LUNA AND KICHO are desperate and helpless, silent, holding back their tears.
When all noise ceases, they wait for a prudent time.
LUNA AND KICHO get out of the barrier where they were hiding.
LUNA's heart is a bundle of nerves, she feels very distressed, she is thoughtful.
What is he to do now?
KICHO looks at the sky, trying to see traces of her father, when she looks down, she spots TOIRE's mallet, impulsively, bursting into tears, she runs towards him.
With trembling hands.
She takes her father's gavel and KICHO won't stop crying, she gets down on her knees.
LUNA observes the scene.
It breaks her heart that she doesn't feel herself able to hold back her tears.
It had been so many years since he had felt this sorrow that afflicted his soul.
She doesn't know her husband's whereabouts.
You don't know if your child is okay.
You don't know if WASHI is safe...
She's not ready to deal with this now.
TOIRE was always the man who protected his family.
She was his pillar where he could rest.
As a pillar, it's your duty to find him and try to bring him home.
It is what reason dictates, but, without a doubt, over the years, the fierceness that characterized her, has fallen asleep.
KICHO makes a claim, perhaps without thinking.
She objects to the fact that she did not interfere in helping her father when he was captured.
Even before that, they could have been distracted...
She, she would have done it if she hadn't been arrested by her mother.
Luna tries to comfort his daughter, telling her that her father's sacrifice of hiding them would have been lost if they were found.
He asks her to think about it coldly, in reality, the two of them are not people who could escape from those evil ones, and even less, being so many.
The fact that TOIRE hid them is because, in his nature, it is to protect everything he loves.
Theirs, to help him in some way.
Hard as it is to believe, only the 3 of them would have been captured, precisely because of the two of them.
She asks him to trust her father, she, fully trusts that, TOIRE, he will be able to escape alone without having to worry about taking care of them.
He promises that his father will return.
He's a hero in UNDERWORLD.
His mother's words echo in KICHO.
More than giving him security, they sound like a farewell, something in his soul tells him that he will never see his father.
KICHO's anguish spirals out of control, a fury of energy emanating from the girl's body, causing a portal to open next to the sledgehammer.
LUNA can't believe it, it's not possible that she has the potential for something like that, she is, a girl who has been born without magical power.
Seeing him turn slightly towards the portal, fearing that KICHO will go through him, he yells at him to stop.
KICHO stands by the sledgehammer, directing his tearful gaze towards the portal.
She has stood up, she is tempted to enter dragging the gavel, a strong tension fills the air, LUNA is alert to her daughter's movements.
When the portal begins to close, KICHO quickens his pace and enters the portal, anticipating this, LUNA runs faster and catches up with her, the portal closes.
They enter a space-time that has quickly transported them to another world.
They reappear in the water, specifically, in the ocean.
With great efforts, they struggle to stay afloat, but they are sinking from TOIRE's sledgehammer, KICHO refuses to let go of the deck.
LUNA struggles with her and exerting force makes KICHO release the sledgehammer, when they release it, they quickly manage to come to the surface.
There is no time to lose, after grabbing a little air, the waves sink them several times.
They spend some time like this, until a current drags them to a nearby beach.
Along the way, KICHO has vanished, LUNA has managed to maintain consciousness and makes sure not to let go of KICHO.
Feeling the ground firm beneath his feet, he just pulls KICHO to the shore before he faints.
After a few hours, KICHO has woken up and runs to his mother to wake her up as well.
LUNA looks confused at the landscape, she knows that it is not the SKY because in that dimension there are no such large lakes (actually it is an ocean, she did not know them) but, she does not know where they are exactly.
They're lost... now, they are not even in UNDERWORLD.
KICHO apologizes to his mother.
He almost caused them both to die for refusing to let go of their father's sledgehammer...
Through tears, the girl looks at his empty hands.
LUNA understands it, it's a traumatic act I've never seen in person.
She herself remembers the chill she felt when YUEL abducted her to take her to the dimension of DARKNESS.
After long hours, in which they appreciate that the dawn is about to begin, in the distance, along the shore, a group of fishermen, men, armed for hunting and fishing, come towards them.
LUNA is restless, she observes them in detail, they do not see themselves with an attitude of attack, but neither of help.
In UNDERWORLD.
On the outskirts of the KINGDOM OF KIRO, a great commotion is formed, the hordes that were yet to arrive, are very close to their destination.
