They had travelled for a few hours and finally reached their first town to rest.

Reyn: Aklipor wants to talk to you.

Nana ; huh ?

Reyn ; no idea. He says it's just a talk. He prepared tea and cakes. Said he's very sincere and he has been told you like those ?

Nana : .... Weird.

Nana enters the room " hi ?"

Aklipor: hi. Please take a seat.

Nana sits down " hi. "

Aklipor: I'm married already. So don't worry. This is not some... Uncomfortable talk. Cakes and teas. The god said you would like this.

Nana : the god ?

Aklipor : yes. god Faytes. The god of fates.

Nana ; ok...

Aklipor: you have the same look of every solider I spoke too. Yes. I spoke directly to her. I'm not priest or Miko . But I have been spoken to. She gave me the riches I have now. Pointed me in every right direction.

Nana : I see. If I could see her, I would have some questions too.

Aklipor: I know what you mean. Please. Have some.

" Ok..." She was still weirded out but took the cake anyway " oh ! Yummy !"

Aklipor: thank you. My wife makes some really good treats

Nana : what do you want to talk to me about?

Aklipor: your questions. They are about your lover. Izuya ?

Nana : yes. Why did he have to die ?

Aklipor; you can't bring back the dead, my girl. I know you want to kill him because you hate him. But the love you have for Izuya, are they just because of the memories ?

Nana : memories are experiences. Those experiences... made me love Izuya. For the guy he is.

Aklipor: fair enough. Then , killing that man. Will it bring those sweet experiences back ?

Nana : .... No. But ... He has to pay. For what could have been  to have a whole lifetime.

Aklipor: you're determined.

" I am. I'm leaving." And she leaves.

Aklipor sighs " this is a difficult task. My god Faytes."

Finally they reached the city of Dewery. They were invited to Aklipor's house to stay for the night.

" Daddy !! Mommy !! " 7 children ran down the stairs and hugged them.

Eries ; you have many children.

Aklipor: yes. But not blessed with our own blood. Nevertheless. They are, our children.

" Hey look !! She's a kid like us !! And you're a soldier ? "

Grey laughed " yes kid. She's like us."

" That's so cool !! "

Aklipor: alright kids. It's late. Go to bed.

" But we wanna play with them !"

" Ya ya ya !! "

Aklipor: children.

" Mmm... " And they walked up the stairs to return back to their rooms.

Aklipor: children. Innocent aren't they ?

Nana : I guess.

Aklipor; come. Let's all have dinner.
