October 22nd, 2020.

Crossing various other villages in my way to Uro I can only see destruction and nothing else. Houses burned, people killed and the ones that survive grieving over the killed, blood and fire everywhere.On reaching Uro in sunrise I was horrified to even think of what a happy little village my Uro was ,but now its nothing but a collection of burning huts and dead corpse. I ran towards my house and found all including Zamani and Sekolas dead. Although I already knew that Sekolas had died but still there was some hope that he might survive but seeing his dead corpse in front of me put me in a shock of grieve. I sat at the corner of my cottage holding the dead corpse of Sekolas in my hand and remembered the times we had together . Then I saw blood in his hand and on the handle of the sword of his father which he always use to have with him and on it I found goblin blue blood and a goblin dead corpse at one corner of my cottage. I realized that he was a fighter and died fighting the goblins. It made me realize what the Princess said to me when I was standing near the window and watching the war in fear, was correct. I was so lost in my thoughts that I didnt realized that Zoil was here holding his father Zamani's lifeless body. " Did you find someone alive in the entire village?", asked Zamani . " I dont know but I dont think there is", I answered. " We must go and look Freyre", he said,"if my father and your brother would have been alive they would have want us to see and help others",he completed slowly keeping down his fathers lifeless body and walking outside. I nodded and keeping down my brothers lifeless body I walked out holding Sekolas's sword. We started looking around and at the outskirts of the village just when we were about to go back I heard crying of a baby coming from and dashed cottage. Removing the debris we finally found the baby . Zoil picked him up." Is he alive?" I asked." I dont know.......he does not seem like breathing", he answered worriedly. Quickly we took him to our cottage and slowly but firmly Zoil kept blowing air in him until suddenly he started crying. Zoil and I started laughing ,it the happiest thing of that day.

" Freyre!",I heard someone shouting outside for me. I walked out ," What is it Vonramir?"I answered. " The Prince was worried where you had vanished.........I knew I would find you here.........so is your brother..........." Vonramir tried to sympathize but I spoke off before he completed," Dead", I replied . " Oh!........I am sorry for your loss......the Prince has called you.........", Zoil walked out holding the baby," You too Zoil.........the King has not yet woken up..........where did you find the baby anyway", Vonramir asked." We found it trapped under the debris of a collapsed cottage.........no one else in the village survived except for him", Zoil answered. The tradition in our village to honor the dead is by burning their lifeless bodies along with the cottage. So we rode a little distance , stopped , I prayed for Sekolas and the others and Zoil shot fire arrows at all the cottages. I said my final goodbye to Sekolas and we rode off towards the castle. 

"So did you talk to her", I asked Vonramir while on our way to the castle." Yes I did and I expressed my love for her and she accepted it", he answered with a smile. " So!........when is the marriage ", I joked. "I dont know Freyre.........she is a Princess.......and I am just a warrior.........Elrick and the Queen dosent know it yet........I dont know if they will accept it...........so I thought maybe after someday I will tell them........when everything gets back to normal", Vonramir explained. I nodded in agreement and came back to check on  the baby Zoil was carrying." So what had you plan for him", I asked Zoil. "I decided to raise him as his father", answered Zoil. "Good!......so what did you plan on naming him", I asked. " Zamani!", he answered,"I will name him after my father so that he also grows up to become a self-less and brave man just like him". " So..........I see you have gotten a new sword for yourself...........looks quite good and the craft on it............it almost looks like an elven blade but still a lot different", Zoil said pointing at my sword. " Where!.......oh this one..........I found it in the dungeon on the secret pathway from the Kings room..........I even forgot that I still have it.........I will keep the sword back to them", I answered. "Okay we have reached", yelled Vonramir.
