He smirked; that child would probably take anything that he would say. He sighed softly, only offering his smirk before saying: “I’m Mekör.” He looked around, and coughed. “It is quite…gruesome around here. We should take shelter before doing anything.” Then he looked down at Naddel once again. “Tell me; why are you out here? Younglings like you doesn’t have their place in a zone like this.” He let his sword unsheathed, feeling the dark auras surrounding them, close, but the darkness that surrounded them made that neither they or those two sees each others. The little flames on the tip of his fingers were the only source of light that there was, appart from the moon and its stars.

         Looking upward, "Hopefully, it doesn't look too serious but when she wakes up it isn't going to be the brightest day ever, also for further use my name is Naddel!" The roaring and hissing of the demons had stopped about a minute ago, so by guessing he said that the demon's had probably gone to hiding. Tapping the side of Kumiko, saying "If you're still alive, then hopefully, you'll wake up."

The sun starts to bleed through, making everything glow like it did the day before. Starting to think about Mary, his horse, when he got it from the stalls, whenever he saw the horse, whenever they said that the horse was injured, and that they were giving the thing away for free as it was too injured and was most likely going to die.

He looked as though he was so familiar, Acicia just couldn't put her finger on it. She wanted to ask him, but she knew she had to be cautious. If she drew attention to him, she would also be drawing attention to herself. As soon as she turned her head to face forward, she saw Orion, her bodyguard, on a horse next to her.

“We don’t have to discuss this now, I’d prefer not to, but there will be a price to pay. Your father will understand, your mother…” he seemed to finish mid-sentence, as if he was waiting for a response. She shrugged, and replied, "Orion, I'm not only part of the royal family, but i have another title as well. I mean, Orion, if you think about it, what do you think those tests i've endured have proven? I need to do what is right, what is my duty. I don't care if i put myself in danger, at least i'm doing it for a good reason. I mean, Orion, isn't that why you became a knight yourself?"
She stared at him, this time, waiting for his response. She glanced backward for a moment to see if the man was still following them, which he was. Did Orion know who he was? She would ask him later.
