"Where is it at?" Mila asked, seeing how Ambrose looked a bit worried about sharing it. "You don't have to if it's important." Thinking of how important the place could be if Ambrose had not mentioned it before.

"No, it's just that I do not know if you all will know your way around it. Not sure if all of you will be able to oversee the tricks." Ambrose had gone there before, and it almost took his life. It took some time for him to enter and exit it. The place itself almost played with the mind.

"Why do you say that?" Aiken was a bit curious since he had never seen Ambrose so uncomfortable about the entire thing. The first time for him, he noticed that his friend was trying to warn them ahead of time about the location.

"This is a place that I can come and go easily, but I do not know if you all will be able to come and go around there." Ambrose knew that the place did not look dangerous, but once you entered, it would be hard to get out if you did not follow the path correctly and obey the nature of it. "It is Thick Bigden Covet," Ambrose said, making Noah recall the time when Ambrose was young and had gotten lost one time in that forest.

"No one ever goes there, but it has the best place if we want to be able to catch them with some heat. That may be what you need, Lady Mila. The path there is confusing, but as long as one stays on that path and does not harm the nature around there. The fog that remains there is not to be overlooked either. It can get thick enough to see nothing in front of you." Noah knew of the forest, and Ambrose had nearly lost his life there because he was trying to chase a criminal.

"I know my way around it, but I do not know if you all will be able to find your way around it." Ambrose knew that they all never experienced it, but he was close to death's door at that time when he was given a second chance at life.

"Since I do not know about the forest, then I will remain on the outside of the forest to see the master of the beast go in and then come out if they can." Aiken was going to remain outside of the forest if they failed. 'Might be for the better since Mila might need a lesser crowd around her.'

Noah had to do his part as well, perhaps even stay outside with Aiken. "I will stay outside of the path as well with my few men who will assist me in defeating this beast." Noah had contacted his men to get ready when it was time.

"Mila, you and I have to remain in the water that time. I want you to be sure to stay by me at all times." Ambrose did not want to lose Mila in the forest; it would be like an endless nightmare if one were to get lost in it.

"I know." Mila knew that he was worried about her; she held his hand, knowing that he was afraid for her.

"You both make me miss my wife. Don't make me feel more lonely than I already am here." Aiken sighed, leaving them now that they had a good idea of what their plan was.

"Ah, sorry." Mila smiled, seeing Noah leave the couple alone until it was time to set their plan into action. 'I hope that we can save and protect this child.' Mila hoped that they would not lose this child either. Ambrose hugged Mila, knowing that every child's life was important to her since she had a very soft spot for them.

Kate had started to roam the palace for quite a few days now, and she did not want to hang around with her younger sister all day since it was too tiring. She always ended up back at Noah's church, where she happily ran over to wait for him when he was done with his day job. Sitting out of the church entrance, she would wait for the bell to ring, and then the young children would run out, and he would be the last to come out.

[Right about time.] Kate was sitting at the entrance on the side, seeing the doors open to see the children run while they waved at her since they had been seeing her there all the time.
