The voice of the Elven King was gentle, "No," he said, "those children will return home as usual, but the demons will parasitize inside them, absorbing nutrients. After a few years, they can leave the children's bodies."
"Oh..." Ilodyer nodded.
"The demons are very clever; you can easily see the difference in strength," the Elven King said, "If humans could understand that, there would be less killing among them."
Suddenly, Ilodyer hugged the Elven King from behind, hanging onto him.
Turning around, the Elven King smiled, "What's wrong, little one?"
"I'm... tired, can't walk anymore," Ilodyer pouted, leaning on the Elven King's shoulder. The Elven King laughed, "We've already arrived; can you walk to your home from here?"
