The sun of this planet was about to set down when Aster saw the battle signs that Alice left behind.
"I wonder what is the period of rotation of this planet, it was more or less noon when we entered the portal and I have only been looking for Alice for a couple of hours and yet the sun is about to set", he thought.
After Alice's incident Rya decided lo stop meditating for the time being, especially since now that this place wasn't a closed space for a secret realm, but a completely different world no one knew what kind of dangers might be lurking.
"The rotation is the same as the azure sky planet 24 hours, but your sense of time is distorted inside a dimensional tunnel, although it seemed like minutes… you probably spent almost a day traveling in the tunnel", she said.
Aster nodded.
"Well, that would explain why I feel so tired… and that makes me want to find Alice even faster, she probably left the tunnel before me so she has been alone in this stupid place for at least half a day or something like that".
He doubted for a second before asking.
"Rya, do you know what was that thing that tried to trick me before?".
"No, although it looked like a member of the wood race, unlike the ones I have seen before that one was not green but dark as if it was corrupted by something but it was capable of thinking and speaking so I don't know what it was… also wood race members are pacific and definitely don't eat flesh or blood".
Aster shook his head.
"It's okay, whatever it is, if it wants to harm me or any of you… the result will be the same anyway".
Rya smiled, during the past three years she witnessed Aster becoming more decisive, although he still had some troubles controlling the warlike and lascivious nature that his bloodline tried to impose on him, he had never been carried away by it.
"No matter what… his priorities are always us, that is something I really like about you", she thought.
The conversation was interrupted because after following the path of destruction left behind, Aster finally caught a glimpse of Alice, she was fighting against some kind of vines that were appearing from below the ground.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWith a flash he descended from the sky in front of Alice, he summoned a wall of Rigel's flames around both of them but contrary to what he expected the vines didn't keep their attack.
Alice was both happy that her brother found her and angry because the vines suddenly didn't want to fight, when even after all the times she destroyed them, they just kept coming again and again.
Seeing that the vines were not attacking anymore, Aster lowered the wall of flames but he didn't dispel them completely, Alice approached him and hugged his right arm before she kissed him.
"You sure took your time to find me", she said.
Aster smiled.
"You have no idea… by the way how many times I did it with you last night?".
"Mm?", Alice was a bit confused by his question but she took it as a compliment.
"I lost count after the 7th one, why? It has been less than one day and you already miss your big sister's embrace that much".
…
Aster pressed his lips against hers, before wrapping his right arm around her waist, this was his Alice.
"I did miss you but that was not the only reason to ask that, you see…".
He proceeded to tell his sister all what happened after they got separated in the dimensional tunnel, including the fact that some kind of creature tried to imitate her and that this was not a secret realm but another planet on who know what star cluster or maybe even another stellar system, as well as the difference in the time at which they arrived here.
Alice didn't seem to care about anything with the exception that something tried to harm her brother using her appearance.
"I'm already hating this planet; Rya doesn't know where we are?", she said.
Many things changed in the past three years, since Aster learned more about how to control the mind space, he managed to bring Rya's voice out from it, so even if they haven't seen her in person, all the girls already more or less knew her and have talked with her before.
Aster shook his head.
"No, in fact she didn't know what was the creature that attacked me".
Listening Alice's question, Rya answered.
"A lot of my information it's from a really long time ago, some new races appear while others perish as the time passes, I suggest you two to go to a place where information is sold, they will have the most important news of this planet and others that surround it".
Alice stretched her body while leaning against her brother.
"Sounds like a plan to me, it's getting late, should we continue or do we pass the night here instead?".
Aster let go of her for a moment before walking outside the circle of flames that was surrounding them in case the vines who were still near by suddenly decided to continue attacking.
He approached the vines and surprisingly they didn't attack him, although they moved around him as if they were evaluating him, for some reason they weren't hostile against Aster.
Alice was trying to figure out why those things that kept bugging her, didn't seem to mind her brother, she thought that maybe when she landed, she accidentally killed one of them or something like that.
"When I was using lightning trail, I saw some spots where the forest wasn't green but yellow, it was in one of those spots where that creature attacked me, unlike that thing, these vines are completely green"
"Rya told me that the creature seemed to be corrupted, so my guess is that since I killed the "invader", this vines who seem to act as some kind of self defense for this place… see me as an ally or at least doesn't consider me a threat".
Alice snorted.
"I didn't do anything to be attacked, this is discrimination humph".
Aster was amused by her reaction.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Perhaps I wasn't attacked by them since I only stopped for a couple of seconds over one three in the green area while the rest of the time, I travelled in the sky instead of walking in the forest unlike you", he said.
Aster saw the sky and there were still a couple of hours until night completely falls and before he descended to reunite with Alice, he already saw signs of civilization at less than 100 kilometers from their current position.
"Let's get out of the forest, until we get more information about this world it's not a good idea to be adventuring, besides I'm tired so we need to find a place to rest".
Alice nodded; she was about to ask him to carry her like a princess so her brother could use lightning trail to leave the forest when the vines as if they understood what Aster said lowered themselves like saying "go up".
…
Aster saw his sister's dissatisfied expression and he smiled before dragging her along, they both rode on top of the vine and as expected once they were sitting down over it, the vine started advancing right on direction to the exit of the forest.
Although there was enough space for Alice to sit next to her brother, how could she miss the chance to tempt him, she of course sat on his lap while making sure her ass pressed against his thing.
Feeling his brother getting hard she smiled.
"Seems like this big boy missed me a lot too ♥", she said before leaning her back against Aster's chest, one of the changes in her brother she liked the most, was that he was as tall as her now, so she could sit on his legs and it would not look weird like when he looked as a young boy.
Aster wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her neck a couple of times before stopping.
"Be a good girl and wait until we find a place to stay, we will have some fun later, okay?".
Alice turned her head and kissed him, although her intention was to excite her brother, she ended up feeling horny too.
"Fine, on any case you are going to give me lots of love since I'm the only one here".
Rya who was seeing Alice shamelessly moving her hips to rub her ass against Aster sighed.
"This pair of perverted siblings are going to make a lot of noise tonight again, whatever once he reaches the mortal transcending realm… he will make up for it", she thought.
The vine suddenly stopped and Aster frowned his eyebrows, they were at the outer Area of the forest but there were some people camping here, the problem was that… there were some cages besides the tents and he recognized one of the imprisoned people, it was one of Eric's followers from the Barbarian heart sect, Cade".
