My Favorite Game Followed Me!

Chapter 42

The late afternoon sun cast a golden glow on everything that made the scenes outside the carriage truly something worth to be seen. At this moment, Anton almost expected Robin Hood to come out and ask them to join their band of merry men or for the unicorn from the animated film The Last Unicorn to suddenly appear accusing them of not seeing her for what she was, a unicorn instead they were seeing her as a regular horse and Anna insisting that we capture her for her very own pet. He suddenly took his lute from his inventory and played the theme song of the movie The Last Unicorn by the band America.

It was a magical film that opened his eyes as a young child to the magical world of fantasy because after seeing that movie, he looked for films, books, and animations that had similar themes. That led him to his favorite authors like David Eddings, Rober Jordan, L.E. Modesitt Jr, Barbara Hambly, Mercedes Lackey, and more. He was thankful that their local library had a huge fantasy books collection, and he was told by the librarian that it was donated by a deceased fantasy fanatic who gave a huge sum of money to the library with the condition that they would take care of his beloved fantasy books. He had always included that unknown man in his prayers.

After Anton sang the song Anna commented.

“That is such a poignant song brother. Is there a story behind the last unicorn in your song?”

“Yes. It was about a unicorn in a forest somewhere and she found out that she was the last since the other unicorn was hounded by a lonely old king that was using a magical red bull to gather all the unicorns in the world to drive them into the sea beside his castle so he can look at their beauty and marvel. The unicorn decided to

“You’re right son. How could I use an equipment effectively if I don’t have the experience? Since you will be able to recharge it, I will follow your suggestion.”

Anders then went into the forest holding the wand.

“I want to use it too,” Anna muttered.

“Maybe Father will allow you to once he is done enjoying it and once we reached a city and earned a lot of gold coins maybe we could buy another magical wand.”

Anton fed the horses and watered them using the water that he conjured from his spell Glacial Spike then he brushed their coat while the Prayer Aura was active. He could see that the horses were starting to greatly favor him being affectionate and all. He also liked Maide and Bailey and knew that he would not be able to part with them.

After a while, Anders came back dragging a huge boar.

“The wand is extremely useful! Just three hits and the boar died. I’m going to dress this boar and you put it with the others.”

Anders dressed the boar in no time and Anton kept it together with the others in his private stash. They then ate their dinner while listening to the sound of the sputtering fire. While they were eating, Anton activated the Prayer Aura to make sure that his family would remain healthy, and the spell also relaxed them and made their sleep truly restful.

“It’s still early son. Can you play a song for us?”

Anton played and sang several songs mainly pop and country songs. He made sure to select those songs without any form of technology in the lyrics that could be misunderstood. After he sang three songs, he stopped for a bit to rest.

“The songs you sing are mainly love songs. Why is that?” Anna asked.

‘Those are the only songs I know. I know that most bards and minstrels have a wide variety of songs that tell different stories but unfortunately, I’m not really a bard or a minstrel.”

“That’s okay brother, your songs are beautiful, and you do know other songs. The one that you sang earlier, The Last Unicorn was not a love song and that other one as well about a man who missed his country, that’s not a love song.”

“You’re right Anna. You’re so smart!”

“I know I am that’s why I’m sure I can also be a wizard so you and Father would have to find me a teacher once we reach a city.”

Anders and Anton laughed and promised her that they would find her a magic teacher. Anders then asked his children to rest so they could leave early the next day.
