237 Kori Village

Aether dozed off by the fire, with Vy's hand holding on to his tightly. An owl flew into the cave. Seeing that the fae kin was still sound asleep, the owl flew up to him. Just as it was about to peck him on the forehead, Aether grabbed hold of the owl's talons and looked up at him. 

-What do you think you're doing, boy?- Aether asked as he shot the owl a cold stare. 

The owl was desperately flapping its wings, trying to get away from the fae kin but unsuccessfully. 

"I was just trying to see if you're awake," Lycster replied in his owl form, as he tried to play it off. 

Aether let go of the owl and Lycster turned back into his human form. The fae kin woke Vy up as she had instructed him to do so. But she did not stir awake immediately. 

"I found a village! I think we should be able to seek shelter there." Lycster explained.
