Kai, Eiera, and Rin reached the villagers, where two villagers gave support to their village elder to stand on his feet. The Elder was very weak due to the rogue leader's assault on him. Rin went forward with her gentle touch. She healed the elder's wound, giving him instant relief from his pain.
The Elder placed his hand gently on Rin's hand, giving her his blessing. "Thank you, my daughter," his voice filled with gratitude. Rin softly smiled, feeling the weight of the Elder's blessings.
"How can we ever thank you? For what you have done today." The Elder spoke.
"You should be thanking Luna, not me," Kai responded. The Elder asked. "Where is Luna?"
As the Elder spoke, a blue light emerged from Kai's shoulder, and a small palm-sized fairy appeared sitting on Kai's shoulder. She had sea-colored eyes, gray hair, and delicate wings. She flew from Kai's shoulder, "I'm Luna." She introduced herself to the villagers.
Villagers, including the elder, were shocked to see a fairy. They couldn't believe their own eyes. Luna flew around the village Elder, leaving a magical trail behind her. "You looked shocked, but why?" Luna spoke.
The Elder instantly replied, "You're a fairy...But they went Extinct after the great war."
"You're saying I'm supposed to be dead, that's mean." Luna giggled as she spoke, "Just Kidding, yes I'm a living fairy." Villagers gradually accepted the existence of a fairy. The Elder spoke, "Thank you for everything you have done for us."
"Can we look at the face of our Hero?" The Elder spoke with a gentle tone, "Could you.."
Kai shook his head and firmly replied. "I'm sorry, but I can't," Kai continued. "Everyone of you possesses magical abilities, yet all of you sat down while rogue raided, your houses killed your man, tortured a child in front of your eyes." Kai continued his lecture, "But all of you just sat and cried. How pathetic, I shouldn't even come here."
One Villager spoke up. "They were too strong for us."
"DID YOU EVEN TRY!" As Kai spoke his fists clenched at his sides, his knuckles turning white. His breath came in sharp, ragged bursts, and his gaze darkened, locking onto the villager with an intensity that made the man take a step back. Just as Kai moved forward.
Eiera stepped in front of him, her hand resting gently on his chest. 'Stop, Kai,' she said softly, her eyes pleading with him. 'They've already had a rough day.' Her touch and her words were like a soothing balm to his rage, and he took a deep breath, trying to calm the storm inside him.
Hearing Kai's harsh words, the villagers realize the mistake they had made, As they approach Kai. "Please forgive us, and stay with us." Villagers pleaded to Kai, "I don't forgive let's go," Kai spoke.
The Elder stepped forward. "Today is a very special night for our Kingdom, Just one night." Luna also spoke to Kai, "Kai, there's no harm in staying one night." Kai looked at Luna as he spoke. "You know my reasons very well." his voice firm but tinged with an underlying complexity.
Eiera spoke up addressing Villagers. "Don't worry, we will stay the night." Villagers got happy as they heard Eiera's words.
Kai looked at Eiera with confusion, Eiera moved closer, placing a gentle hand on Kai's arm. She leaned in, her breath warm against his ear as she whispered, "Kai, we are staying I hope you understand it." She gave Kai a innocent threat. Kai look at the determination glowing in her eyes. "Fine."
As Kai agreed to stay, Villagers took Kai and his friends to rest in a village house. While they clear the corpses of their fallen soldier and rogues' corpses.
A few hours later, Villagers are decorating the entire village. While Hiroshi walked toward the house where Kai and his friends were staying.
Hiroshi started looking in the rooms searching, for Kai. Hiroshi slowly opened the first room door enough to peek in, he saw Eiera, Rin, and Luna casually sitting, after seeing all three of them. Hiroshi swiftly closed the door, but Eiera had noticed him.
"Come in," Hearing Eiera's soothing voice, Hiroshi hesitated first after a moment, he stepped into the room.
As Hiroshi nervously stepped into the room, Eiera offered Hiroshi to take a seat. "You were looking for Kai, weren't you." Hiroshi looked at Eiera, "Yes, I wanted to thank him."
"Well, brother is not here, you can tell me if you like, and I'll tell him on your behalf," Rin spoke to Hiroshi.
"No, I can tell him at the function night," Hiroshi replied. "Fine With me," Rin spoke.
Luna joins the conversation as she flies, and sits on Hiroshi's shoulder. "So what is this event is everyone preparing for?" She asked, "Actually, it's a birthday." Hiroshi continues, "It's the birthday of the prince of Celestria, the King is going to decorate the entire kingdom for his older son's birthday."
