Chapter 378: § THAT IS WHY §
Chapter 125
Unexpectedly, that day was not any usual day in the town. The meadow that was filled with laughter, butterflies, and sunshine suddenly became a sight of hell. Children, animals, people were screaming, running, burning, and at worst they were trapped in the fire.
The older people could not pass through the flame that was eradicating the entire meadow and the forest and it was consuming things, livelihood, and houses. It was spreading so fast that everyone was in chaos.
They could not kill the fire or save their lives, mostly the children were all dying. If it was a simple flame, they could extinguish it with water but it was not, even magic and potions had no effect to resist the fire. Some sorcerers said that they had to ’kill’ the one who had caused the fire to stop it but they could not do it. That person was nowhere in sight.
Coincidentally, that very day, Yanarym sneaked out of the house to run and to play with the other kids. Matteo typically would not give any interest in the circumstance but while he was looking for Yanarym he felt Azkin’s presence in the middle of the catastrophe. In addition, the mark he left on Yanarym’s body was signaling him that she was in danger, and her location was on that fire.
When Matteo found out that Yanarym was in the middle of the fire, he stirred the sky and made it rain, the rain was so strong and heavy that the fire immediately perished. Matteo could not feel Azkin’s presence as soon as the fire was gone; he did try to look around but it was gone as well.
Then, he felt Yanarym’s weak life core, as if it was vanishing so he rigorously searched for her. Forgetting about Azkin’s presence, and it did not take long, he found her lying on the grass with three other kids. Two boys, and another girl. Matteo eased when he located her and was finally able to take a look around.
It was a massacre, many children lost their lives, some had major injuries, only four of them had made it safe and sound. If it wasn’t for his protection, Yanarym was meant to die.
Upon investigation, the kids pointed to Kraig as the reason for everything. They said, there was a fight between Kraig and Lyndon for a girl, either they were fighting for Tiana or Yanarym... it was unspecified. The four kids were always together. It was widely known that the four kids were always together if they were given a chance. Most of the time, it was only the three because Yanarym was always forbidden to play outside. It was said that there was a puppy love among them. But who was whose crush? It was hard to guess.
