7.6 Sacred Beast

" Ready to leave? " Azriel ask Azrael who looked back in the forest.

Azrael faintly smiled at him and nodded.

Early in the morning, they immediately set out to Azriel's base. He has prepared his clothes and enough supplies for their journey back, Azrael patted his chest where a knife was hidden in his jacket and followed them outside the forest, still he can't help but look back to the place where he has live all his life and feel reluctant to go. He probably won't be able to go back here again...

He sighed, feeling melancholy.

Azriel saw this, " Let's rest for a while? "

Ligaya heard their conversation, and became worried, " Are you tired? "

Azrael shook his head, " I'm fine really, just... "

He looked back again and slowly said, " I think I can't go back there anymore in the future... "

Ligaya watched him looking sad and took his hand, determined, " Don't worry, I'll be here for you! "

" Huh? Yes? " Azrael nodded, confused at Ligaya's sudden words.
