Benu, the Odd Creature

Benu who was silent all throughout their escape caught Elder Nua before he fell on the ground. 

"Lucien…" Yllana's cold gaze made him squint his eyes. 

"You are going to carve your own path. No need to worry about prophecies." He answered without looking at her. His eyes were now on Benu. The robe that Benu was wearing had fresh blood patches in several places. "What is this?" He pointed at Benu then looked at Yllana. He referred to him as a thing and not as a person or any creature.

Benu smirked. 

"We call him Benu for now. Nobody knows yet what he is. He managed to hide the Moon Princess's treasure and he gave back my necklace." She wanted to tell him that she does not know why he has it, she just kept her mouth shut. "I have to go find Laia."

The last battle has ended. Laia and Elisha might still be near the arena or in the medicine halls. "She needs me right now. And Elisha too, she…fought with Laia." 

"They did?"
