"Xenia, is it okay for us to enter the palace this way again? I think we will be in some kind of danger this time. If the demons see us entering through that way, we will be in great danger."
Xenia listened to Ryan's words silently.
Of course, she is also thinking about that. A similar question is popping up in her mind.
"There is no need for you to worry. I am here. I will enter this way anyway. And I will take you with me. And besides, there is no alternative and easy way. This way seems easy to me."
Ryan stopped walking.
"We can only enter through the main gate of the palace. Because we are demons like them now. No, we look like them. The guards can't stop us if we want to enter."
Hahaha!
Xenia was not surprised to hear Ryan's words and instead smiled. She is supposed to smile. Because what Ryan said did not give Xenia much hope.
"Ryan, why are you talking like such a fool? You know we're not real demons. Of course you're a demon. It's no use either. And besides, we were in a group when we first entered the palace. So it was easy to get inside. I can get in. And if I go this time, the guards will have to face a lot of questions."
Ryan's face turned pale.
"Question! What kind of question? And why should they question us?"
"Huh! Don't question it. You're going to enter that palace and you won't be questioned? Surely you will be questioned. Tell you, where did you go? And which way did you go? I didn't see you go out this way. How did you get out? They might as well, capture you and me and hand over to their king. Then we can't do anything despite our power. So it's more dangerous to enter through the gate than to enter this way."
"Why are you standing here if it's dangerous? Let's move forward."
Ryan said this to tease Xenia with a bright face.
Xenia smiled in understanding.
"Yes, hurry up. We have very little time. We must enter the hole quickly. It would not be right to enter the palace in the dark of night. Because if we make any light to dispel the darkness, the demons will sense our presence. Which will be not good for us"
Ryan shook his head and began to walk forward. And Dragia fell asleep in Xenia's nice and comforting arms. She has a characteristic. And that is, if she falls asleep, she does not come back from her sleep world until she encounters some kind of noise or obstacle.
However, Xenia and Ryan crossed the mountain and arrived in front of the crater.
Since they had come this way before, they were not afraid to go this way again. They know everything about this path.
"Xenia, I'm going in first. You follow me."
Not having any fear, Ryan stepped forward to enter first. Xenia did not stop him.
The sun is still shining in the sky. That glow entered through the mouth of the tunnel. The path is clearly visible in that light. So there was no need to light them separately.
Ryan entered.
Xenia took a good look at everything around her, the outside of the tunnel, the top of the hill, the bushes. Then she startled as she put her foot inside the tunnel.
"What! Ryan just got in. You mean he got in so fast? I shouldn't be late like this. I need to hurry."
Xenia began to walk quickly.
Aaaah!
"What's that sound? It must be Ryan's voice. That means he's in some danger. I have to get to him quickly. He needs me a lot now."
So Xenia without any delay, she rolled her hips and ran to Ryan.
Went and saw Ryan lying on the floor of the tunnel. His eyes are closed.
Xenia knelt there and rested Ryan's head on her leg. Then she started patting Ryan's head with her hand.
"Ryan, hey Ryan. Open your eyes. I know you must be playing some kind of joke with me. But I don't like that kind of fun at all. Please get up."
No, Ryan didn't respond.
Xenia began to shake Ryan's whole body. It was no use either. Doubts began to creep into her mind.
She checked Ryan's entire body carefully and found a single piece of arrow pierced under his armpit and just above the waist.
Xenia was horrified to see it. She wanted to cry out loud in pain. But she couldn't shout out loud. She began to fear, if someone heard her voice?
Still, tears began to flow from her eyes.
"Xenia, what are you doing? You're a brave girl. You're a fairy. You don't deserve to be emotional like this. You're the only hope now. You're the only one who can save Ryan. It's not okay for you to panic."
Xenia, hidden inside Xenia's mind, said these words to her.
Xenia snapped back to reality.
Xenia took Dragia out of her lap and placed her to one side. She is still sleeping. Xenia did not call Dragia. She thought that if she called him, she would worry unnecessarily.
Then she turned Ryan and tried with all her strength to remove the arrow that pierced Ryan's body.
At first she was very scared. Did not exert all the strength of her body. Her face looked like she was trying to pull the arrow out of her body. She gently tried to remove the arrow. She thought it was just a small arrow that pierced Ryan near his stomach. She doesn't need to use all her strength to open it.
