Respect

Walking and walking but it felt as if they were not getting anywhere. It began getting cold, day by day and Zofo made torches using cloth that he stuck to a stone that Marco made just so he can move in night too. They had no choice due to the coldness and the food. There weren't any animals anywhere to be seen. Waking up from a night, it began snowing but the village was never to be seen and the food had ended. They were pretty much stuck. They were too far in to go back and had no choice but to move forward. The training stopped as they had to save their energy up and finally they began seeing something. It was icebergs, all over the place and inside them were full of animals. Bears, deers, birds and they all seemed to be running away. Zofo melted the snow and the animals were dead due to the coldness. He made a fire and the two guys ate to their full and kept on moving exploring through the icebergs. It began smelling disgusting and awful, the smell of blood and something else..

As they moved towards the smell they found a large amount of dead bodies, cut and shredded. Heads without bodies and even inside the ice spikes, there were bodies in there. As the weather got colder and colder, they found the reason for the coldness, they found the Ice Demon in the hands of a young man that was hanged on an ice tree that was frozen...

- Is that..? Marco asked slowly..

Zofo looked down sad and bowed down showing respect. Marco looked at him and followed his actions. Zofo went back, closed his eyes and focused his energy. He melted all the ice in the place without hurting anyone. He told Marco to make graves for everyone which was not a problem for him. Helping each other they put everyone in the graves. Zofo kept the Ice Demon but was not planning to use it, he thought he was not qualified to use it after what the real Ice Demon has gone through. The Ice Demon's eyes were still shining but it was not cold.

- Master, I just talked to the Ice Demon and he said that his owner killed everyone in the village after going on a rampage after his friends were all killed. He didn't have a family nor anyone to take care of him.

Zofo bowed one last time to the graves and left with hate in his eyes. The Royal Family is gonna regret all of this..

- Zofo, so what's the plan now?

Zofo took a second to think then he said;

- We have to keep going, we can't let things make us waver, if the ones with power don't do anything then no one will!

The guys filled up on food and began their journey, the last journey before they can go to the Royal Family. Or so they thought..

The last sword was the Light Demon. His power is supposedly able to befriend monsters and make them friendly but the village was far away, too far. While training, Zofo finally reached Rank 3 and Marco was right behind him in R4S5. It has been months and they have not found any village.. Is the map wrong? No one actually knew what was happening. Another few months have gone by and something unexpected happened..They're back to the Ice territory and the graves..Just what is happening?!
