On their way back to the lodge, Velian noticed that the yards kept running in the direction where the demonic being is still dying.
"Looks like we are not the only people suffering from these strange creatures,"
Daphnia also took a closer look and nodded her head agreeing with Velian. She didn't have any strength in her body after all the things she did, but seeing the object that harmed her son once, she couldn't help but push her limits and attack in anger.
"Kyla, I realised one thing when I was fighting that enemy, one thing that I kept avoiding because of the rest," Amos said while holding his hand in pain.
"I realised that my death didn't scare me when I got wounded only thing I could think was my regrets about not confessing things to Ellena and her brother,"
He said with a smile which really looked like he was in a conflicting situation.
"So are you going to do it?" Kyla asked.
"I will, even if they refuse me as their stepfather, I will confess everything,"
While Kyla and Amos were talking, they arrived at the destroyed lodge where Ellena was waiting for them.
"It is surrounded by guards, what do we do now?" Daphnia questioned seeing the main door of the lodge.
Kyla was worried Velian will decide to fight, but instead, he wanted to avoid the conflict and reduce Ellena and her brother without letting the kingdom question them.
"They must be in their room, you three wait here, I will bring two of them," Leaving those words, Velian sneaked from the other side of the lodge and took a huge leap at the window, which was closest to the floor they used to stay in.
"What a waste!" Looking at the destroyed lodge and the owner who was in despair, Velian quickly sneaked through the all guards and managed to arrive at the room that is locked.
There were a few guards that kept knocking on the door while shouting at Ellena to open it, but she did as Velian ordered her to do and waited for them to come back.
"Open this door, right now," One of the soldiers almost hit the door with a force enough to damage it.
"Brat! This is an emergency, we are not your enemies, open this door,"
And others also had displeasure faces because there were too many things for them to deal with and they didn't have time to listen to the complaints of a kid.
As the soldiers continued to bang on the door, their frustration growing by the second, Velian knew he had to act quickly. He took a deep breath and gathered all his strength before charging towards the door.
With a swift kick, Velian slammed the door open, sending the soldiers stumbling backwards. They were taken aback by Velian's sudden attack, but quickly regained their composure and drew their weapons.
But Velian was ready for them. He was an expert in hand-to-hand combat and knew how to take down multiple opponents at once. In a flurry of punches and kicks, he swiftly incapacitated the guards in front of the door, rendering them unconscious.
Ellena looked on in amazement as Velian single-handedly took down the soldiers. She knew that she had made the right decision in trusting him. Velian turned to Ellena, a fierce determination in his eyes.
"Come on, we need to leave now," he said, gesturing for Ellena and her brother to follow him. They quickly made their way out of the building and into the night, leaving the unconscious guards behind.
As they ran through the dark streets, Ellena couldn't help but feel grateful for Velian's quick thinking and bravery. She knew that they still had a long way to go, but with Velian by her side, she felt like they could conquer anything.
"What happened to our leader? Is he okay?" While walking through the streets, Ellena couldn't help but ask.
She knew that the monster that attacked them was powerful and it wasn't something they should be fighting, but as soon as Velian said everything that happened. They couldn't help but feel grateful.
"Thank you, my lord, for helping our leader," Ellena's brother said with a grateful tone, and Ellena also nodded her head.
"Thank you accepted," With a smile, he said, and looked at them with a serious look.
"Let's just meet with them for now, I don't think we will be able to find another place to sleep because of this incident,"
Ellena and her brother stumbled through the dark streets, led by Velian. They had been searching for Amos and Kyla for what felt like minutes, and Ellena's anxiety only grew stronger with each passing moment.
Finally, they spotted a clearing ahead, and Ellena's heart skipped a beat. She broke into a run, leaving her brother behind, and soon found herself enveloped in Amos's strong arms.
"Amos! I was so scared about you!" Ellena exclaimed, her voice trembling with emotion.
Amos hugged her tightly and replied, "I'm alright, Ellena. We were waiting for you to come back. I knew you'd find us."
Kyla stepped forward and gave Ellena a warm smile. "I'm glad you made it back safely. What happened out there? Why were you late? We couldn't stay near the lodge because guards asked us to go back."
Ellena took a deep breath and began to recount their harrowing experience in the lodge. Velian had saved them from a group of soldiers and then guided them back to Amos and Kyla.
As Ellena spoke, Amos listened intently, his eyes filled with concern for his stepdaughter and stepson. When she finished, he took her hand and said, "You're safe now, Ellena. We'll make sure nothing like this happens again."
Ellena smiled, relieved to be back with her family. "Thank you, Amos. I don't know what I would do without you."
As they walked back to their camp, Amos put his arm around Ellena's shoulder and held her brother's hand.
Looking at them, Kyka felt a little tingle in her heart because this is what she wanted for the longest time for them.
"Amos, I hope you won't go back on your words," Kyla said, but none of them saw the black spots, that kept appearing from Amos' wounds at that time.
