This day was the worst in the history of the tribe. They felt like some strong being had his eyes on their tribe. They were all thinking about how they could have angered him. He had taken away the lives of so many of their kin, and they still had no idea who he was.
This mystery turned into fear. They have discovered only the skeletons of the ones left in the swamp. No one of them had managed to come back alive. It was not the time for their tribe to appear outside. They have hidden themselves within the boundaries of their village.
Fear of the unknown took away the sleep of every one of them; they were now even scared of being attacked by other tribes. Even their chief, who was the wisest of them all, was clueless. Even he had never faced or heard of such an opponent who could make people disappear out of thin air.
He tried to think of a way to save his tribe. He gathered every lizardman and asked that no one leave the area. Maybe that being will not dare to attack them here. That's what was going on inside his head. He was also thinking of asking for help from the other tribe, but he was not able to do it, thinking, Why would she help him?
She would even make fun of me. She had been mad at me for years. There is nothing she hates more than me. She also has her own tribe now. He was conflicted and not able to make a decision.
"I would ask for her help if the situation became worse. Looking at it this way, he would not eliminate all of us in one go. I can't lose; I have still not found that place. It was my mission to search for it."
"If I couldn't complete it, I would never be able to return. Everything would become better once I found the location of that place."
His expression improved as he said it. He again calmed down. He started preparing for tonight; he was unsure if that creature would attack them here in their own territory. The day passed while making preparations, and the moon appeared again in the sky.
The shadow creatures appeared again. They were all ordered by Rishi to follow him. He was himself moving forward, rising on the giant sword, and Kajal was with him. She was excited; she asked, "Where are we going?"
"To Lizardman Village," replied Rishi with a smile.
"Are we going to spy on them?" she asked. She wanted to feel how it looked to spy.
"No, we are going to exterminate them," said Rishi casually.
"You're kidding, right?" She asked, thinking it was one of his jokes, but when she saw him not replying, she looked at his face and noticed that he looked serious.
"Do we have some secret weapon to use against them, or have you found their weakness?" she asked, believing Rishi's previous statement.
"I don't know their weaknesses, nor do I care; as for the secret weapon, I am traveling with it right now," he said jokingly.
"Where?" said Kajal with a curious expression. She looked around but couldn't find any weapons.
Rishi's smile became brighter. "Where are you looking? Aren't you my trump card?"
"me, trump card? How, I am not that strong," she said in a confused way; she was guessing Rishi could be mocking her.
"You are. You would cast the forbidden spell 'Lightning Calamity' and then leave using the return ticket," said Rishi.
"You... why would I do that?" she said, getting annoyed.
An angry expression appeared on her face. "Pray that there never comes a day when I have to use that spell; It will bring a natural disaster that cannot be stopped."
"With me, I don't think that day is far," he said in a serious tone before adding, "But don't worry, even in that situation, I would be there so you can escape easily."
She looked at his back and suddenly felt the urge to hug him; his words were sometimes very comforting. They soon reached a place deep inside the forest area that was filled with trees and bushes. "Are you sure?" Kajal asked again as she looked at the number of opponents.
"Don't you trust me?" He said as he held her hand, and they started walking toward the Lizardman Village. Kajal's heart was racing from thrills and excitement, while Rishi appeared to be calm. "You always wanted to see my other side? and wanted to know why I hid it from you. Let's see if, after today, you will be able to treat me the same."
"This is also the real me, Kajal; I don't want to hide it from you. I would always be like this; I have decided not to hide anything from you." He said this as he smiled at her, his eyes filled with sadness.
Kajal looked at him like this, and suddenly she felt like her biggest worry had surfaced in front of her in a weird way. Still, she looked into his eyes and said, "I would always treat you the same, and I am happy you are willing to open up. When I decide to be close to you, I have already thought about every situation. Do you think I am some little girl who has never seen the cruelty of nature?"
When he looked at her response, He suddenly felt comfortable, but instead of getting happy, his face turned serious. "I hope your answer remains the same after you watch this," he said coldly. His eyes became cold, and he started walking towards the Lizardman Village.
He didn't use any concealment this time, and the lizardman soon noticed him. They saw a figure approaching them. At first, they thought it was some powerful being, but when they saw that it was a human kid, They burst out in laughter; their mouths watered; they had not severed tender human meat for a while.
In many previous years, after a regular interval, they could taste the delicious human meat if they moved to the border region. It was time for that, but this time they were too caught up in this situation, due to which they never got the time, but who could have thought their prey would come walking towards them?
Unlike them, the priest was a little worried; he could not sense any presence from this boy as if he were a mortal. But it was impossible for some mortal to roam around here, and his confidence also worried him.
If Kajal knew what was going on inside Preist's mind, she would have congratulated him. He was thinking in the right direction. She had felt a chill presence around her, and she noticed the strange shadows crawling and following Rihsi. At first, she was scared of them, but when she saw them closely, She sighed in relief; they were Shadow creatures, the ones that always guarded her.
She was very comfortable around them now. At first, she thought they were creepy, but now she had gotten used to their presence. She looked at the confident back of the boy. What was he going to do? She was curious.
