Chapter 21 - CHAPTER 21: THE RAPTURE (NEW EDITION)

KEKI also that, respects that you want not to leave the cave, though, you should know that it is a temporary place, they will not last long there, so you will have to accompany them wherever they go, at least for a while, then help you get home.

However, it makes you see that you must leave without fear, all of them will protect you at all times, in addition, there is food and your body needs to take energy as they must continue to travel.

The young lady hesitates for a while.

KEKI tells her that she should come down, if the young woman is not yet ready, then she will bring food for her.

But, you must accept something.

The world is full of wonderful things and full of too cruel things, it is a matter of fighting to live what we desire in our lives.

If we stay in misery or try to go out into the world to live it.

This catches the girl's attention.

KEKI rises without looking at the young woman, silently moving towards the exit.

She's standing at the entrance for a moment.

Quietly.

The young woman gets up too, she is surprised to notice that she has energy to support her body.

Gradually he is looking at his hands, his arms and legs.

There are no wounds on his body.

KEKI looks down as she hears the young woman's sound of wonder.

KEKI, apologise, she can heal people's bodies, but not their hearts.

You can't help her with that.

KEKI starts dating and the young lady tells her to wait for her, she'll go with her.

KEKI smiles.

Everyone is amazed to see the girl coming down the cave, KEKI is with her, he stops her as she is somewhat weak, being surprised to look at them, they turn the other way, hiding.

Arriving next to the campfire, OKE tells the young woman that, she is glad she is a little better.

They start serving the soup on plates in the wagon, there are forks not spoons, so, improvise when eating.

They hand out the dishes, the young lady sits on one of the stones nearby.

They're eating in silence.

OKE is the one who breaks the silence, tells them about the sunrise he saw today with INKU.

TOIRE drinking from his plate looks at INKU, which when he feels his gaze, makes an angry gesture, which makes TOIRE laugh.

After a while, INKU asks the girl by name.

She a little surprised, takes a break and stops eating for a moment.

She presents name is ESU, she is a healer, from the village of healers.

It is a village known for many given its medicinal services and is respected in the surroundings.

INKU shows a lot of interest in ESU, OKE seeing how the sight looks, is a little encelaus.

TOIRE tells you not to ask you specific things, which will be ready for when you want to talk.

ESU somewhat self-conscious, says no problem.

Her hands begin to shake little by little, she tries to control herself so as not to throw away the plate.

Everyone notices, KEKI gets out of place.

Actually, those men (she shudders with fear for a moment), KEKI puts her hand on her shoulder and reassures her, she doesn't need to talk about it right now.

ESU controlling herself a little and taking encouragement tells her that perhaps if, indeed, she feels safer now, ESU narrates that, in the afternoon, a roar of horses and beasts was heard, everything happened very quickly, many men and beasts attacked her village, she was captured inside her house, she was in her room, when she left the He saw his father, who had locked the door of his house and looked at her somewhat desperately, as he asked him to calm down, he enlisted the knives of the house, telling him, if necessary, to use his power if measuring consequences.

Soon they came to his house, those rumbles outside his door.

A few rammings were enough to break through the door, in an instant, a creature would come in killing its father.

In his village, men are peasants and in the day there are only women, children and the elderly left, who take care of the healings and preparation of concoctions, of all, always return one, to bring food to others, that day he had touched his father, he noticed the invaders and they killed him, and that poor girl... his gaze gets out of control, trembles too much as his tears sprout.

KEKI removes the dish from its hands and puts it on the ground.

She holds ESU's hands.

The young woman continues: they... They killed her... she cries and takes a break to continue, her future husband must be looking for her and only God knows what she's up to, there are horrible monsters all over the area and these thugs let them through.

TOIRE, keeping his distance, swells in front of her, in a calm voice tells her that her boyfriend, will find her and despite all those beasts, he will survive because he loves her.

She, moved, lets a sad smile be entertained.

Also, she clarifies that, her future husband is actually her friend, the marriage commitment was agreed from before she was born.

ESU cleanses your tears and the atmosphere feels less heavy.

KEKI doesn't understand, is that why they're getting married?

ESU comments that in their people there are no choices, all men are noble and productive, they only heal those who need it.

His marriage ties are sacred, so as to convey the legacy of his blood.

KEKI, rising, comments that, according to the writings, the blood of the women in his village is so valuable that he is able to revive a dead man, who is as pure as that of a unicorn.

TOIRE looks at KEKI and ESU, who looks down, tells him yes, he's heard that, but, there's a price.

ESU replies that in such a case it is not enough to just a little blood, it is life for life. you make a silence.

OKE says he's hungry.

INKU says yes, that cold tastes bad, this breaks the tension.

OKE lifts the ESU dish and empties a little more soup, tells it that hot tastes better, everyone approaches his dishes, serves more and keeps eating.

TOIRE and INKU while eating, think about how complicated the world is becoming.
