"Burn his body! He does not deserve to be seen by his people at the last moment." A guard roared at the same time some of them were preparing torches in which there were flickering flames.
They immediately ran towards Samuel's corpse but Yna was able to block it while her tears continued to fall.
"Let us mourn my father's death, even here, please give me some time. Have mercy on me, I want to be with my father even for a little while." Yna mentioned but it seemed at that moment that the creatures around her were not listening to her and they were still thinking of a way to finally get Samuel's body from behind the little girl.
"No, please! Have mercy on him!" Yna screamed loudly as those creatures pulled her father's corpse, she could barely do anything when she saw her father's corpse slowly burning because of the creatures' contact with the torch they were holding.
That caused her to cry loudly, she did not know but she could not move from where she was, maybe because she blamed herself so much because she was not even able to protect her father.
All she could do was kneel on the ground and pour out the pain she was feeling, she could not even look at her father's corpse that was burning, because she felt that she would die with so much pain.
Despite that, suddenly a man grabbed her and took her away from that place, that was none other than Elias.
"I can't leave my father! Let me stay there!" Yna yelled at him but the man didn't seem to hear anything and he still tried to keep the girl away from that place by running fast.
"You can't bring your father's life back, do you want to die inside that place?" Elias asked him strongly which caused him to remain silent and he could only sob.
It wasn't long before they were completely away from the Hyena's territory and at that moment her mother met her full of worry and it seemed that she was even more worried when she saw that her daughter's body was full of blood .
"What happened?!" The woman asked in shock as she held the face of her daughter who was only crying at that moment.
"My father is gone, mother. He is gone." Yna's words caused the woman to cover her mouth because she could not believe what she heard, she did not even know what she was going to feel.
"N-No, don't say that thing, Yna.." She mentioned this at the same time as she pulled away as if she couldn't believe it.
"He said he'd come back, that's what he said! He promised it!" Yna's mother said again and again as she knelt on the ground because of the emotions that dominated her at that moment.
At the same time, she returns to her memory when they promised each other before the tragedy happened.
(Flashback)
Two decades ago, in the territory of Beldam.
"I am delighted that we will finally have a peer sphere of influence that will be our friend on all levels, and I am confident that one day all the Cartesian territories will be reconciled, however hazily, but I will continue to hope." Samuel's voice, hope can be seen in his voice as if he wants his words to come true when the time is right. He is the high priest or leader of witches in their territory.
At this moment, he and his wife, Yolanda, are preparing to go to the territory of Hyena, nest of Werewolves. The two sides agreed to be friends in all things, and to unite their territory for mass unity, because the creatures in their territories always find treasures, or riches buried by ancient creatures who lives in Cartesian. As well as all their leaders and subordinates are not greedy, they decided that the treasures they find will be given to mortals by planting treasures in their land, which will be needed by the individuals there when the time comes. They believe that when there is a treasure buried in the land of mortals, they will not be attacked by any disaster or storm, and their land will remain rich for them to benefit from for generations to come.
They had just seen mortals' greatness, and as a recompense for their positive behaviour, the two sides decided to develop a deep understanding of there own subject as well as other living creatures within and without the Cartesian.
"That is also my prayer; I hope universe hears it; as well as I find myself hoping that there will be no more wars between the territories; all I want for us is tranquility." Yolanda uttered whilst also firmly hugging her husband, she didn't actually know but it seemed like at that present time she felt anything really jittery, whatever the cause of that despair that caused her heart to beat incredibly quickly because of the anxiousness was nothing is the idea. She was glad that their territory, out of one of the Cartesian's seven, would finally have a companion, but there seemed to be something wrong with what they were going to do, and she did not even know where the mistake was in seeking stillness? In search of ways to assist those in need? She just paused for a moment, managed to convince that she was only feeding her mischievous imagination and that nothing else would enter her mind.
Samuel smiled politely as he stared at his wife's face, having to agree with what she had said. Especially given the fact that they are a witch, which most people regard as awful looking and terrible because all they know is they casts curses and pretty odd wizardry on creatures they does not want. This is indeed a massive mistake, because the witches gained honor under the leadership of Samuel and Yolanda, even if a few of them were naturally evil and uncompassionate, which cannot erase and equalize the number of witches with hearts of gold. They, like their leaders, want peace; they have reached a point in their lives where any wealth offered to them is no longer valuable because what they value most is a complete family and a territory far from fighting and mess.
Others thought witches had large, ugly noses, displeasing faces, and disturbing voices. But what they do not really appear to understand is that the descriptions in the book have been far from precise and reliable truth, since all of the individuals in Beldam have an attractive appearance, which is usually favoured by creatures from other territories. However, trying to cut and loving a being who is not of your kind is a great sacrilege, and it is never permitted in the entire Cartesian.
"After the formal presentation of friendship between Beldam and Hyena later, the next day there will be an immediate treasure hunt. Our territory and the Werewolves' territory will merge, the first thing we will look for is the hidden treasure that will be found in the forest." Samuel mentioned as he was fixing his clothes and preparing to leave, because it was almost time for Oliver and Emma to talk to the leaders of the Werewolves.
