Bruha and Onyok lay side by side in a small room, their injuries from the battle with the Greater Demon still fresh. Villagers moved about, tending to their wounds with great care. Bruha, though injured, kept her gaze fixed on the unconscious Onyok beside her.
Worry furrowed her brow, but she remained silent, too tired to voice her concerns.
In the next room, the village chief and the warriors held an urgent meeting. Their voices were low but tense, and the clink of weapons could be heard as they discussed strategies to fortify the village.
The recent unexpected visitors had been a harsh wake-up call, and they were all aware that another incident could occur at any time. The village chief, was determined to prepare his people for the worst.
Hours passed before Onyok finally stirred.
