Elara approaches them slowly with her head pointed towards the ground. Hyunjin grabs her arm and pulls her into a group hug, holding them both tightly. "You made us understand that a fairytale can become a myth. You're astonishing, Lixxie!" He hugs his fellow travellers tighter, fearing the possibility of losing them again. He talks in a sweet, naive voice. "Our road shall be safe starting now. All the bad things put aside and the sun shall shine forever." Felix nods and runs his hand through Elara's ginger hair. "We made it here. There is nothing holding us back from achieving our goal." Hyunjin looks towards the sky. "We will save your mother." He notices a change in the distance, in the corner of his eyes, and even if he doesn't understand it entirely he doesn't say anything about it. He doesn't want to worry Felix, but he keeps an eye on the giant dark coloured water pond. It soon clicks as he thinks about every story he heard so far. Yes, you can't survive the Three Lost Wayfarers Cave, but they proved you actually can. Now, what about the Guardian of the cave? Yukarus, The Dismay, The Banished Son... Whatever its name might be, it doesn't sound right. They didn't meet him... yet. Right on time, as if they were waiting for Hyunjin's realization, wing flapping resound through the woods. Birds rise above the trees, rushing to leave the place, sensing danger, most probably. Black silhouettes paint the colorless sky, uneasiness nestling inside the pit of Hyunjin's stomach.
Hyunjin grabs Felix's and Elara's arms, vivid descriptions given by the few people who stepped back cowardly flashing before his eyes, materializing a horrendous monster destined to bring them the embalmed in blood end of the journey. He talks in a rushed tone as he drags them towards the boat. "We have to leave if we want to get out of this alive." Felix and Elara, to their praise, don't say anything about it, understanding that something is going on. They obey Hyunjin's rushed orders and jump in the boat, the pieces of wood clamped together with corroded metal nails rocking from side to side as they lose their balance and fall on the cold wooden bench. Hyunjin grabs the paddle and is about to place it on the shore, to push the boat towards the opposite side, the land belonging to the Presbien Forest.
