The demon was suspicious of the priestess who had swayed into their midst. Unlike the other priests and priestesses who wandered to the mountains, she was different. Her aura was bright, too bright. He also sensed a strong mass of energy from which could only mean that she possessed powers he could not fathom.
Ailee was also glaring back at the demon. It was undoubtedly powerful but not dangerous. If it was, the children would not be so friendly with him.
"Magrod, the pretty sister gave us food!" Hwayoung told the demon. "She is really nice!"
"Magrod, where have you been?" Ola asked. "We were worried!"
"Did you bring us more food?" Injing asked, pointing at the bag Magrod stole from a small shop at the village. He had snuck into the humans' territory by concealing his powers and stole a bag of bread for the children. The demon could not purify them but he could not leave them starving for so long.
