Not The Treasure You Would Expect | Hika & Chel

Despite how the young woman attempted to make sure Chel didn’t take notice of her wound, the grim features on her face showed otherwise. Silently, the pinkette could not help but roll her eyes at herself before nodding towards her fiancé, gesturing him that she was more than fine. She definitely was. The place where her foe had pummelled into her abdomen ached just slightly — it was nothing she could not take care of, yet, being a lover of her, it was apparent Chel was more worried than she was for herself. A sudden jerk and a flicker of shadow within the corner of her eyes caught her attention as the guild master of Sabertooth snapped her head around only to see the vulcan clutching onto her paramour’s leg. Doubtless, her face scarcely showed any emotion, for she was sure Chel would not hesitate to hack its head off. Without bothering any further, the woman whirled back around, billowing out her dark cloak that fell behind her outwards as if they were thick curtains as she trudged through the sand and into the dense forest.

Light began to fade the further the Sabertooth mages proceeded into the forest, dense thickets of half-drowned trees pressed close around them, branches dripping with curtains of pale fungus. The woods was strangely silent, apart from the whistling of the wind and the rustle of bright yellow leaves spiralling along with the motion of the air currents. The branches snapped underneath her boots, causing her to jolt slightly from the disturbing sound within the tranquility. By hearing the sounds of footsteps behind her, Hika was certain that her fiancé had now caught up to her after dealing with the remaining vulcan who was near death. The woman could scarcely see anything in front of her, sunlight blocked by the huge branches that protruded from the trees, only specks of light pierced through the gap between the leaves as she made her way through the dark forest. The wind brushed against her cheek, whisking away the pink strands of her hair ever so gently, her cloak billowing behind her as the breeze picked up its speed, outlined nobly against the sun and the stars for all to see. The trees swayed slightly with the momentum of the wind and spots of sunlight fell upon her face and onto the dried leaves that filled the whole path she was headed too.

For a brief moment, the woman stood still and listened to how the nature was talking to her; the wind, the leaves, every single movement, her eyes closed briefly with a small smile on her line of her plump lips. The guild master of Sabertooth had always been a lover of nature; the only thing that kept her in peace, the only sounds that could calm her and a piece that truly inspired her. It was as if the wind had responded to her as it gently caressed her cheeks. Her smile widened before her bright cerulean orbs fluttered open, her body suddenly filled with energy and motivation. For some reason, she felt restless and a sudden urge to use her powers. The swift sounds from a distance knocked her back to her senses, her eyes and ears instantly peeled for anything that might be coming to their way. Shadows loomed past her, behind the trees that engulfed around the two Sabertooth mages. Her rank was high enough to sense things from a distance, yet, she was unable to see what or who exactly it was with her bare eyes. Activating her magic, a dark, pitch-black colour began to warp her eyes, filling out the entire cornea. From this, the woman’s sight was intensified, her magic enabling her to see almost anything detailed within the area.

The whole forest revealed around her, even the tiniest insects of the woods. The beings that lurked within the shadows emerged in her sight and for a second, the woman was greatly surprised by their appearance. Not only the beings were tiny, their foes had huge pots with plants, precisely mushrooms growing out of the clay pot. Her brows were lifted in confusing, nonetheless, she decided to push the thought away from her mind. The enemies appeared to be ones taken down with easiness for her. Indigo pools danced with amusement as a sly smile rested on her lips. Black and purple fumes coated her hands, rising as if they were flames and took a signature stance, her legs parted slightly and her hands motioned in a different position, the moment the midgets came forth out of the woods.


With a hoist of her hand, her enemies were lifted into mid-air while she altered the force fields around their bodies with a swift gestures of her fingers. The midgets would find themselves locked in an invisible column where energy is highly compressed inside the column. The young mage curled her fingers into a tight ball, causing the pillars that surrounded the midgets to follow the same motion as she gestured. Blood splattered everywhere and the pieces of the dead bodies were tossed around in all directions from the force of the crush. ”Let’s keep moving.” The features on her face still remained unmoving, before she gestured Chel to come with her to search for the final treasure. The woman extended her hand and grabbed for the nearby branches in a way to push herself forward. A speck of light reached out towards her, perhaps a few meters away from her which was not so far from where she was standing. The further she treaded forward, the brighter the light was, filling out the entire vicinity of the forest with a pale illuminating colour. Her ability was not required to perceive things around her anymore for the dazzling light was bright enough to light up the whole area, enabling her to witness everything around her. Fingers lazily sprawled in front of her face to protect herself from the blinding light, the woman glimpsed through the space between her fingers, wondering what exactly it could be.

