《Ilario》CHAPTER 17: MEANING OF LOVES
Advertisement
Ilario went into city of Artis, the festival was bustle, several stalls, painter, the entertainment show at the center area, crowed with peoples. Ilario went to food stalls firstly, he wants to eat grill meat. After satisfied with many food stalls, Ilario walked around the festival, he saw a weapon stall, there were many unique shapes of weapons, the dagger knives with long claw-shaped, sharp point, one sharp edge, the unique serrated near the guard for both side but different shape. Ilario liked its design, he was using the normal dagger knives that he got from Oliver, sharp point and two sharp edges.
“You have sharp eyes. These dagger knives were made from Mythril Ore and forged by Dwarf, it’s strong and sharp,” said a merchant.
“How much is it?” said Ilario.
“5 gold coins each” said a merchant.
“Whoa...the price is quite high. The high grade of dagger knife is 1 gold coin each. Did he raise the high price?” mind communicated Ilario, he would like to know the opinion from Luna and Solaris before making a decision.
“No, we did not catch any bad intension from him, and normally, the weapons that forged by Dwarves are much higher quality than the smith of human race,” mind communicated Solaris.
While Ilario on telepathy with both of Luna and Solaris, a merchant thought that Ilario might give up on price.
“I will give you special price today, 4 gold coins each” said a merchant.
“I will take these 2 dagger knives” said Ilario and paid a merchant money.
Ilario was satisfied with his new dagger knives. The money in this world is simple, 100 silver coins to a gold coin and 10 bronzes to a silver. He has a lot of gold coins, because, he sold many wild bears, if the body of bear have no damage and smooth cut, the price would be up to 30 gold coins each, they are setting up high price because the wild bears are too dangerous for Ordinarius but many Noble Families in the capital have a lot of requirement because they could use it for making luxury products.
Ilario walked around the other stalls, he saw a girl wearing hood, running to the alley, the 3 men followed her but lost tracking at the alley, they wearing light armours and have swords, they were looking serious and went to other area when they not found a girl.

Ilario thought that a girl might be in trouble, he waited for the 3 men gone from that area and went to the alley.
Ilario could not detected her magic power but he could sense of her life energy, she was hiding behind the boxes.
“Do you need some help? I saw many guys searching for someone,” said Ilario but no answer from a girl.
“Err...I’m not a bad guy and I think that I could be some help of you,” said Ilario sincerely.
A girl appeared in front of Ilario, brown hair, red gold eyes, pretty, look like the same age as him. Her eyes color is beautiful, like ruby mixed with the shining of gold. Ilario momentarily stunned with her eyes and cloud not take his eyes off her, it was first time that Ilario felt in this way with a girl, the feeling that he has never felt even in his previous life.
“I’m running away from them, they have no intention of harming me. I would like to see around the festival freely. They are overprotecting,” said a girl after Ilario said nothing for a moment.
Ilario thought that she might be a daughter of noble family and have no chance of coming out, he would like her to be happy and have a good memory with the festival.
“I have a way. Do you really want to walk around without anyone seeing you?” asked Ilario.
“Really?” asked a girl excitingly.
“Of cause, I will show you” said Ilario and activated "Invisible" to both of them. “Please come out of the alley, no one could see you now.”
A girl came out, no one could see them, she quite excited and walked around the market happily. There are many food stalls, a girl walked and looking at the food stalls. A man came nearby, he could not see us.
“Ah, please, be careful” said Ilario while pulling a girl to him, she nearly bumps into a man. “I could made you invisible by vision but your body did not transparent, you could bump into anything.”
“Thank you” said a girl, her face a bit red.
A girl continued to walk around the food stalls, she stopped at a candy stall with interesting. There are several color of cotton candies showing at the stall.

