My Soul card is a Reaper-Chapter 365 Azzy Goes On A Date With Leah (Part-2)
For the next hour, Azzy and Leah went for several water rides. As Vajra loves swimming, it had joined them, which displeased Leah at first as it was supposed to be their date. But then again, as Azzy appeared to be forgotten about the challenge, she let out a sigh and tried to enjoy the water rides with the boy and his wolf.
Once they were done with the water park, Leah took Azzy to the zoological park, forgetting about the time limit. Maybe, Azzy had also forgotten about it. He simply followed her and visited several animals.
More than the water park, Azzy liked this one more because of varieties of animals. Usually, in the wild zones of Arcana World, he only sees the beasts, which are hostile to humans and vice versa. But, here, even the lion appeared to be quite docile.
After that, they visited a historical theme park, which entirely covers the 100 million years of history of Tartalonia, starting with the fossils of dinosaurs and other ancient era beasts that are as powerful as rank-6 beasts even during the absence of soul energy, then the pre-apocalypse era where the human civilization at their peak, and finally ending up with the formation of the nation by acquiring independence from Freyles, roughly about 7256 years ago.
Some of them are just projections, some are real fossils, and some are manmade constructions to preserve their history. Just strolling around this entire place took a couple of hours for them.
By now, it was already evening. Azzy had lost track of time as he was absorbing the knowledge of new things. On the other hand, Leah realized that they spent a lot of time than she expected.
However, as Azzy didn't complain a bit, she decided to continue their date. After they strolled around the ever-popular Disneyland, she finally took him to the Horror theme park, which she had never visited before.
Standing at the entrance, she gulped a bit in nervousness as she stared at the gloomy atmosphere, "I heard that they employ the real ghosts."
Azzy knew that lost spirits exist like that Demigod Amerys but ghosts? He had only seen them in movies. He doesn't really believe them.
But, based on speculations, he knew that he can't dismiss such a fact. So, naturally, he turned to his trusted Arcana for clarification. Unfortunately for him, there was no response. From his silence, Azzy understood that the answer is quite complex.
He doesn't know what it was but since he was already here, Azzy put away his doubts and entered the theme park.
Because it will be opened after the sunset, they were one of the first customers to enjoy what the park had to offer. Of course, before entering, they made Azzy and Leah sign a form, in which the staff will not be responsible for anything that happens to them.
Whether it is real or just trying to scare them is something to think about. After all, they aren't adults who sealed their soul orbs. For others, Azzy and Leah are just normal teenagers, probably a campus couple. So, they should be warned if it is really dangerous. 𝑓re𝘦𝔀𝗲𝘣𝘯𝘰νℯ𝒍.c𝗼ｍ
Soon, Azzy and Leah stepped inside and the surroundings changed to that of a forest. The hootings of owls and howlings of hyenas were heard in the surroundings. Azzy couldn't guess how big the forest was. It looked endless. 𝙛𝘳𝘦e𝓌e𝗯n𝗼ѵ𝙚l.𝒄𝚘𝑚
To enjoy the feeling of the horror, Leah grabbed Azzy and changed the directions from the other customers who entered with him. The moonlight dimly lit the surroundings. So, the customers could atleast see.
Before entering, the staff told them to find one of the exit doors to escape the first place and to enter the real fun part.
For Azzy and Leah, it was a simple task but neither of them bothered to use the powers that come with Arcana Masters as they decided after coming to the city. But then again, they can't do anything with the alertness that was instilled into them.
As a result, when something brushed past Azzy's back, he unknowingly caught the arm and swung it down without thinking.
"Ugh…"
A man dressed in wolf's fur groaned in pain as his back hit the ground. Just from that exchange, he already realized that Azzy is an Arcana Master. Lying on the ground, he pointed in a direction as he begged them, "Don't hurt me. The portal is that direction."
"Oops, sorry about that," Leah gave him a helping hand. The staff got up on his feet, "It's alright. I was the one at fault, I guess… Ugh…"
Grabbing his back, he slowly left the place, making Leah stare at him as she put hands on her waist, "Azrael. You took away all the fun."
"Did it in reflex," Azzy looked away in embarrassment. Well, technically, it wasn't his fault. So, there's nothing to apologize for.
Letting out a sigh, she said, "let's go." They started walking in the direction the staff member pointed.
From time to time, both of them felt that something has gone through behind their backs. But, the earlier incident with the staff member made them lose that eerie feeling around.
Soon, they found the portal and got outside of the forest only to end up in the middle of a graveyard with disfigured humans roaming around. The other customers were screaming in fear but Azzy didn't feel much.
"Why do I even enter this stupid place? I should have spent more at the museum." Azzy found the historical theme park more fun than this. The staff members might have transformed themselves with zombie makeup but he had witnessed so many ugly-looking monsters that these zombies don't even appeal that much.
On the other hand, Leah started shivering. Azzy had realized her state only after she grabbed his arms tightly. Feeling softness at the tip of his elbow, Azzy saw it and blushed in embarrassment. He wanted to free his arm but Leah grabbed it very tight and spoke in a high pitch, "they look disgusting and scary."
Having no choice, he decided to not think about it and just focused on something else instead.
Seeing how she shut her eyes, Azzy felt like he had witnessed a new side of Leah.
"Cute," a thought appeared in his head, and because of complete suppression of his soul orb, he had emotions unlocked and unknowingly let out a laugh, "the mighty princess of Camelot fears manmade zombies?"
She raised her head to look at him. As they were standing close, their faces also became closer. Her cheeks and ears turned red in embarrassment. She jumped away in reflex, only to bump into someone.
"Ah, I'm sorry…" She turned around and apologized only to find a zombie, which looked like many parts of its skin were peeled off.
"Kyaaa…" Like a scaredy-cat, she jumped back to Azzy and grabbed him again. She looked like a completely different person, right now. One should laud makeup artists who did it. It looked so real that as long as one doesn't look very closely, the customer will feel as if their fleshy skin was real.
It wasn't that Leah was a coward or something. It's just that she had nightmares since childhood upon watching horror films along with her mother. She wanted to take this opportunity to remove that fear but even with Azzy's presence, it was difficult to win over it, although to some extent, she felt better when grabbing Azzy's arm as support.
She was here as a part of the challenge to make him fall for her but instead, she only showed her cowardly side to him.
