Znozor gathered some medicinal plants from the forest and used it to aid branocs injuries and his aswell.Wrapped his clothes around branocs wounds.

As time passed by branocs woke up tired and started to look around but he could'nt stand up due to his injuries.And started murmuring.

Znozor came towards branoc,smoking cigar and said"Relax,you're in no shape to stand up".

Branoc looked at znozor  and tears started coming from his eyes.Branoc couldn't stop his crying due to the terrible incident he witnessed in front of his eyes.Znozor petted branocs head and told him "Stop your crying what are you a child?,aren't you the Night Saviour,hero?"Branoc lowered his crying and Znozor said "I've killed the giant monster"."Don't worry everything is going to be fine,I'll put an end to everything soon"."Take some rest I'll prepare something to eat.Branoc saddened closed his eyes and slept.

Znozor was preparing the food,due to the aroma of the food  branoc woke up.Znozor served the food.Branoc sad and angry started digging the food in agressively.

They both finished the meal and slept near the bonfire again.

The next morning, they awoke slightly recovered and energized from the battle.They extinguish the fire and packed some food for the journey.While their preparation znozor asked branoc "What are you gonna do now?"

Branoc answered"I am coming with you on your journey".

Znozor couldn't say no,knowing branoc having no one with him, worried about him and accepted. He warned Branoc about the dangerous journey ahead, but Branoc didn't listen to anything Znozor had to say. Instead,his eyes burning bright with the weight of losses. Despite the risks, Znozor accepted him into the journey, and they moved on.