“Do you want one? What flavor do you like? I will get it for you,” said Ilario.
“I like Strawberry, I would like to get the pink one.” A girl said and smiled.
Ilario buy a cotton candy and a glass of water for her and led her to the resting area that have less of people. She ate quietly with happy face, she is quite cute when she eating a cotton candy. Ilario smiled without knowing himself.
“Is it your first time to come to the festival?” asked Ilario.
“Yes, my mother is really strict, I could not go out anywhere as I please,” said a girl feeling down a bit.
Ilario would like to change her mood, he looked around and saw a toy stall nearby, he thought that a girl might be happy with a cute bear doll.
“Please wait here for a moment” said Ilario.
Ilario went to toy stall and brought a cute bear doll, he also brought 2 masks, he thought of covering their face at the area which crowned of peoples.
Ilario went back to a girl, she ate all of cotton candy but still feeling down from last conversation.
“Please don’t be sad. I give you this one. When you feeling lonely, you could look at this bear doll and think of the memory of the festival here,” said Ilario kindly and smiled at her.
“Thank you. I have never received a bear doll for present once. I will keep it well,” said a girl happily.
“Do you want to see a show at center area?” asked Ilario.
“Yes,” smiled a girl.
“Ah before that, wearing a mask would be a good choice because there are crowned peoples, you might get hurt from invisible,” said Ilario and inactivated "Invisible" after both of them wearing mask.
The entertainment show is a play of the hero killing the king of monsters. “It’s enjoyable when it was a play but it’s not fun when It come to the real fight.” Ilario thought while turning to look at a girl, she seeing play seriously.
“Do you like the show?” asked Ilario.
“I like it but I have a thought of the feeling of the hero who killed the King of Monsters,” said a girl energetically.
Ilario and a girl continue to see the show, there is a kid selling white roses nearby, she looks young at 7-8 years old, wearing shabby cloths, looked pity, no one interesting in her. Ilario bought all of white roses in the basket, a kid happy and run out of that area.
“I think you may like it” said Ilario, he given all of white roses to a girl without knowing the meaning of flower.
“Thank you” she smiled bashfully but Ilario did not know the meaning of her expression.
The show end, Ilario and a girl walked around many stalls until the sunset.
“I think that you should go back now, the sky will be dark soon, I will take you back,” said Ilario.
The 3 men showed up nearby and came directly to their way.
“Ah...they came to look for me. Don’t worry they are my escort knights. Thank you for today, I have a good time because of you,” a girl said and smiled, she looks more charming when she smiled.
Ilario leaved before the knights reaching to a girl and went back to the elves’ village.
“Did you like her?” said Luna teasingly.
“Umm...I don’t know but I’m kind of happy when I stay with her,” said Ilario shortly.
“You know, we could read your mind” said Solaris teasingly.
“Hmm…What did you guys knew?” said Ilario bashfully, he tried to change subject.
“Haha…you will know yourself one day” said Solaris.
Ilario felt strange of himself, he did not even ask of her name. He has never felt in this way before, we walked around the festival together without any feeling of annoying. She was charming when she talked and smiled.
“Did I really fall for her? Come to think of it, I given her white roses…” thought Ilario bashfully.

The Paths of Magick
Credits: Story by Xcaliburnt. Cover Art by @Bervolart. Magick, the power to bend the laws of reality. All because of a mystical substance known as mana. Mages follow the Paths to achieve power, for there is no more addictive chase. Each Path winds and twists, forcing mages through the flames of adversity and challenge. Though the operative word is "path", the reality is far less straightforward. Instead of a road, Paths are like the branches of world trees, erupting into the heavens, intertwining, and ending in sharp snaps. Only the strongest reach the sky. There are several Paths, and many Ways to walk them—variations of the same Path, and like the stars, they are endless. Magick is the sacred flame that scours the fat, rendering the truest self. Superfluous flesh melting away to show the skeleton of one's being. A chance for ascension—apotheosis. Though not every mage works to godhood, if they survive long enough, It is inescapable. Witness the lives of those that tread the knife's edge of self-destruction. Each one intertwined in their search for answers, revenge, and, most of all: power. These individuals have all lost something precious—irreplaceable—and In search of filling the void left behind, they have taken up the mantle of a mage. Per aspera ad astra. Ad mortem vel divinitatis. (Through adversity to the stars. To death or divinity.) There is no consistent release schedule except my consistent inconsistency. Besides, there’s like a thousand pages worth of content, how can—you already read it? Goddamn. Oh, and there is a very long hiatus between volumes as I intend to edit and rewrite a lot. What to Expect: This story is progression fantasy, so expect a healthy dose of training. It's also heavy on slice of life, and it isn't entirely overarching-plot-driven. Expect characters to live their lives, and not always be on some quest to save the world. There's a lot of magic theory and discussion about it in the story. So, if you don't like impromptu lessons on sorcerous theory by traveling monster slayers, this might not be for you. But if you do like it, rejoice! For there is a lot of it. This is also heavy on prose, purple as a bruised eye. I use outdated, uneccesarily collegiate-level terms and play around with the writing style just for the heck of it. I find it fun to wax and wane poetic, and that might grate on you—I don’t plan to change this aspect of the Paths much if at all. Onto the viewer discretion is advised parts: This is grim-dark/ grim-heart. Take the tags seriously. There will be combat scenes that are brutal and horrifying. Fights to the death tend to be. This is a tale about medieval mercenaries (quite literal killers for hire), man-eating monsters, and eldritch gods beyond the material plane. Beside that, there will be traumatic events that are best left unread. I do not detail certain acts I find heinous enough, instead leaving some parts unwritten but still alludded to if not outright stated; there is simply no graphic narration thereof. This is not for the faint of heart.
