed along the unicorn to Asseth's hands, then his arms, then his body, and finally his whole body.

Aces was wrapped in this warmth and couldn't help but close his eyes.

With his vision gone, he could clearly feel that the originally chaotic and violent magic power in his body gradually became more obedient and no longer resisted his control under the comfort of this warm current.

When the warmth disappeared, Asseth opened his eyes.

"Are you ok?"

A feeling of worry came over.

Looking at Clausius in front of him and the feeling he received in his mind, Aces' eyes widened involuntarily.

"What's going on? Cloris? Can I understand you?"

Before Cloris could say anything, he was interrupted by the unicorn leader next to him.

"Human, look at the back of your hand first."

Hearing this, Asseth subconsciously raised his hand and looked at the back of his hand.

On the back of the hand, a delicate pattern suddenly appeared.

This pattern is also half-moon-shaped, but it is much more complex and beautiful than the simple half-moon-shaped logo just now.

"what is this?"

Aces looked at the pattern on the back of his hand and wondered.

The unicorn that answered was still the leader of the unicorns, and it raised its head proudly.

"This is a blessing from our family."

"bless?"

"Yes, blessing. With this blessing, you will be a distinguished guest of our family."

Aces didn't quite understand what was going on.

"Why can I have this blessing?"

"Because you are special, you are recognized by us."

Aces still didn't understand and continued to ask what was special about him, but the unicorn leader and Cloris couldn't explain either. They only said that they thought he was special.
