A Fallen Knight-Lost art of Necromancy

Chapter 40: Past Secret 4

"You need to express regardless whether it's happiness or sadness"

*****************************************

"How are we going to find out that shadow point? Even if it's not an exit and is path still we need to have directions or map for traveling but look, we don't have anything." Noworry spoke up.

Severus stifled his laughter and went on to say," Who told you that we don't have anything? No need to fear when Severus is here, ." Severus said smugly.

Noworry"....."

"Ewwwww.....what a roadside comedy Severus. Where did you learn all this? I thought you were a quiet and well-behaved person but the more I get to know you, the more colors I see in you. You really aren't a shy and quiet man"

"Never said that I am"

Noworry"....."

Well, Severus was right. He never told it.

Interesting!!!!!!

The journey ahead will be interesting.

"Severus, how are we going to find directions? Tell? At least tell where are we going?", Noworry asked persistently.

Severus totally ignored him and didn't stop walking until he reached near a pond. The place where he stopped was beautiful and lonely. It was a nature spot. A larger circular pond was there in between the forest, looking totally magical. Trees with colorful leaves surrounded the pond and some petals dropped from the trees and fell on the pond water. The water inside was very clean and even reflected scenery. It looked like a mirror.

When Noworry saw the scenery his mouth remained hanged open. He has seen various beautiful sceneries but nothing was comparable to this one. The garden of seven seasons also was not comparable to this.

Noworry stood up and took a round near the trees and soared high in the air.

"Wow, Severus!!!!!!!!! Why did you hide this treasure from me? It's so beautiful and the air around this place is so pure. I feel like I am in heaven. Quick tell? Why didn't you told me earlier?", Noworry asked with a pout.

Severus smiled upon seeing Noworry so happy.

"I knew you would behave like this so that's why I didn't tell you beforehand, otherwise who knew if you wanted to settle here for the rest of your life, leaving me all alone to fend my self", Severus said all this pitifully.

Although Noworry knew that it was an act, still he felt guilty. For a moment he really had this idea to settle here for the rest of his life. This place was really beautiful and had everything that he desired.

"No, no how can I leave you? Let's go and continue our journey ", Noworry said all this a heavy heart. His heart was practically leading when he said about leaving this place and continuing the journey.

HAHAHAHAHAHAH

Severus laughed very hard on seeing Nwory's expression.

"Why are you laughing? I didn't tell you any joke", Noworry was confused.

He didn't know why Severus was having fits of laughter. Here he was sad that he had to leave such a beautiful place and on the other hand, Severus was laughing for God-Only- Knows why?

"Nothing ahhh.....it's nothing. Your expressions just now were very funny. It looked as if someone had robbed you. You look so sad as if you lost your meal", Severus said in between his laughter.

Noworry"...."

DAMN YOU SEVERUS

"Stop laughing. You just dilly-dallying. Let's continue what we were doing", Noworry humped.

Severus stopped laughing and sat on the ground cross-legged.

"What are you doing? Why are you sitting on the ground?", Noworry asked in bewilderment.

Shhh...

"Severus shushed him.

Noworry"...."

FINE I WON'T SPEAK.

Noworry perched on a nearby branch and guarded Severus. Although he knew that this place was safe still he was alert. Afterall danger always comes when we are least prepared.

Severus used a twig to draw a rune on the ground. He made three concentric circles and added various patterns in it and later he closed his eyes to chant a spell.

********************************************

Half an hour later.

Severus opened his eyes and stood up.

Noworry came down from the branch and again perched on Severus' shoulder.

"What did you do? You took so long. Did you perform another spell? Huh?" As expected, Noworry started his train of questions.

"Yeah, I performed spell because I didn't want to get drenched."

Noworry"...."

Was Severus suffering from mental illness?

This punk

Never giving straight answers.

"What do you mean by not wanting to get drenched? How will you get drenched?" Noworry asked after failing to understand what Severus meant.

"You see this pond here. This pond is not an ordinary pond"

"What do you mean not an ordinary pond? I can understand that it's beautiful but not to the extent to call it unique"

Severus"..."

"Stop butting every time before I complete my things Noworry. First, listen, and then speak. Okay"

"Okay", noworry replied sulkily.

"This pond contains magical water."

"How did you know? I didn't felt any magic from this water", Noworry asked in suspicion. He was from the Upper realm and his senses for magic were very keen so it was absolutely impossible for him to miss the magic. Heck, he can just smell magic in his dreams so how can he be mistaken when his senses were on high alert.

"I read in the book"

"You mean spells of death?"

Noworry was shocked. "Damn you, Severus! What did you read? Why did you choose to come to this place? Tell DAMMIT before it's too late"

"I told you there are Shadow points but we can't use the path of mountains one since the security is highest there and nor can we use the front ground. It would be same as seeking death"

"So? What did you decide?'

"So? what so? We are only left with one option to cross the river but that option isn't feasible too since for that we need to go near the river bed which is a tenacious task to do"

Noworry"....."

So he was right from the start. They were really exit gates.

"So how come you came up with this idea?"
