It took a week for Azemo to transport the people of the Shrouded Path, back to demon territory. It was difficult moving such a large company of people and when they returned the surge of people caused a brief panic that was quickly stifled.
A couple of days later, after Azemo had passed out all the extra gear he had collected over his journey, Kaede returned with her squadron.
Shade flew proudly in the sky, letting his icy scales gleam in the sunlight as he led the procession of smartly marching soldiers. Once the soldiers ground to a halt they split down the middle creating a path for Kaede to walk down. She was in her Spear Goddess form and while her tail swished, her horn burned a fiery red.
Azemo laughed as he compared the previously rowdy bandits to the perfect soldiers before him.
"No time for jokes, Azemo, your master has some urgent news to report. A day behind us is an entire army."
