”Hey, Andre! Where are you going?” A guard stopped them when they were heading to the exit. ”It's late at night, go back and sleep!” He waved his hands, asking Angele and Fra to leave.
”Wed, you're in the patrolling team too?” Angele smiled. ”This is a relative of mine, she came here to visit and I want to send her back. You know that the masters and knights from the church are here. I can't believe that there are wizards in my town... I decided to find a safer place to stay for now.”
”Yeah, you made a wise decision, I'd leave the town with my family too if I had a choice.” Wed nodded and rubbed his nose.
”You'll be examined at the bridge, we want to make sure that the wizards are still in the town. Alright, you can leave now. Just be careful, it's late.”
”Sure, thank you.” Red light flashed in front of Angele's eyes, he activated his illusion ability for a second.
Fra remained silent. They started heading to the bridge again.
They reached the bridge and saw what the examination was. It was a silver cup with clean water inside.
A red glow appeared on the surface of the water, however, he already activated his illusion ability, and no one saw the changes, including Fra. The guards did not say anything when they passed.
Angele grabbed Fra's hand after the walked over the bridge and sent a message to Vivian using the communication rune.
”I'm leaving.”
”Take care of yourself. You should've left 100 years ago.” Vivian's voice echoed in Angele's ears.
”Mother—”
”Don't,” Vivian interrupted before Angele was going to send anything else. ”You have a bright future. I don't have enough energy particles to keep my appearance young; I don't want you to witness me getting old.”
Angele remained silent and sent one last message.
”I'll come back for you.”
He collected a lot of daily supplies for Vivian over the years, including the special grass that could block one fatal attack. The grass was gifted to him by Vivian but Angele did not need it anymore.
Vivian's life was ending—that was why she decided to stay in the town. The First Elder and the Second Elder were in a similar situation, they all wanted to pass away somewhere peaceful.
”Let's go.” Angele and Fra turned around. They stepped on the only path that could lead them to other areas of this world.
He knew that Vivian would feel better if he was not around when she got old; also, Vivian did not want to become Angele's burden.
Fra looked at the town for one final time and started walking while dragging the case forward.

In a small house with a garden in the front.
Vivian packed up her belongs and outfits, standing by the entrance of the garden. She put a lot of efforts into the garden.
”Green wasted too much time on me… I should go and fulfill my last wish now…” she muttered.
The man with a handsome face and long hair never left her heart.
”Teacher, I'll find you…”
She picked up the brown travel case, opened the gate, and disappeared into the darkness.
**************************
Seven days later…
The red leaves on the trees formed a large red carpet on the ground.
Under the bright sunlight, there was a caravan traveling down a path in the forest slowly. The caravan looked like a long white caterpillar.
The wheels of the carriages were rolling on the grounds, horses were neighing. The coachmen were whipping the horses from time to time.
On the last carriage of the caravan, there were two outsiders lying in it. The outfits they were wearing differed from the uniforms of the merchants. It was Angele and Fra. They paid to join the caravan and brought two brown cases with them.
The caravan was advancing slowly. A large lake appeared on their right after they traveled for a while; the water looked golden due to the reflected sunlight.
The red trees around the lake looked like a circle of red flowers; there were swans moving on the surface of the water slowly. There were also small birds following after the swans, the place was quite noisy.
The wind was nice and warm. Angele inhaled deeply, he could smell the fragrance of baked goods in the air.
”Fra, how many silver coins do we have?” he asked.
”We have 32 silver coins and four bronze coins,” Fra, who was lying in the carriage, responded quickly. ”We spent most of our money to get on the carriage. If we don't have a source of income, we'll starve for over three months; there's still a long way to go.” It seemed like she was still recovering from the death of her family but she felt better. She was now acting like a servant of Angele.
”Don't worry…” Angele smiled. The sapphire ring in his pouch was vibrating slightly.
He knew that the ring was sending signals to the church; that was what he needed—he wanted to drive the people from the church away. However, it seemed like the signals were unstable, the ring would only release some signals sometime during the afternoon every day.
”It's about time.” Angele took out the ring and threw it out of the window without being noticed by Fra.
The sapphire ring drew a line in the sky and dropped into the lake.
”Did you throw something outside?” Fra looked at the lake with confusion on her face.
”Nothing.” Angele shook his head. ”What are you planning recently? You always go to the forest after finishing the food. Aren't afraid of the wolves?”
