Chapter 19 - Shadow empress Elene (1/2)

New world. Unknown Island.

Two women were walking on a road while the surrounding men ogled at them and the females envied them wishing they had their figures and beauty. But if you payed attention, you'll notice there was a hint of fear in deep in their eyes.

It was only natural that the men would look at them with l.u.s.t. As they were absolutely stunning.

The first one, stood at 5' 7"/170cm tall, this pale skinned woman has a sweet and innocent feel about her. Her eyes contained boundless warmth.

She has a round face with a cleft chin, a large nose, and puffy lips. Her light green eyes are large and she has fine eyebrows.

She has shoulder-length, thick, medium dark green hair which is un-styled. But it did not diminish any of her beauty. She was wearing green leather shorts and black small heeled boots and a black crop top which exposed her navel showing a silver piercing in it. Above all she was wearing a black sleeved open coat.

She has weak arms and small hands, a short torso with defined muscles, angular h.i.p.s, toned legs, and average-sized feet.

She has a realistic tattoo of a dragon on her right forearm. She carried a sheathed dagger on each side of her waist.

Crazy eyes. Stella.

This was the name this woman was known by.

While the woman next to her was even taller than her.

Standing at 5' 9"/ 175cm tall, this pale skinned woman has a cold air of indifference about her.

She has a round face with a rounded jaw, a small nose, puffy lips, and her light blue eyes are round.

Her sunflower blonde hair, streaked with shades of slate, is mid-back length, fine and is neatly braided.

She has arms that appeared stronger than her companion, very large b.r.e.a.s.ts, with a narrow waist, strong legs, and average-sized feet.

Unlike her friend, she was wearing decent clothes, a white long sleeved shirt with no defining feature, black pants, and similar to her friend, white short heeled boots.

She had a gun tucked in its holster on her right thigh. While she was carrying an unknown long object covered with a cloth on her shoulder.

She was known as Shadow empress. Elene. But it was not her real name.

The two of them along with a third person, were known bounty hunters in the new world. They had frequently hunted pirates with large bounties reaching 500-600 million berry.

They all had teamed up to hunt pirates. And only the other two knows of Elene's real name.

'We should go meet Bert soon. Sigh if only the humans in here are not so racist… I'm glad I got to know Stella' Elene thought to herself while glancing at her close friend.

Feeling her stare, Stella turned to look at her.

"What is it Elene?" she curiously asked her friend.

"Nothing I'm just glad someone like you exist in this world." Elene said with a smile.

And hearing this Stella jumped at her friend hugging her while letting a cute giggle escape her lips.

"Ehehe I'm glad I got to meet you too" she rubbed her cheeks on Elene's and had a smile on her face.

Elene slapped the back of her friend's head and admonished her, but she had a fond smile on her face.

"What are you doing, can't you notice these creepy guys already ogling us due to how thin your clothes are, you want to give them more?" Elene said.

"Ah, I'm pretty sure they are staring due to how beautiful you are." Stella once rubbed the pain off her head spoke with a hand on her shin like a detective.

"Cut it out we should not make Bert wait any longer." Elene said raising her hand threateningly. To which Stella hurriedly nodded her head and started leading the way.

Soon they reached a part on the island that was far from the city. It was full of trees, and had a house built in it. It was a house they had built to stay in. it had been two months since they started staying here.

Stella and Bert didn't know why, only that Elene said she was waiting for someone to come to the new world. This island was in the begging of the new world. So that person's news was bound to reach here. After which they will go find him.

Once they came near, Elene turned to look at the trees. Stella also looked but she could not see anything special. She only felt a very faint feeling of a presence.

"As expected of you Elene." Bert said as he jumped from a tree.

'There was no one there just now… no matter how many times I see it, it still surprises me… and people think they are above this race? Hah what stupidity…' Stella thought inside her mind. She and Bert were close friends, but not as close as she was to Elene. And similarly Bert was more close to Elene than to her. After all Elene had saved them when they were in their weakest moments…

Standing 7' 6"/ 229cm tall, Bert had a respectful feel about him. A particularly notable feature is his lazy eyes and his body covered in fur, and he has a large burn mark on his neck which he always avoids telling the story for. This place is the sole place on his body to which no fur grows.

He was a lion mink. From the mink tribe.

His body was muscular but not burly. A trait different than the usual lion mink types. He had a short sword strapped to his left waist.

He was wearing boots reaching to his knees and a baggy pants in white color that went into the boots. On the top he was wearing a white shirt that was a bit bigger than his size. He preferred it that way, as if it was sticking to his body it will be hotter for him, which is something all minks dislike.

Bert usually stayed in the house, or when Stella and Elene went out in the forest hiding his presence and guarding the house.

It was for the reason why Elene said that people in here were racist. The minks were treated in here as Slaves.

"How is it, is there any news?" he asked to Elene in a respectful tone.

"No…" Elene sighed. She was getting a bit frustrated about this.

"Then we will keep waiting in here." Bert noticed this but still replied and went inside the house. He was going to cook them some of their favorite food to eat and cheer them up. Despite his look, he was a very good cook.

"How confident are you that he will come?" Stella had a serious look and asked her friend. She too was getting frustrated. After all it was two months now.

"I don't know… but I have a strong feeling that he will come soon." Elene replied and after a while she got her bearings back and gave a smile to her friend and then headed inside too.

'I'm glad to see you have not lost your confidence… I don't want to see you sad…' Stella thought inside her head and smiled gently before following inside too.
