XX Rescue (Part 2)

Hidden behind a tree near the military camp, Elijah and Chloe were discussing the plan.

"The Briles Kingdom is know for their large army, so I guess that there is a entire company of hundred inside there and you can see that guy over there? It seems he is the commander of a battalion so he is our first target, but they have large amounts of patrols surrounding the hills and the paths. If we want to get inside,I think the best way is if we make a distraction and attack while they do not know we're here. We just need to wait when they change shifts, we should be able to conceal ourselves and sneak through like this."

"Look! The patrol are preparing to change shifts in half an hour." Chloe said.

Then Elijah suddenly halted, pulling Chloe down in a crouch. "Wait, there is someone coming closer. Find a better place to look around while i will look where they were holding the prisoners." Saying this, he immediately get up and appeared inside the camp using [Void Steps]. Searching the camp, he saw a locked door and with the help of [Detect Life Spell] it was easy to notice who was inside it. Elijah's eyes filled with emotion as he saw his parents.

Elijah's eyes filled with emotion as he saw his parents. He wanted to break the door open so he could save them as fast as possible, but Elijah knew what he needed to do before rescuing them.

While Elijah was circling around the camp. At the same time, Chloe hid in the brushes and silently approached the camp slowly, passing through the bushes quietly and taking down the soldiers hidden in the woods. After climbing one of the trees, she finally got a good position to see what was happening in the base and she saw the soldiers eating while the camp commander was talking to the general.

In order to make any noise, Chloe slowly raised the knife with her right hand, taking aim at the middle of the General's head. Readying herself, she waited for Elijah's signal before she did something.

Right at that moment, she suddenly saw a figure moving like a shadow. The figure looked at her while he aimed with his hand at the entrance of a room where they held explosives and shot a spark of lightning.

'Boom!'

A huge explosion occurred in the middle of the field, body parts flying into the sky as several soldiers were engulfed in fire.

In that very instance, Chloe felt this was Elijah's signal to attack. At that moment, she threw her knife. 'Swoosh!'

As everyone was distracted by the explosion, nobody saw a knife hitting the middle of the General's forehead while his body fall to the ground.

Wounded soldiers run from side to side without knowing what to do. Elijah took a picture of the soldier as a trophy of his victory and while Chloe was taking care of the leftovers he burst into where the prisoners were.

Henry was sitting in the corner of the room, his body was much slimmer than before, with a pale face. His wife, Catherine was talking with the other prisoners as the door burst open and the figure of a brown-haired teenager appeared before their eyes.

Henry and Catherine's eyes redden as they saw the familiar figure before them, but the boy said. "We don't have much time, everyone follow me. i have a friend taking care of the soldiers as i help you escape. So calm down and follow me!"

Elijah led them to the woods outside the camp and a girl with a long green hair had get down from the tree. "Ell, enemy reinforcements are coming. We better go quickly." Then she looked at Elijah parents and says. "Hello, I'm Aryanna Kohar, your son's friend." Henry and Catherine's eyes brighten seeing the young girl Elijah had bring with him.

"Okay, let's go to Green Lake City" Elijah unlocked his smartphone and searched on the map the most safe path to the city. They steal several carriages from the Briles Military camp and escaped to Green Lake City.

Elijah was with Chloe on the first carriage while his mother was on the back talking with a few ladies who were captured from other towns. "Catherine, the young man who saved us is your son? And he is also with such a elegant girl, he seems to be quite influential. If my daughter had a husband like him." "Yeah i also don't believe how much he changed for a twelve year old boy." "What!?"

While a strange talk was happening on the back of the carriage, Henry was with Elijah.

"It was not for you to be in Valhalla Academy? Why are you here?"

"About this, we happen to be on vacation and because of the various reasons we get here, but sis is still on the academy. Why not you try to contact her with your ring?"

"Oh, I forgot. Wait a second." Henry's ring began to shine as a light screen appeared showing Ophelia's face. "Father? Why did you call me so late at night? and why are you so thin? Wait! Ell, is that you!?" Ophelia was asleep when she received the call and her eyes was a bit sleepy when she saw her brother and Aryanna beside her father. Elijah scratched his head and said. "Hello sister, a few things happened and i will be here for a while so you don't need to worry."

...

A few hours later, as the travel was long they had set up a small camp. Elijah was sleeping on a tent and just as was felling the cold of the night.

The young boy sensed someone entering inside the tent snuggling on him. A small hand moves around him, In seconds her body is clinging to him, as they shared body heat, Elijah felt a strange warmness spread on him. 'I never knew the reasons for why she had approached me, but i don't think she has any evil intention, so what if she was sent to observe me. There's a purity to her, naivety perhaps. For now I won't ask anything and will try to believe in her, but at least I should be careful around her.'

"Chloe, what are you doing?"

"I just wanted to sleep with you, Ell is much more comfortable with you as my pillow, why? could be you don't want me here?" And her eyes began to redden the same way as she always did before.

"Ahh, okay. do what you want, you know i can't beat you when you talk to me like this"

A great smile blossom on her face. "Yay! And Ell, you will never be able to beat me." Then she kissed his face before she fall asleep.

Seeing she was truly asleep, Elijah closed his eyes feeling happy with the warmth beside him.

...

Inside the dark world, a female figure had revealed a light smile at the same time she felt a sour taste in her mouth she didn't know how to explain why she was feeling this.
