Clank!

Francine open her eyes as she heard the door leading to their cell open.

"Wake up bitches! Its time for your food!" Walking closer to their cell is a person with a vulture head and a body of a man, the voice that came out of his mouth is as sweet as a honey, this demon is known as siren, they are the ones who lure sailor to their death using their sweet voice to hypnotise anyone who hear it.

Clank!

The demon toss the wooden plate 1 by 1 inside their cells, rotten fruits scattered everywhere as the plate hit the floor hard.

"I really hate this work!" The demon then went out of the room letting the door dangle open.

"Yeah, yeah, I also hate you for bringing rotten fruits you bird brain." Corea who was prison beside her cell protested as she ate her food.

"Stop waisting your, energy over nothing Corea." Francine told her as she took a bite at the rotten fruit.

"OK I'll stop, I just can't wait to be free and kill all of them using my arrow."

Tap tap tap tap

Just as Francine was about to reply they heard 2 footsteps coming from below them, where the guards are stationed, then whispers can be heard from below, with their heightened senses, thanks to the Moon's Blessing, they are able to hear even the drop of water from the floor below.

"You heard? Master has sends thousands of demonic wolves to hunt down the chosen?" A female demon, based on the voice, spoke.

Hearing this news all the Huntress stopped eating their dinner and focus their ears at listening.

"What do you mean by that?" The guard that brought them their food ask her back.

"I heard that master ordered Lodan to attack the chosen."

'Lodan!' Francine widened her eyes as she heard a name that she hates.

"Oh I know about that!" A younger demon voice was heard.

"So what is it?" The siren asked.

"Captain Lodan brought Ortheus with him and used it to attack the chosen."

"Ortheus, well with this the chosen is dead." The female demon spoke.

"Not quite."

"What do you mean?"

"What I mean is the chosen won."

"You're kidding right!?" The voices of the female and the siren were heard clearly.

"No I'm not I was beside master when he was hearing the report about the fight, to begin with the chosen was not alone, together with his partner the white pup he stand in front of hundreds of other foreigners and commanded them perfectly, it doesn't look like the wolves are doing the hunt, it looks like the chosen and the foreigners are massacring them, even Ortheus died without giving a good fight." The young man explains.

Hearing the news Francine was shocked, for the chosen to lead hundreds of foreigners and won against thousands of demonic wolves not only that, they also succeeded at killing Ortheus.

Francine looked at Ria who was listening with a serious expression of course Francine knows why, Ria wants to hear if her daughter Celine is fine, meeting her eyes Francine tried to calm her but another whisper was heard from bellow.

"At least some of them died right?" The female demon asked, even Francine and the others tense to hear the number of casualties.

"No, none died." The young demon replied with a solemn voice.

"What do you mean no one died!?"

"Just like what I said no one died, the formation was perfectly fixed, and when Ortheus came to attack, the Chosen only choose a small number to confront it and buy some time while the others killed the remaining demonic wolves, and after that Ortheus died in the hands of the chosen according to captain Lodan."

Francine was smiling this time, even Ria who was beside her has a calm eyes hearing that her daughter was fine, and not only that Francine was also happy to know that the chosen was already strong enough to confront strong opponent like Ortheus.

"But, what about Captain Lodan! He was their right? don't tell me he did nothing?" The female demon asked the young one again.

"Captain Lodan was only watching the fight, it was ordered by master, to begin with master is planing something for the chosen, that's why he didn't let Captain Lodan join the fight, if he does the chosen will die easily."

"What plan is it?"

"The master wants to capture the chosen and just like the huntress use his body to weaken seal of our general, I heard once the chosen was captured the unsealing process will be tripled in speed."

"So that's it huh."

"Not only that the blessing inside the chosen's body increases as he gets stronger."

"Ain't that bad for us?"

"You getting afraid that the chosen will be strong enough to oppose us, are your saying that you don't trust the strength of master and the other captains don't you?"

"Your right, the Captains are also stronger, will be able to capture him."

Hearing this Francine closed her eyes and tried to send a warning to her goddess but no matter what she do she can't connect to her, neither to the camp. Opening her eyes Francine saw that Ria was also worried.

"Don't worry Ria I know that the chosen is more clever than what we think, if he can defeat thousands of demonic wolves using hundreds of foreigners, I know that he will have a plan to free us unharmed and once we are free we will help the chosen in cleaning this tower clean, we won't leave even one of them alive."

"Thank you Francine, I just can't wait to see my daughter again."

"Me too Ria I can't wait to see little Celine again."

Francine then looked at the moon which showers them with its light.

'I hope that you're ok Celine and I hope that nothing happens to you and the chosen.'
