The crag of the fire was the only sound that could be heard in the silent night.

  thia looked at the calm sky with resignation. It had been a few days sihe frontation with the nobles of the Firel house. With no other option they had had to flee deep into the forbidden forest.Her parents, her servants, her territory, everything was now lost.

  She looked at the bars of the cage she was in. A filthy cage through which tless sves had passed.That's right, they too had been captured by the svers who roamed the forest in search of lunaris.

  At least the three siblings had been put in the same cage. If they had been separated, their already unstable youthful minds would probably have pletely colpsed.

  Looking at her two younger siblings Aria and Julian, who slept cuddled up o her, with dried tear marks on their dirty faces, thia felt despair take hold of her. However, she would not let herself be defeated. She could not afford to show weakness, since she was the st pilr for her little brothers.She gritted her teeth and stopped the tears that threateo escape without her permission. She was a strong woman, that was how she had been raised.The world of nobles was a cruel world, sihey were little they had received all kinds of training from their parents. Now, their territory and their title had been taken away from them, but in their bohey still carried that noble education.

  thia closed her eyes and prayed. Her family worshiped the god of providence, Selder.It didn't matter if her prayers were not answered as usual, she o try something. Anything was better than sitting idly by.

  Who knows? Maybe this time, her prayers would finally be answered.

  Lanti watched the young human girl praying with her eyes closed, and in her mind, the image of that handsome human appeared fleetingly. On that occasion, she had captured him and locked him away in Lunaria's underground prison. Now, it was her turn to be captured.She remembered her good friend Sonya, and a tremendous bitterness washed over her. It was best not to think about it any longer.

  After being captured, she had not beeed badly by her captors. She had simply been thrown into this cage, and for the few days the group of captors adva a slow pace through the forest, heading towards Ferulia. Halfway there, the group joined an even rger caravan, made up of several carriages carrying cages full of sves.It was at that moment that the cage that had until then been for her exclusive use, received its sed guest. A young Ferali covered in wounds that had beeed rather clumsily. The young woman had remained unscious from beginning to end, and it did not seem that she would wake up anytime soon. She had a fever and her breathing was somewhat bored, she did not seem to be having a very good time. Lanti had checked her situation a couple of times, ing to the clusion that if she did not receive medical attention in the few days, the girl would die succumbing to her wounds.The guests in her cage, to her surprise, were three human children. Their appearance was simir to that of the human she had captured the previous week. But Lanti, who had never had dealings with other humans, did not know if this simirity was important or if all humans just looked the same.

  Now, several days had passed and they would soon arrive in Ferulia. She would finally discover who was behind her kidnapping. She would never believe that simple svers would dare to kidnap a captain of the royal guard. Behind this group of people there must be someone powerful, with great influen Lunaria. In her mind there were several didates who met these requirements. As one of the most renowned prodigies, she had e into tact with some people of such status.

  With her powers sealed by Noral's shackles, she could not resist at the moment. All he could do was wait, keep a cool head, maybe an opportunity to escape would present itself iure.Watg the human girl pray, she also closed her eyes and began to pray to the dragon goddess.

  ...............…............

  Luke opened his eyes with difficulty. He was so tired that his eyelids closed involuntarily.For a few moments he looked at the darkness of the cave. Little by little, the memories of what had happened began to return, and his mind began to clear up.

  "Ugh, I overdid it a little this time," Luke said, feeling the state his body was in. His muscles screamed in pain with every slight movement he made.

  Luke felt a slight pressure on his chest that made him feel somewhat unfortable. With great effort he raised his head a little and looked at his chest. There, a small naked girl was curled up on his body, sleeping peacefully.Luke's heart skipped a beat"Police, I swear I don't know anything about this situation!" He screamed in his mind

  Watg the little girl, and feeling her familiar presence, Luke came to the only possible clusion.This was the beautiful woman he had seen before losing sciousness. As for why she had suddenly turned into a girl? He couldn't know, there are mysteries in the world after all. When she wakes up he would ask her.

  Luke tio look with great effort and could see that his limbs that had been severed by the spider queen, had now returo normal. He moved the fingers of his hand slightly, and before he could feel the joy aining his limbs, what he felt was the tremendous pain that his muscles were transmitting to his brain after making such a tiny movement.Luke took a breath, wing in pain.After a moment, the pain subsided.

  "I better not move for now. Syzy!"

  Luke called out to the system, but there was no response.

  "Ihe system is deactivated. I don't know how long it will take for it to be up and running again. It's best not to t on it for now."

  He assessed the situation he was in and decided that for the moment he could do nothing but cultivate his spiritual power.The girl tio sleep unfazed, and he began to absorb the abundant spiritual energy from the epiter of the territory. This was the best pce to cultivate!

  ...........................

  The dome posed of dense spiritual energy dissolved, revealing the surroundings.Seeing the familiar sery around him, Fly warmth in his eyes. Then came the relief of having escaped danger, and immediately after that the despair of thinking that their savior was still in that dark cave, fighting for his life!

