Once they reached the city, just like he thought, Lori was there and looking among the warriors for him, until she spotted him. Even if he was wearing a helmet now.

He could see on her eyes relief, but it was momentary lived as it soon changed to a look of hurt and anger.

She was coming to him, but then she stopped, and didn't know what to do, until he got out of the cart along with Lucy and went to greet her.

”This is my friend Lucy, and Lucy this is Lori also my friend, first friend actually” Ned then introduced the girls to each other.

In the place where the demon general had died, and even if they had collected his body, shadows converged and twisted until they changed shape to a black crow.

The crow then flew in the air in the direction of the inner forest.

This crow was the ability of the clan of the demon that had died. When they die, all the shadows near would change into a animal, and bring the news of those who died to their families.

The crow would travers the forest and then head to the ocean and into it's home continent.

Usually to exchange news everybody would use magic scrolls, and the surviving few demons would have done it already the very day the demon died.

However, this ability of the clan, wouldn't just exchange news but it would rather show the image of who killed them.

And since the clan's ranking and prestige would be lowered with this defeat, Ned and his company who killed the demon would suffer from the clans endless pursuit of redeeming their honor.

......

Deep inside the forest of secrets.

There was a beautiful frozen lake, where even the surrounding flowers and trees were frozen, giving the place a sort of enigmatic charm.

At the depths of this lake.

A being that was slumbering for the last centuries, was stirring awake, because the time had come for it to do as the prophecy detailed.

With a closer look the being turned out to have female features.

She had already perceived the existence of the destined one, and it was now time for her to fulfill her duty.
