Kaden carried the blank Deric all the way over to the borders. Thankfully, they had spies there that helped them slip out easily.
Sitting inside a vegetable cart, Kaden silently glanced at Deric and Deric glanced back with a blank stare. It has been two days since Fang passed away, yet he was still in a dazed state.
"Deric...."
His blank eyes rolled over to him.
Kaden gently patted his hand. "We shall make them pay.... but I can't afford to lose you too. Eat this," he pushed a piece of hard bread into his clenched fist. "Deric... please, eat something. You haven't eaten anything for three days. If this goes on...."
"I don't deserve this..." Deric mumbled and handed the bread back to him. "I have failed him. I have failed us all,"
"We still have a chance, Deric. We can always go to the demon nation's borders... we can.."
"No, we should go back to the dark forests. Eru might be worried," Deric mumbled softly.
