"This is bad!" - Haulia clan member exclaimed as he ran to the others.
"Night Veil, what are you doing here?" - Kam asked as he raised an eyebrow.
"Captain, we're in trouble, the demons are attacking!" - exclaimed the rabbit named Night Veil.
"The demons?!" - Kam exclaimed in surprise as he frowned - "How did they get so close to Verbergen when the forest should be impeding their advance?"
"Perhaps they are using an artifact in order to advance" - another clan member replied as the others frowned - "Though now I have a question, how come Verbergen hasn't initiated defense preparations? How come they didn't try to contact us?"
"Maybe they still think we are weak, or just their pride prevented it" - Kam replied while shaking his head - "Either way, it's time we showed the demons and those proud Verbergen, that we won't allow someone to destroy our home!"
The rabbits roared fiercely as their eyes turned red, as if they were trying to concentrate their growing killer instincts.
"I want you to start preparations, I will try to contact Cloud-sama" - Kam said seriously.
The rabbits calmed down when they heard this because if there was anything they wanted more than spilling the blood of their enemies, it was the approval of their master.
Kam watched his subordinates go to the battlefield as he walked to his tent, the place where his weakened wife was - "Mona..."
"Kam..." - Mona murmured with a faint smile - "Is everything all right?"
"The sea of trees is in danger, the demons are attacking" - Kam answered with a sad smile - "Maybe a great part of our brothers will fall in this battle..."
"Let's trust them, and the training Cloud-sama gave us" - said Mona with a hopeful smile.
Kam smiled when he saw this, after all, his beloved wife was still the same person he married - "Ok, I'll try to contact Cloud-sama."
Mona nodded silently as she watched her husband work.
Kam waited a few seconds, but expected the worst when he saw that he didn't make contact.
"Maybe they're still in Raisen?" - Kam wondered with concern, though his expression changed to one of relief when he heard the sound of his master's voice - "Cloud-sama, it's good to hear your voice!"
[Kam? What's wrong?]
Kam quickly explained the situation as Mona kept silent despite the fear that began to invade her insides.
[I see... they initiated the attack earlier than we thought...]
"You knew about the attack?" - Kam asked with surprise, though he quickly frowned.
[Yes, we heard about it until recently, we're even out of the sea of trees because we were planning to give them help, but there's a problem...}
"A problem?" - Kam repeated in surprise - "I don't understand, you guys should have no problem getting through the sea of trees with Shea as a guide..."
[That's the problem, she can't guide us through the sea of trees, as if someone had made modifications to the configuration of the barrier protecting Verbergen...]
"Impossible, no one knows where the core of the barrier is" - Kam replied while frowning - "Even if they could modify the barrier, that wouldn't prevent members of our race from entering the sea of trees."
[Honestly, I don't know what's going on either, but it's not like we can't enter, but the moment we do, the barrier will consider us hostile and we would be locked in the natural fog maze of the sea of trees]
Kam tried to say something else, when he heard one of his subordinates call out to him from outside his tent - "Give me a second, Cloud-sama."
[Ok]
Kam quickly stepped out of his home and looked at the subordinate who had called out to him, only to be surprised because he wasn't alone - "A harpy?"
"Greetings, leader of the Haulia clan" - said the harpy seriously - "I'm sure you know what's going on, or at least that's what I see from the preparations you've been making."
"Yes, my subordinates detected demonic presences in the sea of trees, so I would like to assume that they found a way to be able to modify or breach our defenses" - Kam said seriously.
"Yes, unfortunately, one of the sages was a traitor" - replied the harpy seriously - "Currently the other sages are unconscious, Princess Altina is under our care and our lord Ulfric is fighting with the traitor."
Kam's expression darkened when he heard this, so he quickly asked her the reason for her presence in his home, though he already knew what she was going to say.
"We need your clan's help so we can defend our home" - the harpy replied with a frown.
"We are outcasts, our clan was banished by Verbergen" - Kam replied neutrally - "Why should we help you?"
"Ok, let's be honest, you are already prepared to help us, so there is no need for us to have this kind of games" - said the harpy while shaking her head - "Although that doesn't mean we won't pay them for their services, after all, the Haulia clan is not under Verbergen's control enough to ask them to sacrifice their lives just like that."
Kam frowned before nodding - "Ok, we'll help."
"I am glad to hear the first good news of the day, I ask you to go with your troops to the north gate of Verbergen so we can start the defense meeting" - said the harpy before spreading her wings and flying towards her base to tell her leader about the success of her mission.
"Cloud-sama..." - Kam said as he looked towards the sphere.
[I've heard it all, though it's a bit worrisome to hear about Verbergen's current situation...]
"What are you planning to do?" - Kam asked with a frown.
[We'll force our way in, though it will cause slight inconvenience for us...]
"Will they be all right?" - Kam asked with concern.
[Yeah, don't worry about us, honestly, I'd be more worried about your situation and your wife's.]
Kam kept silent when he heard this because he was right. Mona's body wasn't as strong as the other clan members, mostly because she still wasn't recovering from being in a coma for so long.
"Mona..." - Kam said as he walked to his wife and took her by the hand.
"I am a proud member of the Haulia clan" - Mona said with a smile - "I am strong in my own way, so don't worry about me, go to the battlefield, and come back to me."
Kam took a long breath before nodding - "I understand..."
[Kam... Do you still have those 5 colored stones I left in your care?]
"Yes?" - Kam replied, confused by this strange question.
[Well, those are stones that I created as a prototype of one of my artifacts, they are not perfect, but they fulfill their mission].
"Okay?" - Kam was even more confused.
[You see, those stones if put in a correct order, can create a barrier that protects the user, and although this is not as strong as the final artifact, it can do its job]
"That's good to hear, though I'm surprised he left me something so useful" - Kam said with surprise.
[It's because it's better to be safe than sorry, besides, those stones weren't necessary when I left them with you, that is, I was already working on the second version]
"I understand, though I still thank you for the gesture" - smiled Kam as he took his weakened wife's hand - "Did you hear, Mona? With this you'll be safe."
"That's good to hear, at least now you won't have to worry about my well-being" - smiled Mona as she caressed the cheek of her beloved husband, the same man who had cared for her all these years of unconsciousness.
[There is one thing I want to warn you that yes, it's about the duration and the amount of strokes he can take.]
"?" - Shea's parents looked at each other as they waited for the blond's next words.
[The barrier will be able to protect her for an hour or for at least 50 hits with the full power of a level 400 creature, if the level is lower than that, the amount of hit will increase considerably, the amount is so much that I honestly can't say for sure how many it will be]
"That's more than enough for me to be able to return to protect my beloved" - Kam answered seriously while placing a communication sphere on Mona's lap - "I want you to contact me if something happens, I don't care if I'm in the middle of the fight, I'll come running because for me, you are the most important thing next to our daughter"
"Kam..." - Mona murmured with a small smile full of love - "I knew I wasn't wrong in falling in love with you."
"Of course, although there is one thing I have always regretted, and that is that I wasn't strong enough to protect you from that attack" - said Kam with regret - "If I had been as strong before as I am currently, you wouldn't have suffered all these years, and our daughter wouldn't have had to have such a hard life"
"But look at what our little girl turned into, she is not only the strongest Haulia clan member in history, but she also managed to find the love of her life" - smiled Mona as she thought of her baby - "Our daughter may have suffered, though that transformed her into the woman she is today."
