Twilight of Shepherd and Calamity

Ch10 Heading to Ladylake

Sorey POV

After the party, the little lights gradually went out, and the isolated villages were silent again. The villagers went home to rest, Velvet and I were no exception. In the past, I will definitely explore the ruins with Mikleo secretly, this is the time when at least people find us secretly going out, but maybe Gramps had turned a blind eye to us. However, now I have lost this impulse to explore, because the people who are always exploring with me are no longer there, maybe I am tired too. I flip through the pages of the Celestial Record that I and Mikleo have visited, recalling the funny and pleasant memories. At the party, I noticed that there were more Seraphim in the village that I didn't know. I wondered if some of them would like to explore the ruins like me.

I continued to flip through the Celestial Record, and Velvet, who was sleeping at a normal distance from me, suddenly took a quick breath and sat up, seemingly awake.

"Sorry. Did I wake you?"

"No, I have told you that I am a light sleeper."

"So....Having nightmare?"

"No, surprisingly, a longing dream."

The sudden rapid knock on the door interrupted our conversation. I went to open the door to see who was visiting and found Natalie and another new Seraph I didn't know.

"Sorey, sorry to bother you, but I really want to ask you for help!" Natalie said in a hurry.

"Calm down, what's going on?" I tried to calm her down first.

"We can't find our children, a new seraph in the village." The male seraph next to him said.

"Any clues to find?" Velvet joined the conversation.

"You are going to help too? Velvet?" I am surprised that Velvet is willing to help.

"Yes, I have woken up anyway." Velvet simply explained.

"Thank you. His name is Rune. He may be in the surrounding ruins. Sorey, you are the most familiar one with the ruins around here in this village, please help." Natalie explained her request.

"He loves to explore ruin too?" I am glad that the new villager love explores ruin like me.

"Yeah, just like somebody in the past..." Natalie teased, seems a bit relax than before.

"Haha, alright, we will find him, don't worry," I assure her to find Rune and went find him.

For the ruin nearby Elysia, that one must be the Mt. Mabinnogio Ruins, it was a deep ruin that I doubted I had fully explored it, I remembered there were hellions in there, then that would be dangerous for Rune to be there, we should find him out as soon as possible.

--------------------------(process skip!)-------------------------------

"I remember that there was gear to a hidden chambeer....Alright, opened!" We see a kid sitting there sadly. Velvet sighed lightly.

"Are you Rune? It is fine, we come to find you."

"....Are you human?" The little one surprised as that is his first time to see a human.

"Yes, you may not have heard of me, but I lived in Elysia a long time ago. Can you stand?" I lent my hand to pull him up.

"You know your parents are really worried about you to explore a ruin alone at such time. What are you going to do if you meet hellions? Can you fight back? It is really dangerous to go into such a place without leaving a message. You have no idea how is the one waiting at home worry when they find a family member is missing." Velvet is angry. She usually didn't care about things that not really related to her. This time she intervened and became angry unusually. After listening to her, I felt that I really should reflect on the behavior I had done before.