The pine trees and the wildness of the gorse bushes grew in profusion all around her. The wind was chilly and cut into her, the Sabertooth guild master loved the wild sound that occurred within the forest and the salty smell of it as well as the deepen sense of solitude. The two Sabertooth mages proceeded further into the forest, light still reaching out towards them. Before the woman realised, she had already arrived at the end of the forest whilst at the same time, greeted by one of the most magnificent views she had ever seen apart from the scenery above her guild hall and the citadel; the building in Iceberg where she had trained for her new abilities along with the help of Deniel Decayuss. A waterfall came into her sight as streams of water gushed out of huge boulders, cascading down into the plunge pool. The roar of the waters filled the area, silencing all the noises that was within the vicinity. Stones were neatly adorned around the edge of the pool as the water washed over the cobble stones due to the rising waves. Who in the world got the idea to bury the treasure at this place? Confused and bewildered by the thought, the woman wondered where the treasure box would be hidden.

The woman held the stick firmly in her hands, which was given to her by her paramour and stared at it curiously, wondering what it actually does. It was weird how Chelvaric was aware of everything all of a sudden and she was not but she decided to push her thoughts away, not wanting to be distracted. Following Chel in his tracks, she waited until the device began to beep furiously, indicating that something metallic was buried underneath. As she was told, the woman pummelled her shovel into the sand with all her might, digging out the sand that was a few meters away from the lake, or rather, a plunge pool. Her body began to break into a fine dew of perspiration and instinctively, the young woman slipped her lean body out of her black cloak before she threw it into a distance on the ground. The guild master was now dressed in a black leather cropped top, along with black tight pants and boots. Her pale skin glittered as she basked under the sun, her hair turning pale from the light that shone down upon her.

Indigo pools swept over to Chelvaric only to see his arm muscles flexing the moment he dug his shovel into the sand. Heat rushed to her cheeks, apple red pools dancing with embarrassment that she had witnessed a sight of that sort before she immediately averted her attention back to the ground and let out a discreet cough. Piles of sand and mud pooled around her feet and on the sides, a hole depth of at least 5 meters dug into the ground. A sigh escaped her lips, her cheeks puffed out and placed her arms on her waist. Closing her eyes briefly, the pink haired lady enjoyed the sunlight on her face and let the breeze fairly snatched her breath away. It was an amazing feeling; something that felt almost like the beach.

Beep. Beep. Beep.

The metal detector set off once again, the sound reverberating thought the walls of boulders and into the forest. ”I think we found it!” The rose haired lady exclaimed, her eyes wide open and stared down at the hole they had just created, digging further into the sand until a wooden box was revealed. The edges of the treasure box was lined with golden decorations and adorned with jewels. Violet pools sparkled at the sight in front of her and let her fingers brush against the mahogany treasure chest. She waited until her fiancé had unlocked the key, or rather broke it in this case only to unveil a pair of swimming bikini, together with a sheet of paper. Listening to the words Chelvaric had read the message out loud, the young woman could not help but mentally smack her head against a wall and rolled her eyes at how this ’Margaret’ person had fooled everyone. Placing her hand on her forehead, she could not believe herself expecting the treasure box to be filled with emeralds, rubies and a variety of jewels, only to display something entirely different. ”I can’t believe we went through all for this.” Hika snorted, heavy brows shadowing her bright eyes of blue followed by a huge frown curving downwards on her lips.

Chelvaric seemed to be amused with the treasure they had just been rewarded and the guild master could not help but smirk at his reaction, her lips twitching at one end. Of course, she knew he wanted her to wear those swimming bikini, it was all obvious in the way he winked at her and the lust portrayed in his eyes. ”Aren’t you truly a pervert?” She laughed, punching his arm before grabbing the bikini off his hands. ”Fine, I’ll go change then.” With a sly smile of amusement, the woman trotted off into a distance where it was slightly dark so she could change her attire comfortably, after throwing a glance at him. Suddenly, she remembered Chelvaric mentioning that the bikini was able to switch to any colour she wanted. Oh, how surprising. The woman thought to herself, her eyebrows raised in astonishment. She was never aware that such things existed. After wrapping herself in the bikini they had just discovered by tying the loose strands around her neck and her back, Hika tapped the under garments with her finger causing the colour to convert to an extremely white clothing. Satisfied, the woman walked towards the pool and gently dip herself into the warm water while she swam towards her paramour. A playful smile danced on her rosy lips as she placed her arms around his neck and let her eyes skim over the features on his face. The woman let herself soak in water, her white clothing dripping with water as it turned transparent. The woman knew what she was doing and her smirk deepened.
