475 Mitchnew Interrogates (1/2)
Half Moon Village was nothing Desert Lily expected and while it was full of many things she didn't understand, the assassin immediately knew that there were extremely powerful individuals present. Not to mention, the thickness of mana in the air was something that would drive regular people insane early on.
What she did not expect was to see a regular human female in the village. Karris was surprised at the visitor but welcomed Truen and Mitchnew back.
”Welcome back,” she greeted warmly. ”Would you like me to make some tea for our guest?”
Mitchnew glanced back to Desert Lily and nodded. ”Please do. She's been wanting to see the village so if Seff isn't too busy perhaps you could take her around after a cup of tea.”
Karris laughed. ”I think he would love the excuse to escape lessons. Ever since Pepper started working on New Moon Village, my boy has been running in and out of the abyss. He's gotten so out of control now that even Ruth has to take the extra effort to nab him for a spanking. I've failed as a mother.”
Truen chuckled. ”Don't say that. He's a handful now but he's a good kid. We'll see him later, please get some rest. You shouldn't come here too often, it's not very safe.”
Desert Lily was about to ask why it wasn't safe but had no time when several daggers flew in her direction. She deflected them with ease and had to counter a water spell next. Truen was faster and carried Karris away while Mitchnew glared at the troublemakers.
”Run!” Leon yelped after looking at Mitchnew's glower. The dark elf was drenched from head to toe and she wasn't pleased.
Desert Lily didn't really stay to watch what happened to the misbehaving children because she heard their pained cries when Mitchnew caught up quickly. Instead, she followed Truen who led her to the base of a cliff where three small and homey huts were. Karris thanked Truen and was barely let down when a small blur tackled the archer who dodged swiftly.
The small blur crashed into the wall of the hut beside and Desert Lily flinched. That must have hurt. Then again, the speed of this young boy impressed her. She couldn't tell what kind of creature he was because he looked and behaved like a human at first glance until he pointed at her and asked who she was. Desert Lily caught sight of tiny fangs and her eyes widened.
Karris smacked her boy and scolded him harshly, making the rowdy boy appear very small and meek in front of his raging mother who apologised profusely to Truen and Desert Lily. Seff sulked and Truen shook his head.
