For the rest of the journey, Aurora was forced to cover her face with a scarf and her hair with a hood since Helen informed her that the witch who took the disguise off could not give her a new disguise.
They continued their journey and traveled both day and night to cover up for the lost days only stoping occasionally for food and for a short night rest for only four hours.
Aurora knew very well that something was wrong. She knew Helen was hiding something from her but she could not figure it out since she was lost her memory.
She looked at Helen who was eating the fish she caught from the river and roasted for the two of them. "You are hiding something from me," she said with a frown. The fish her maid prepared for her held in her hand as she watched Helen closely.
Helen froze with her teeth biting on the fish. "I . . ." she began but choked on the fish she had in her mouth and began coughing while patting her chest.
"You know what really happened, right?" Aurora asked as she got up walked to her maid. She helped her beat her back gently. "You should be careful when eating."
Helen could not help but feel wronged as she glanced her master who was scolding her over what she caused. She was lucky it was not serious.
"So, now what are you hiding from me?" she asked with a serious frown.
"I am not hiding anything," Helen replied with her voice sounding shaky. She remembered all that happened that day and she could not help but shiver in fear.
"You are obviously scared of me. Have I ever hurt you? Did I hurt you or anyone else?"
"No, you did not." Helen shook her head vigorously as she avoided her gaze.
"You are not looking at me. You are clearly hiding something and it makes me angry. You should never hide anything from me especially when it concerns me." She got up seeing that Helen was alright and returned to where she once sat to eat.
"I am not hiding anything from you," she replied firmly now after remembering the orders of the sorcerer.
"That makes you a lot more suspicious." With a scoff, Aurora continued eating her meal.

Getting into the land of the inhumans was much easier than thought it would be. She thought she was going to see a place of ruins but the first city she got to was very busy with a lot of humans around.
It was a kingdom just as rich if not richer than her Homeland. There were smiles across the lips of the people she met. They even appeared more hospitable than any other town she passed through.
A woman walked up to her suddenly and gripped her wrist as she ordered for her lunch in a restaurant. She glanced at her wrist and back at the woman who she was not sure how she knew but the woman was definitely not a complete human.
"What do you want? Take your hands off," Helen ordered holding the woman's wrist and tried to pull her hand off.
"You . . ." the woman began looking at Aurora with so much admiration.
Aurora felt the attention of people on her suddenly. She shook the woman's hand off and got up.
"You are glowing," the woman completed her sentence loudly as Aurora hurried off to her horse. Without wasting time, she mounted her horse and rode off with Helen coming behind her.
The stares of the people did not stop as she rode out of the gates of the city into the field. She glanced back and down to her hand. Glowing? She scoffed. She could not see herself glow at all. All she saw was the smooth white skin of the back of her hand.
She was not glowing at all. She pulled the reins of her horse and continued down the part that led down a hilly part. She had just a day to arrive in time on the only night with a full moon that the werewolves are at their weakest.
It was a night when the moon goddess reminds them that they are still under her rule and they were not all-powerful and unbeatable.
It was also a night of something else she began reading about but she did not know what it was because the next page of the book was torn off. When she asked her teacher what was on the next page, she did not tell her for reasons unknown to her.
What matters most to her was that she was definitely going to have the opportunity to kill the person who killed her family for unknown reasons. She was going to put an end to the existence of the very people who have made themselves a terror to humans and threatening to further expand their territory by conquering kingdoms after kingdoms.
She glanced back at Helen. She was not going to bother with whatever secret Helen was hiding from her because soon she will be gone and remembered forever for her bravery and get to sit down with her female ancestors for a banquet to celebrate her victory.

From a distance, he watched her attentively almost without blinking. He did not believe she came on her own. He has been searching the world for her. She looked just like the prophecy said.
From miles away where he stood being able to see clearly due to his inhuman eyes, he could see her glowing despite the fact that she was wearing a black hood as though to cover her light.
"We should not let her get close to the kingdom until the festival and sacrifices is over," his beta suggested cautiously.
"No, let her come. She will definitely not be my death. The Moon goddess might want to put me under strict control but she does not want me dead. I can not see my death," he replied seriously as he looked ahead.
He has awaited her arrival for over two centuries, he will not be foolish enough to delay her arrival.
His beta shut his mouth as fear gripped his heart. He understood how his Alpha felt but this will be the end if their existence. The prophecy never lies.
