Ray's pov.

I watched as emma scolded don again.
I smiled under the mask we were wearing.

We planned to make a new promise .. minerva gave us the option of choosing our future to which we are thankful. We weren't sure if he's still alive since he only left us a recording of himself under goldy pond.

And we all agreed to emma with her plan to make a new promise. The demons shall never eat a human or human cattle again and we will all cross over to the human world.

But to be able to do that.. we have to go to the seven walls where we will meet the person.. demon rather.. i dont know what he is exactly but the demons treated him very highly.. the best human meats where offered to him.emma already had an idea on what place the seven walls is like. It wasn't found in any maps here in the demon world so we went somewhere that minerva's riddles lead us to. And that's where emma connected to that creature.

We needed to find clues on how to get there that's why we ventured to the demon villages heading to their shrines where they prayed to him.

We had gilda and don come with us along with zack and violet to travel around.

"We really have to give kudos to nijel's team for this!" Emma said pointing to the mask and cloaks that we wore.

We nodded at her as we ventured to the shrine to look around.. i guess this is the place.

There where 7 caged small shrines and each one had a painting on it's ceiling . Emma was right. This should help us get to the seven walls. As emma stated before 'we could meet him in the middle of night and day' or something along those lines.

We only had 6 months left to do the promise before we had to go back to save phil and our siblings... we promised to get them before they turn six so that they wont get shipped out.

"I cant believe it actually worked!" Don said in astonishment as we came back to our world.

We tried following the clues of the paintings using the golden water we had taken from our previous trips.. placing a vida herb the one used in gupna ceremonies...and then we were sent to the gates of the seven walls. However.. we didn't dare open it yet. We just needed to try no need to rush.

"At least we know that it works.. let's head back now." I said as we all nodded at each other placing our masks back as we headed our way out of the forest.. we still had to cross the village to get out.

It was dark at night and there's rarely a demon outside just a few And that made us less worried .

We walked as we whispered silently to each other . We needed to look natural and to not be suspected.

"How many days will it take us to get back? I missed taking a warm nice bath~" violet said as she continued to walk .

"It should only take us two weeks or less i guess." Don said quietly. he's still not used to walking into demon villages. He said that the feeling of getting caught is nerve wrecking.

"I feel you.. id really like to have a long nice warm bath" gilda said sighing deeply.

"Hey guys... dont look directly but i think there's someone on that tree..."zack suddenly stated as he nodded his head to the tree to our left.

We all froze as we held our mask secretly as we turned our head to our left. It looked like we weren't looking there at all from the outside.

"L-lets continue to walk as if we're normal demon kids ok?" Gilda said ushering us to go.

And even tho im walking slower than them and that my head is still facing the left as i watched that tree. I didn't trip.

Tsk.. i can see you.

"We should hurry.. i think those adults are looking for us." Emma said sternly as we continued to walk a bit more faster .

Those should be spies since they look like they're fully equipped. Are they really looking for us? But how would they know that we're here?.

I watched as that guy seemed to just casually looked around the place-

*BOOGSH*

"R-Ray!?" I heard emma whispered as they turned to look at me on the ground with a .. d-demon kid on top of me.

I quickly adjusted my mask as it bended to the side but what shocked me is the kid.. his mask fell off showing a .. human child?

His face contorted to a panic as he quickly grabbed his mask placing it back as he looked around sighing as he saw nobody.

He placed his hand on his lips as if saying shush since im the only one who saw.. he thinks im a demon child then.

Is he an escapee?

He was about to walk away as we were all still frozen from shock as i laid on the floor prompting my elbows to the floor rising me up a bit from completely laying down.

*swish!*

I looked to my left as an arrow suddenly came out of nowhere fast... wth!?

My eyes widened as my mouth opened to warn him but its seems like time slow downed as he was suddenly pulled back by someone .. but what shocked me was the way the person who pulled him grabbed the arrow with ease breaking it in half.

"I told you to not run around.. they found us.." she said.. that's definitely a she... her voice reminded me of-

*swish*

"Go now! Run!" She screamed to emma and the others as he broke the arrow that she caught once again before it hit me.

She quickly pulled me up by my shoulders and pushed me to run as she continuously grabbed the arrows before running to a sprint with that boy..... that boy is f-fast !?

"Is no one really going to talk about what happened back there?!" Don shouted frustratingly.
