Saved By Her
-----
In those times, Kuro was taken away by Julia through horse. But at the end, the horse ended dying out of exhaustion after a long while of running away. She was wounded with arrows too, and the mare gave her last breaths before dying in the middle of the forest.
Kuro was left devastate, he didn't knew what else to do, but Julia smiled back at him, always, even while she didn't knew what to do either.
The two wandered across the wilderness of ancient Japan however they could. But in such ancient times, Yokai wandered astray within the forests and mountains, and were a constant threat to humans, wandering around alone in the wilderness at night was like a death sentence.
In the middle of their second week, the two were suddenly caught by a band of Savage Oni, the ancestor of the current Oni, who were more like barbarian monsters than the more human-like ones of now.
