I spent most of the next few days in the harpy's tribes nest waiting for the girl to gain consciousness. There's a little bit of trouble from the tribes woman but that was solved by the arrival of their chief, which calms the unrest. After I told her about what happened at the forest she told me that there will be a patrol from now on , even in the night. She told me about what happened to her during her visited to her little sisters.....it didn't go very well, according to her ... her sister's captured some human whom she thought as explorer and massacred them in their execution ground, which by the way was what I've seen in the map from the table. After we chatted for a little long she wash herself and go to rest in her house.
.......
Lyliana sit up from her bed thinking about the nightmare she has , where she is ambushed by bandits and she flee into the Gard forest when she experienced horror but was saved by something black. She tried to call her servant, but as she looks carefully she noticed that this isn't her room. She rised up from her bed difficultly and look for weapons around the room and pick up candle holder . She struggled to walk with her feet and feel weak and hungry at the same time. As she walks towards the door someone is walking in the direction of the room and she position herself in the door side and ready to pounce and strike any threat coming to the room but when the door open she didn't even notice what is coming to the room until she looks down and see something unexpected. A little dragon which is pure black with red eyes staring directly at her eyes makes her unable to do anything . She can moves as the dragon stop staring at her eyes and she quietly sit in the bed again and wait for something. The dragon spoke and said " How are you doing?? Did you feel any discomfort??"
Lyliana didn't reply for a while shock by the fact that the creature in front of her is the mythical creatures which she only read from a book and it can talk as well. As the dragon repeat the question she replied by saying that "I'm doing well. Thank you sir for saving me from the bandits and taking care of me".
"Oh there's no need for that , all i did was taking you to here . You should thank the old women for nursing you and the chief for letting you stay here. But before that , are you hungry??" Said the dragon.
She tried to say 'NO' but just as she open her mouth a loud grumbling sound came from her stomach and she feels herself burning up with shame despite the situation.
..........
I escort her to the dining room where the old women who nurse her and two harpy with pigeon like wings are talking to each other but quiet as soon as they notice us. The old women set up some fruit , milk and honey saying the girl need them for her health.
After she finishes eating she introduced herself, she's called lyliana von emerald, a daughter of the Duke of the empire .
That caught me by surprise, she's from the enemy nations and yet i unknowingly save her, she may be bad news for us or can cause potential threat. Whatever happens I need to be cautious of her. Should I just kill her???
Various thoughts came into my mind and i decided to take a breath and head outside telling them I'm gonna flew back to my home. If I stay there too long I may do unnecessary things and may cause death. So i flew back to my home after saying farewell to the chief. On my way home i keep thinking how should I treat that girl, i safe her, but she's from the enemy side, in the first place harpy aren't supposed to exist for human and she should endanger their existence. Why the heck am i doing by bringing the empire noble daughter to our territory?? But I can't just leave her in that forest at the mercy of those beast . And in the first place i didn't know that she's the daughter of the Duke, and it's safe for now since she can't leave unless she can fly,,so it's safe to say that no one's know that she's alive.
After i reach the cave where I called home i check out the forest where I found her through the table map and i spot some soldiers searching for something. Maybe they're from the Duke, but i decided to not intervene in the case without knowing anything and even if they try to search for her they won't be able to reach deep inside the forest without suffering casualties. So i decided to rest in the bed without any worries. And i close my eyes and fall into sleep.
..................
Lyliana is beyond curios about where she is , who was that dragon? Who were this people?? What happened to those people who escort her?? And who are the people who ambushed her?? Though she can guess the third question she decided not to , since she want to cling into the last hope that at least some of them may survive.
After she fill her stomach the old women told her that she need sleep in order to get strength and take her to the room . But when she laid into the bed she asks the women about some questions she had in her minds.
She asks about the dragon and if it was the one who found her?? And the place where she is??
The old women replied calmly that it was the dragon who brought her here and she is currently in the Gard mountain but when she try to talk more someone called her from outside saying that the matriarch called for her presence. And now lyliana is alone deep in her thoughts as she falls asleep.
