CHAPTER 17: MEMORIES OF BATTLE

Seeing his son with fear in his gaze, he gives him a fleeting smile before covering the hiding place.

JOSHINSUL, watches silently from within, as his mother covers the entrance with hay, arranging it so that it is not seen.

As a final touch, she recharges a wooden pallet, little by little inside the hiding place it has darkened.

OKE, as she walks away from her son heading inside her home.

Remember how a few years ago it has been since he does not regularly practice his fighting skills as he used to in the early years.

They only practice it in meetings.

She scolds herself, for being lazy.

Since, that skill is likely to be just what is needed now.

OKE rushes the step.

Right in the middle of the room, above the fireplace, are the weapons given by CHONT-SU so long ago.

The sword entrusted to INKU, the one that belonged to CHON-SU himself.

Also, the daggers that were given to her, as well as the crossbow.

OKE's attitude has been strengthened, she does not know what is happening, but, she has to reach the group that was sent, and leave with the support group that is about to leave.

She ties her husband's sheathed sword to her back.

His assistants have mobilized outside his house, all leaving for the village, where screams and a lot of smoke come from.

There are several fires.

In addition, as they approach, they can feel a very heavy aura on the village.

Almost as big, as that aura that YUEL gave off.

A fear overwhelms the heart of OKE.

Without ceasing to advance, without immobilizing, he tries to overcome the fear that intensifies as he approaches the battle.

He has a son alone at home, in the temple is the rest of his family.

Everyone, they are attacking and fighting against all the evil ones that they are encountering.

OKE, he realizes how strong everyone who has attacked the village is, there are many dead villagers, small, adults, no matter the age.

This infuriates her too much.

All those who accompany her, try to help others.

There is too much chaos everywhere.

Evil, fierce beasts that attack them.

Some of them with the use of their weapons or magic wound or kill the evil ones that have claimed many lives.

They go through the village, in the mind of OKE, there is an immense need to reach the temple.

It's full battle, he can't leave just like this, he must protect his people and trust INKU.

She knows how strong her husband is.

Although she is worried about her son INKU, she is with her father.

This alleviates their oppression a bit.

There are many mercenaries with dirty fighting gear on the side of the evil ones, human and non-human, slaughtering everything in their path.

He knows those scenes well.

He feels a lot of fear and anger at the same time, he remembers those kinds of people, like the one who 20 years ago killed his beloved father.

Those people who forced her to mature by force, such an experience was so painful that, it cost her a lot, to be able to see the positive side of life.

The number of the horde is decreasing, as well as that of the villagers.

OKE can see in the distance the structure of the temple.

She, carrying her husband's sword, moving forward, attacking with the fury of her memories and struggling with the fatigue that has begun to deplete her body.

Heading to the TEMPLE ESCRIBE.
