A commotion outside the small hidden Dullahan Village

"Slave trader! How dare you approach our village!" A Dullahan guard exclaimed while expressing anger and cautiousness.

Another Dullahan noticed Awa being carried on Vincent's back. After blinking twice to confirm he didn't see wrong, he exclaimed, "It is Awa! Awa has been brought here by this slave trader!"

The four other Dullahans noticed Awa. They clenched their spears with a firm grip and glared at Awa as if she had betrayed them.

"Don't attack this human. He isn't a slave trader. He saved my life, treated my wounds, fed me, offered shelter, and later offered to take me home." Awa tried to explain, yet the five Dullahans remained glaring. 

During the loud shouting of the five Dullahans, a Dullahan woman poked her head from the corner of the log wall. The woman heard the name Awa and her eyes could not hold the tears back.

The woman ran toward them. She passed the five Dullahns acting as guards and went in front of Vincent.

*Sniffle* "Awa."
