Death awaits you the second you cross your boundaries.
As we made our way to the Black Forest, Jame and Kira blocked our path.
"Where are you going, Lilith? And who is that girl beside you?" Jame questioned me.
"To the Black Forest," Caelith responded."Who are you?" Kira asked Caelith."That's Caelith," I replied, and Caelith looked at me with disbelief."Are you crazy? Why are you telling them my name?""You already have a contract with me.""Why are you going to the Black Forest, Lilith?" As Jame asked, Kira turned her attention from Caelith to Jame, who was standing next to her.
Jame and Kira are strong—Kira is a mage, and Jame is a knight."Max is there." Both Jame's and Kira's eyes widened in shock. We all knew Max was careless and stupid, but we never expected him to be that careless. I looked at Kira and Jame and spoke up."I have to go now, before he gets into more trouble.""You mean we," Jame corrected me."We're coming with you," Kira added.
I nodded to them, and all four of us ran toward the Black Forest.
"Psh, you useless kid," I heard a whisper in my ear as I ran. The voice was so familiar—it was my little puppy's voice."What do you want, Satan?" I whispered back, making sure only he could hear me."Where are you going?""Black Forest." He started laughing when he heard my response.
Before I could react to the little puppy, we were already in front of the entrance to the Black Forest. The forest has two big gates. The one in front of us is called the Barhuo Gate. The other, on the opposite side leading to the Jerefon Mountains, is called the Yzisfl Gate. I turned to look at Kira as she spoke.
"Let's split up and meet here at noon."We all nodded at Kira's suggestion, while Satan watched us. I could feel his gaze even though I couldn't see him. One annoying thing about devils and cursed angels is that they can make themselves invisible whenever they want.
Jame went first—he headed to the west side of the forest. Kira followed but went to the east. I, Satan, and Caelith headed to the northern side. As I searched for Max, Caelith explained to Satan what was happening so he could help us search too.
