Chapter 83: Lovesickness (2)
The Hound of the Night has returned.
By the time Vikir returned to Balak's village, the Red Death had spread across the lands.
Balak built a house on the water and built a dam to trap the water, so the damage was small, but the conditions of other neighboring tribes were truly miserable.
Ahun was the first to come out when he heard that Vikir had returned.
He ran up to him, his face full of tears, and as soon as he saw Vikir, he threw himself into his arms.
"You're back!"
Ahun had been visibly shaken for days.
He had barely eaten or slept since his only sister, Ahul, had fallen ill with the Red Death, and all he had done was care for her.
Ahun took Vikir's hand through thick tears.
"Thank you for coming back. You are a loyal boy. It's okay if you didn't get the cure, just the fact that you came back like this...."
They seemed to misunderstand because Vikir had come empty-handed.
