18 Run (2/2)
Koren was also surprised at the visit of the Chief and the matriarch, who he had only met once when he first arrived.
”Big sis, can you create a virtual image and try to pick up the sound, I want to know what they are talking about, it looks serious.” Koren asked Hope who was standing next to Haruki, dressing him up in a holographic clown dress.
”Yep, but you will need the Armor in Endoskeleton mode, get ready.” Hope replied.
Koren felt the same feeling again, the Endoskeleton Armor solidified under his skin, and the display appeared in his pupils, a hint of gold appeared in the outer walls of his pupils.

”Is this our only course of action, must we do this.” Asked the matriarch as she looked at her husband.
”We have no other choice. If we wait longer, then all is lost.” Replied the chief.
”Teacher, the other villages have agreed to do the same.” Said Sappa as he began pouring the tea in the 3 cups.
”Sappa, you are still young, you will join them.” Said Chief Ipnak, in a somewhat emotional tone.
”Teacher, you know I want to keep my promise and protect Haruki, but I can't abandon you and the village.” Said Sappa, as he handed Ipnak the tea cup.
”Nonsense, we will be fine, you must take the children and flee. The sword will remain with you, it cannot fall into their hand.” Said the Matriarch as she too took a cup and began to sip the tea.
”Tomorrow, you leave with the children, and go directly to the Raavi border. Stay in the border city of Kafir, there is a sizable human population there.” Said the Village chief, as he too took a sip.
”If… If by any chance we don't make it back, don't try to avenge us, just survive. And when the time is right, pass the sword on to Haruki, it is his birthright.” Murmured the Matriarch as she downed the remaining tea.
”I promised Sanam that I would treat her son as my little brother, even though he causes a lot of troubles, he's still good at heart. Don't worry teacher, he and all the other children will be safe.” Said Sappa as he put the empty cup down and bowed.
”We will go to the Oasis the day after tomorrow to meet up with the other 2 villages. The majority of the villagers will use what supplies we have and start the journey to the border.” Said Chief Ipnak.
”Dear, do you feel odd.” Asked the Matriarch.
”Now that you mention it, I do. Oh, Oh… Sappa what was in that tea, Oh” murmured the Chief, grabbing his tummy.
”Nothing this was just normal spiritual tea. It's never caused any… oh… oh” Sappa mumbled as he too started to feel the ache.
”Oh no, I have to go. Honey, you will have to excuse me.” Said the matriarch as she rapidly rushed out of the tent.
”These tea leaves are wet, I didn't add any water.” Said Sappa as he grabbed the remaining tea from the box.
The chief's face changed, he got up and without saying a word, rushed out of the tent.
”HARUKI!!” Yelled Sappa as he too couldn't hold it anymore, and rushed out like the wind.

Koren who had heard the whole exchange looked back to find both Enri and Haruki gone. Apparently Haruki had bolted the moment they started to sip the tea, and Enri had probably left much earlier.
”Koren, you better run off too, or do you want to get punished like chubby.” Yelled Hope, as Koren realized he was alone in the tent.
Koren turned around and ran out of the tent, he headed directly to the twin's tent.

”Big sis, you heard what they said, does that mean they are afraid that the Draconian's will attack the Oasis.” Asked Koren as he ran.
”That's what I would do, I mean the villages are supposed to be hidden right, so you just have to find the Oasis.” Replied Hope, sensing the gloom in Koren's voice.
”Big sis, is there any way we can help them. I know I am not strong enough, but I don't want to see so many people die again.” Asked Koren, with clear desperation in his voice.
”ah Koren. OK, there is something we can do, but first you must break through to level 9. After you break through to level 9, I will allow you to use the Armor's Combat Mode.” Replied Hope with slight reluctance.
”But sis, you said the Armor doesn't have enough power.” said Koren with confusion.
”True, it doesn't, but if we found the rest of the ore we found in those tunnels, we may have enough power. Also you have a lot of shards stored away, all of the chaotic energy has already been extracted by the Armor, and all that remains is pure spiritual energy. We will practice tonight and help you break through.” Said Hope.
”OK big sis, tonight I will breakthrough to Level 9.” Said Koren as he finally reached the twins tent.
