                       Elara gasps. "Watch your language! I can have your head off!" Hyunjin clenches his fists and squeezes hard, trying to control himself. He talks in a yelling-whispering tone. "Have my head off??? I risked my life to save yours and you dare to threaten me??" Felix gulps and grabs Hyunjin's hand, squeezing it and trying to keep him steady. Felix tries to sweeten his voice. "Elara... Please! I don't want to pick you up by force." Elara turns her back towards Felix and crosses her arms. "You're both trying to ruin my life. You're so ungrateful! I should've let you be eaten by night monsters." Felix takes a step forward, gripping Elara's arm tightly and pulling her towards him brutally. "I can't take this anymore! If this is the situation..." Felix bends down and picks Elara up in bridal style. He's done with her bullshit. Felix continues talking and starts to walk as Elara struggles to get back on the ground. "... I'll have to take you up myself. I'm done with your behaviour-" Felix's words are cut by a masculine voice. "What are you doing with my wife? Put her down this instant!"

                             Felix turns around, while Elara struggles to get back on the ground. She endlessly pushes Felix's chest, trying to set herself free, but he is too strong for her. He doesn't move one inch. She screams towards the Lord "My Lord! Please! Help me-" Felix didn't wait too long. He was already thumping his feet on the ground, running away from the red headed monster. Hyunjin quickly jumps over the hedge and skillfully takes Elara in his arms within seconds. Felix manages to jump too, but they don't have time to think. An army of demons, ugly creatures and monsters is already blocking all the exits. They were aiming for the nearby stone fence, but what now? There is no way they can break through that strong fence of stale flesh and bones. Hyunjin puts Elara on the ground, holding her waist thightly with one hand and getting his dagger out with the other. He slits the throat of one of the demons and screams. "Felix, do something!"

                                     Felix grabs his necklace tightly and mumbles some words, concentrating on a spell. He takes Elara's and Hyunjin's hands and soon rises a protection globe around them. The purple mist clouds that are surrounding them soon transform into thick, glassy ice. The loud thumps and bangs resound endlessly as the  creatures try hard to break through the globe. Felix sees through the purple glass wall the Lord riding on a black horse with shiny hair. He raises his sword towards them and screams with a thick, raspy voice. "You think you can leave with my wife and my unborn child?" Felix feels the air leave his lungs. He whisperes, more to himself "Unborn child? That means..." The sounds of fists banging doesn't stop, as Felix tries to ignore them. The anger breaks through his voice as he throws an agressive question into Elara's face. "Are you pregnant?" Elara gulps down the lump of fear that formed in her throat and holds her slightly curved belly that is hidden under the white night gown. "Only a couple of months. We just found out-" Hyunjin steps in front of Felix, not letting Elara finish her sentence. "Then here!..." he gets out of his pocket a small, night sky blue jewel. It is Elara's forehead jewel, the one she took off. Afterall it wasn't a bad thing he took it from the ground. It will be helpful. He puts it in Elara's hand, looking straight into her eyes. "Here! I have a wedding present for you!" She looks at it, it takes a few seconds to recognize it but finally she realises.... her forehead jewel. Hyunjin and Felix exit the protection globe, leaving Elara alone with her own thoughts.
