Zachariah was on edge because he knew that there were likely more werewolves in the forest that they were traveling through. What he didn't realize was that Anastasia was walking towards him with a worried look on her face. He finally noticed after Anastasia tapped him on the shoulder and looked at him with a worried expression
. "What's wrong my beautiful wife"? Zachariah asked her in a worried tone. "I could've helped you know, why didn't you let me"? Anastasia asked in response. "I didn't want you to get hurt by that monster or the spell I was casting", said Zachariah. " You won't always be able to protect me from everything, so please let me fight alongside you so i can protect myself and the elves we rescue in the future"! Anastasia responded in an excited tone.
"I'm sorry, I know you want to get stronger, so next time we have to fight another monster i'll let you help so you can get stronger"., Zachariah said in an apologetic tone. "Thank you, I know you just wanted to protect me and the rest of the people here, and i appreciate that, I love you". Anastasia said in a affectionate tone. "I love you too, and I will always cherish you being by my side, so let me know whenever you need anything and I will do my best to help you". Zachariah replied in the same affectionate tone, as they kissed each other in the light of the moon.
After their romantic experience they started to move silently through the forest so they wouldn't attract the attention of nearby monsters or wildlife. Along the way Anastasia noticed something, "Everyone, I recognize where we are, we are getting closer to home"!
Everyone in the group silently cheered because this meant they would soon be able to sleep without having to worry about monster attacks, and they would be safe from anyone trying to enslave them.
Zachariah decided to ask Anastasia some questions about her parents and their kingdom.
"Hey Ana (Short for Anastasia), I've been meaning to ask you, what are your parents like"?
"Well Zach (Short for Zachariah), They are kind and benevolent rulers, who are having a hard time keeping their kingdom together because of people, mainly humans, who are capturing and enslaving us. They are doing everything in their power to find our people who were captured by such barbaric individuals, but their influence is waning due mainly to the humans not cooperating with us in our search. If I had to summarize what the situation of our kingdom is like, I would say that if nothing changes we are doomed. But now that you are here everything is going to change for the better, I just know it".
"I see, well don't worry, I will be sure to save your kingdom and make it a force to be reckoned with. Your people won't have to worry about being captured, instead you will be the ones capturing those barbaric people who dared to enslaved you, and make them suffer for their transgressions".