  The pce where Luke had sent them was the tral pza of Lunaria. inally Luke had fed the transportation talisman with the iion of using it to escape in case of some unforesee. The inal location of the arrival point had bee in his room, however he had had to alter the destination at the st moment. If he sent so many people to such a small space, it would have been a disaster. Some people would have materialized in the middle of the walls and died immediately.At one point Luke thought of sending them directly to the garden of the holy dy Namira, but he discarded that idea sihe situation in the church was not pletely stable. If he sent that group of people, he could not only endanger all of the already miserable prisoners of the spider queen, but also Namira, arently did not have that much power within the church, despite being the holy dy.

  The prisoners were in a terrible state of health, poisoned and paralyzed, so he couldn't send them out of the city. The only acceptable pce he could think of at the moment was Lunaria's tral pza, which had rge empty green spaces where his teleportation spell would certainly not cause any major invenience.

  Flynn was not the only scious prisohere were several who had withe entire process by which they were rescued, although they had been passive partits, uo tribute anything to the situation.They had now returo Lunaria and were so happy that tears of happiness ran down their cheeks.

  The appearance of a rge group of people so suddenly obviously attracted the attention of all the Lunaris present in the tral pza. Excmations of surprise began to resonate oer another, and immediately afterwards an arm flooded the peaceful atmosphere of the city ter.

  A rge group of soldiers suddenly flooded the viity.

  " Stay back! All civilians, keep your distance!"

  The soldiers began to give orders, and the people present immediately responded out of fear of being involved in some i. Could this group of people who had appeared be attackers?

  The soldiers surrouhem, and Flynn gathered all his remaining strength to shout."Help! We are citizens of Lunaria!"

  The soldiers were unfazed by their shouts. They had a protocol to follow. They stood guard, waiting for orders.A middle-aged Lunari walked through the crowd and came to the front of the soldiers. It was the head of the urban guard Lewis. Immediately afterward, several other Lunaris whose rank was unknown but who possessed a tremendous level of cultivation appeared alongside the former.

  After seeing the situation, and the state the "intruders" were in, they sighed in relief. This group of people posed no threat to them.

  Lewis inquired about how to proceed with the powerful Lunaris who had appeared at the se. After getting an answer, he gave orders to his soldiers.

  "Seize them all!" He said in a powerful voice that extended even beyond the immense tral pza.

  The soldiers responded affirmatively and immediately captured all the intruders.One by ohey were transported to the underground prison, where they would be interrogated. However, the Lunaris who had escaped death at the hands of the Spider Queen did not feel any fear of being captured. Surely everything would be fine ohey expihe situation, they thought.Only little Fly a feeling of uneasihat he could not expin.

  Knoock

  The door to the rge room where Queen Zara was cultivating her spiritual energy rang.

  The queen opened her eyes and stood up zily.

  "e in," Zara said in her nguid voice.

  Godrick Stoered the room with his usual solemn expression.

  "I have a report, Your Majesty. A rge number of individuals have teleported into the city, appearing in the tral square. They have beeained by members of the city guard and taken to the prison for questioning."

  "Very well, I want a detailed report of the euation as soon as it is avaible." The Lunari queen did not pay much attention to the matter, she already knew of the arrival of these people. What really ied her was the whereabouts of young Luke Lyriksen, as well as the oute of the events ierritory of the spider queen. That's right, Queen Zara was aware of the events that had taken p the territory of the beast. Or at least part of it. She only khe events inscribed in the causal nodes, which had been unicated to her through the oracles of the dragon goddess. What she wao know was how the presence of the boy who was not supposed to be there would have affected the normal development of events.

  Godrick did not retreat. His expression turned a little gloomy and he tinued with his report.

  "Your majesty, there are irregurities in the handling of this case. The urban guard did not report the i and they themselves will carry out the interrogation, without allowing the participation of the royal guard."

  Queen Zara narrowed her eyes, her aura turning sharp.

  "Oh? The nobles are bolder than I expected. They surely know that I already knew of the arrival of this group of people, sihout my permission, no one could carry out such a massive teleportation within my territory. Which means that the fact that they have taken such as, is simply with the iion of sending a message."

  Godrick did not say anything, but his gaze became gloomy and there was a hint of bloodlust in his aura.

  "There is no need for you to be so angry Godrick, there is o lose your cool over the as of a couple of is that do not know their pce. I am sure they think that everything is uheir trol simply because I have let them do what they wanted i period of time. They are being arrogant."

  "Your majesty, should we take a? Just give me the order and I promise t the heads of the traitors before the dawn!"

  "Don't wodrick, you will have your ce. But now is not the time, we ake hasty moves and risk ruining the goddess' pns."

  Godrick immediately restrained his aura that had exploded like a released stream of water, auro his usual solemnity.

  Queen Zara smiled, showing all her beauty and tinued saying"If they want to act like big shots, let them. I want you to secretly watch their movements, but do not intervene in their as. Just make sure to preserve the physical iy of the children. Even if they have to suffer a little, do not aless absolutely necessary. Let them tio believe that they are in trol of the situation."

  "Yes, your majesty!" Godrick responded forcefully, turned around ahe room.

  In the rge room only the pensive Lunari queen remained."I hope that the universal warrior is as powerful as the prophecies say. Otherwise…"

  A final sigh sounded in the room.
