Avon Ophyris
I saw my father coming out of the forest while carefully carrying a small animal with its large jaw. He put the little lynx on the ground and when he recovered his human form, he carried him and said some little words that I couldn't understand.
The little lynx turned into a girl, but it was not the girl who had entered the forest a few days ago. This girl had her skin glued to her bones and you could see that with the simplest breeze she would break. But that was not what surprised me the most, no, it did not surprise me enough that she had an arm in an unnatural position and three long lines on his back that were still bleeding.
What surprised me the most was that the girl who entered the forest a few days ago was about five years old, while the girl who came out looked ten. She had lost five years of her life in that forest for my mistakes, for saving my brother and I, she had paid with five years of her life.
I wanted to cry, but I didn't have the right to, I could only swear that from now on my life will be hers. I will make sure that she is safe, and I will fulfill the destiny that she imposes on me.
- Oh! Apparently, the little saint managed to survive in the forest. It is something that I did not expect. It's more interesting than I initially thought. Does this little thing have a name? - Bardo Arcaitz said with a surprised and almost honest look.
But you may notice a hint of greed in their eyes.
- Enya Ophyris, my daughter. -
-Oh, I see, I expect great things from her in the future. I am sure that we will meet again. Until then, I say goodbye, I wish you a safe journey back to the village. - He gave a polite smile and walked away on his way to his tribe.
