Book 6: Chapter 52
Luna didn’t go far. These small tribes are usually at the border. Vyvyan can’t reach them that way. They were next to humanity so it only took Luna an afternoon to get there. Luna was now fleeing in this direction. We were marching rapidly so Luna should be in sight within three hours.
If Luna is in danger, this pendant in my hand will flash red. It’s essentially Luna’s heart rate monitor basically. Mom tied this pendant with that necklace. As long as Luna is still carrying that necklace I’ll receive signals that she’s still alive.
The red light was flashing rapidly right now like an emergency light. That meant that Luna’s heart rate was just as fast. She must be running with all she has. I don’t know why she’s running but what I know for sure is that there are pursuers behind her.
Did their negotiations break down or did Luna do something wrong?
I don’t know the reason nor do I want to know right now. I just want Luna to be safe and sound. Whether they die or live afterwards is none of my concern. I can do without them if I had to choose between them and Luna. Worst case scenario, I just won’t run this business. I’ll come up with something else. There are countless ways for a city to make income, but I only have one Luna.
I will not let Luna get hurt because of my order. I must rescue Luna.
All of us shook when we entered the warm elven environment since we couldn’t adapt to the warm and moist forest when we just came from a place with cold winds. The horses stepped over withered grass and dew formed on the horse hooves. The light from the sky informed me that it was soon going to be daylight.
“Be prepared for battle once we get over this hill up ahead!”
I turned around and shouted an order to the troops behind me. I don’t think anyone would’ve heard me if I didn’t shout over the sounds of the horse hooves. The soldiers shouted back to respond upon hearing my order. They all reached behind their backs and grabbed hold of their gun-handles.
