Event 03

Fangs seeing that his master is sleeping for a long time decides to wake him up, he starts licking his face, but stops immediately, because he realizes that he is not alone, slowly turns around, looks at the trees and starts barking.

Someone slowly appears in the top of a tree, her long green hair touches her knees due to her crouched position, in her hands are a bow and arrow, she aims ready to kill her unconscious target.

"GRRRR"

The string is fully drawn and when is close to shooting, she jumps back, seconds later a fireball hits exactly where she was.

Despite its sloppy form the arrow comes out of its bow and flies toward Adam.

"Good thing I heard the dog bark, otherwise Adam would have died"

Out of the bushes comes Cain talking to a barefoot recruit.

"Did you see that sir? It looked like a woman"

"Impossible, no woman could climb to such a height, much less use a bow, I'm going after him, take care of my friend please".

The red-haired prince takes off running after his target, while the recruit stands mumbling as he slowly walks over to the unconscious young man.

"I really wanted to take care of Prince Cain, not some random bastard"

The young man with his eyes closed speaks casually.

"Then go after him, I don't need your help anyway"

"What? Are you alive? I thought that man had hit you".

"Currently I doubt that any stray arrow will hit me, now shoo! I need to wait for her to come back and try again."

"Wait for 'her'? The prince said..."

"I listened to what he said, and it is wrong, and you are the proof, now go"

The soldier made a complicated expression, a mixture of fear and surprise, then her legs trembled and tears came to the corner of her eyes and she collapsed in tears.

The young boy who was resting with his eyes closed finally sat up and looked in the direction of the recruit for the first time.

"I'm not the first one who knows about your secret, so why are you crying?"

"Because... you're going to tell on me and I'm going to die"

Her tears and fear shuffled her words, but it was understandable, the kingdom did not allow women to even pick up a shovel, imagine a sword, only men were allowed in the army or magic academy.

"Don't worry I have more to worry about, so I suggest you leave now and leave me alone"

"I can give you everything, even my precious purity, but don't tell anyone, please"

The woman kneels in front of Adam.

"What a bummer, once activated this won't stop happening"

"Okay, I accept your possessions, now go away otherwise I will personally tell Cain about your dual identity"

Immediately the woman stands up and wipes away her tears, then she smiles and runs toward Cain.

~Now I have to change my plan, since contacting them didn't work out.

The boy ponders for a moment and then gives an order.

~Pawn 02 go to the center of the forest, there you will find a cave, enter it and pass my words to the leader.

~Yes sir

"As for the others follow me and report back if you find anyone"

...

As he ran after the unknown figure Cain tried to make contact, but was answered with arrows, with the swing of his spear he was able to defend himself, but the more he saw the figure the more he couldn't tell with complete certainty if it was a man.

"Hey you, wait, who are you?"

"Don't follow me"

He finally got an answer, this made him happy, but at the same time with a strange feeling since the voice was not male, however before he could remove his doubt, an arrow hit his shoulder.

The sound of wind being cut off was all he could make out, and with the impact he took three steps back and faced the one who shot at him.

"Filthy human get out of our forest"

It was a woman with fur under her body, and ears of some animal, she came out of the cover of the trees, in her hand a bow as big as a child, and on her back a quiver full of arrows.

"Anima, dare you break the peace treaty?"

In response, another arrow was shot at him, but that was defended by a bag that was thrown from a nearby bush.

"Are you all right prince?"

The young soldier was panting, he appeared to have ran as fast as he could, seeing his companion's effort a flame flares up inside Cain, he removes the arrow from his shoulder and burns the wound, thus stopping the bleeding.

"You won't take me by surprise this time"

He moves towards the woman and leaves a trail of fire where he passes, he dodges arrows shot at him on the way, and when he gets close enough to cut the woman, an unknown arrow pierces his thigh.

Immediately he drops under one knee, and a man comes down from a nearby tree, he appears to be twice as big as the woman and wears a mask, as well as carrying a crossbow in his hands.

"We are beast men, not Animas"

The man speaks as he steps on the prince's head, the woman pushes the man away and holds the prince by his hair, their eyes cross and the hatred of both clashes.

"Scar will be happy with the prince's capture"

In response the prince shows a cynical smile.

"Your mistake was not killing me"

Immediately he opens his mouth wide and spits out a ball of fire the size of a fist, the woman dodges it with some ease, but cannot predict the next move, the path of fire that the prince left, was snaking towards them.

The fire seemed alive and completely ignored its conjurer and jumped directly at their enemies, the man who was furthest away managed to dodge the attack, but the woman ended up having her lower body burned.

"Die"

While she was trying to put out the fire the prince was already on his feet, his spear ready to pierce the woman's body, but before he could actually hit his target, someone pulled him and caused him to lose his balance and fall sitting up.

"Let's run away"

Marcos had appeared from somewhere, and three more young men were running towards him.

"No, we are outnumbered, we can win"

"Don't let anger cloud your judgment prince, even if there were ten of us we couldn't beat the one in the mask, the third in command of the Anima army, head of the special forces, Mask"

Immediately Cain looks at the mask on the man's face and notices a small symbol in the middle of his forehead, a new moon, realizing his mistake he immediately turns his back, but as soon as he stands, his other thigh is hit.

"Aaaaaargh"

"You won't run from me prince"

The man ignored the wall of fire that had formed and his burning companion and began firing wildly in the direction of the prince and his companions.

"The prince is our priority, we have to save him"

The muscular young man jumped in front of the prince, he uncrossed his arms and made a symbol with his fingers and started to recite an incantation, immediately clouds started to form in the sky, the wind started to be strong and a mist formed in that part of the forest.

"Don't think you will run away forever your majesty"

Shouted the one in the mask, immediately Youm and Miles held Cain's arms and carried him away, while Marcos ran in the direction where he thought he saw someone.
