Chapter 89

"Nikita!" Tepi's voice cried as she and Vorac ran across the wide flower-filled meadow. I was glad to see them again, but then I saw Vorac raised her golden bow. I realized she was going to shoot the beast king and rushed forward to stop them.

"No, no, wait! Vorac, don't shoot!" I said, spreading my arms to block her. "He did not harm me!"

They halted at my words. Vorac lowered her bow again and exchange a glance with Tepi.

"Nikita, I think it's wise to stay away from the beast," Tepi said cautiously. Her body was still poised in a defensive stand. "If we keep him around any longer, we shall all lose our lives at once."

"No, my friends, hear me first, he is a gift and not a threat to us," I told them. The two avatars looked even more perplexed.

"A gift from who?"

I decided it was time to tell them what happened.
