Kaelen stood in a vast area of the deserted village, the crimson sky looming above him with its familiar cracked appearance as he waited for Galandor to return from his usual hunt in the forest.
That is why when he stumbled upon the village yesterday, Flores was all alone when she encountered the beast that he had fought. Even though her mother always ordered her to stay in her house when they went hunting, Flores seemed to have disregarded her mother's orders yesterday, perhaps drawn outside by something that had caught her eye.
So why did they go out for their usual hunting activity despite yesterday's events that nearly cost Flores her life? It was because Galandor trusted Kaelen to protect his granddaughter again if the same situation were to arise. Hearing the old elf's word yesterday about the trust he put to Kaelen made him somewhat felt content.
