Lily walked alongside Lucius, occasionally stealing glances at his profile. A sense of sadness weighed on her heart. She knew that he wasn't an evil person; in fact, his heart was quite pure.
However, the actions they had taken, the killings and casualties along the way, were starting to take a toll on him.
She didn't feel the same way, as the world had abandoned her at a young age, leaving her with only her master as a fatherly figure in her later years, and he had been the only one there for her.
As they passed by the Kobold city from a distance, avoiding contact with others, taking detours and whispering to each other, their mood lightened a bit. Lily tried to keep the conversation going, and Lucius pushed the negative thoughts to the back of his head.
The sun was setting, and as night approached, they began to worry that they might not find the camp. That's when they spotted someone familiar, someone they had almost forgotten about.
