Epilogue : I'm Coming Back!
Behemoth, in his Ethiopian Bull form, was much faster than a warg. He could run nonstop at a decent speed, and he just rammed the monsters that got into his way. It was about noon when they began their way back, and by dusk they were already nearing Treemare village. Conjuring some mana, Jay created a mask. Seeing that her master was putting on a disguise, Myra followed suit, a black veil covered her face. "What's with the masks and veils, are we having a masquerade party?" Behemoth asked, confused.
"It's to hide their identity, and also to satisfy master's fantasy for a masked hero cliche," said Malum, revealing Jay's true intentions. "That's not true, I just want to be able to use my abilities freely," rebutted Jay. "You do know that you are just covering your face right? Every other thing about you remains the same. Your clothes, your mannerisms, everything," laughed Malum. "Now it's on," said Jay, preparing to spend some effort and money on costumes. Malum just sighed, still not convinced about the whole masked Contracter act.
Entering Treemare village, the villagers and Hansel came out to greet them. "Welcome back," Hansel said, checking out Behemoth. "We prepared this for you," said Hansel, gifting Jay a box of wine. Recalling the nauseous and burning taste of alcohol, Jay was going to refuse the gift. But after sensing Myra's glistening eyes, Jay decided to accept. Giving Hansel two gold coins, Jay, using Malum's raspy voice said, "I don't like to take free gifts, just take the money." Feeling Jay's determined demeanor, Hansel didn't say much more, accepting the money. Allowing Behemoth to graze somewhere near the village. Hansel led Jay and Myra into the chieftain's house, treating them to a nice meal. Myra dived in right away, downing a glass of wine right away. Jay shapeshifted his mask to form a slit, and he ate slowly. Thanking them once more, Hansel left to deal with other errands.
The next morning they left early in the morning, in attempt to avoid the large crowd of villagers that will delay their departure. Before they left, Hansel warned the duo about the knights. "They are looking for a masked necromancer, and a beautiful woman in a black dress and veil, be careful," Hansel warned. "I will keep that in mind," replied Jay, thanking Hansel for his warning. They arrived at the gates of Akademia at about noon, and before they got near the gates, Jay said, "Can you change your clothes? They might be on the lookout for a veiled woman." Myra's clothes began to flutter, and seconds later, they turned into a maid outfit. Staring at Myra in her maid outfit, Jay was stunned. "Is there something on my face?" Myra asked, confused. "Beautiful," muttered Jay.
They entered the city without any problems, and soon enough, they were at the gates of the academy. "I'm back Fen!"
