Allen and his little bones [Western Fantasy]

Why did Jiu Lisa appear in the canyon that symbolized the turning point in Eli's life?

In the dream, Eli was at a loss for this. He looked at his mother from a distance away. Although the face of the other party was the same as the previous few times, most of it was still hidden under the hood of the cloak, and the face could not be seen clearly. He just knew that the other party was also looking at him.

I don't know how long the two have been looking at each other. Dreams can confuse people's sensory control of time. Anyway, when Eli shivered slightly in another gust of cold wind, he saw that he was about to freeze into a picture. The painted mother moved.

The other party took a step back.

Behind the other party is a deep canyon and ravine, with no place to stay.

Even though he realized that this was another dream, Eli's heart still beat violently for this scene, and he instinctively ran forward, running to where Jiulisa had stopped in two or three steps.

To his surprise, even though the retreating Jiulisa had already stepped onto the void and had no support under her feet, she still stood firmly, as if she was standing on the condensed air mass.

Then, under Eli's surprised and confused gaze, the woman whose whole body was hidden in the cloak raised an arm, pointed down, and made a "look down" gesture with pale and slender fingers.

Eli lowered his head subconsciously——

It was as if someone had been lurking behind him for a long time, and finally waited for this moment to come. Almost at the same time as Eli lowered his head, he heard a strong wind behind his head, but before he could turn around to confirm the situation, the limited cliffs under his feet The area hindered his dodging action, and he was hit hard on the lower back when he could not avoid it. Naturally, his body lost his balance and he couldn't control himself and threw himself forward.

Julisa Winter stood in the void directly in front of Eli, as if she made a gesture of raising her arms, ready to embrace her son who was rushing towards her.

Eli saw the rapidly enlarged figure of his mother in front of his eyes, and he indeed ran straight towards the opponent, but he didn't jump on a body with a body.

He felt as if he was hugged by a cold, maybe a little sticky mist.

An indescribable coldness enveloped him in an instant, and the power of the undead that he was familiar with slowly flowed in the coldness.

"come here."

The "fog" that made up his mother whispered in his ear, as soft as a whisper.

Eli was about to finish receiving this message. Before he had time to think about hearing his mother's voice for the first time, and he had no time to respond to even a single syllable, the power that supported him to pause in midair disappeared in the next second. up.

He fell towards the darkness below... and landed on some soft but elastic support.

With the experience of the previous few times, Allen is basically familiar with the business of "catching an Eli who is rolling in his sleep in time".

The "support" that stabilized Eli's body again was of course Allen.

Eli woke up from the dream, and as soon as he opened his eyes, he met Alan's face that was very close to him.

He is on top and Allen is on the bottom.

He looked as if he had rolled over in a dream, putting his legal partner entirely between himself and the bed.

Allen, who was awakened from a good sleep, was quite good-tempered: "Have you had a nightmare again?"

He asked, and stretched out his hand to pull back the quilt that had slipped away because of Eli's disturbance, and rewrapped the person above who had exposed most of his body to the low temperature at night.

Although Eli's eyes were opened, he wasn't fully awake yet, so he couldn't say anything to Allen immediately. He only looked at Allen's face at first glance, but in fact the focus had already wandered to nowhere .

The quilt that Dorothy was going to give to the child was freshly dried, and the quilt cover was covered with a layer of thin and fine fleece.

When the clean and warm quilt was wrapped around his body again, Eli's back was inevitably rubbed all over by the fluff. He shrank his shoulders reflexively, and then he came back to his senses and heard Alan's question.

"……Um."

He frankly admitted that he had dreamed again, and he didn't ask Alan why he could guess it.

Anyway, it's not uncommon for the other party to guess.

Allen patted Eli's back, and stroked his warm palm back and forth along his back twice.

After the body of his subordinates gradually relaxed, he asked about the content of the dream.

Eli naturally had nothing to keep from Allen. After calming down for a while, he told Allen the contents of the dream.

So three hours before leaving the Anduru Valley, Allen revised their itinerary, and the two resolutely gave up their original destination and turned to this canyon first.

It might sound unreliable to use the dream as a weathervane, but after Eli's dream has been successfully fulfilled, it has become a more reliable "guiding light" than other clues.

It was not until he heard Eli talk about this dream, in which Julisa Winter was standing above the canyon that had brought drastic changes, guiding Eli to look down, that he suddenly realized a problem——

Why hadn't they thought of visiting the place where Eli underwent racial conversion before?

According to the elder of the undead, there is a magic seal in Eli's body that can suppress the power of the undead. It was this seal that allowed Eli to spend the first ten years of stability, allowing the other party to freely walk through the multiple darkness of the Alberta Academy. Between the biological expulsion circle.

Why this spell seal was loose, and what caused it to be unsealed in the canyon, this key point should have been noticed early.

"Maybe your mother couldn't bear to see us running around like headless chickens, and the thread of doubt at hand was getting bigger and bigger, so she finally couldn't help it, and came to give us some hints."

Allen teased Eli casually, but because his tone and expression were too serious, it sounded more like a serious and serious speech.

The night passed without incident, and Eli, who was finishing packing the tent, straightened up and thought for a few seconds, her expression of agreement mixed with melancholy: "If she can really perceive our actions and still have consciousness..." He lowered his head Voice, "...I made her worry."

"..."

He didn't mean to make his partner feel depressed when he woke up in the morning. Allen was alert to the bad momentum, so he quickly took the things that had been neatly folded by Eli. Put the item back into the portable space, and the other hand naturally slid from the top of the hair to the back of the opponent's head.

He glanced at Eli's untidy hairstyle, and quietly threw out the "bait" to divert the other's attention: "Would you like to help you tidy up your hair, it's a bit messy."

Eli stroked his hair, and imagined that it might not be "a little messy" just by the feel of his hand. He only hesitated for a moment between coming by himself and asking Alan, and then he was very honest from body to heart. towards the latter.

"it is good."

The blond young man, who was always easy to lure in front of his black-haired partner, bit the hook honestly, while his senior, who was secretly watching, shook his head silently in the tree.

It will be half an hour after everything is packed, and the traces of the two people's camping have been dealt with, and they can leave at any time.

Allen made the last confirmation, and turned to the direction of the canyon first. He squinted slightly under the sun that had just risen completely, and turned his gaze to the canyon that the sun could not fully illuminate: "Let's go."

He had an unfounded hunch that there might be a place that would resolve most of their confusion.
