Chapter 438

"This place isn't where a person can rest. We will have to go a bit further." Blondie pleads.

"Is there water?" 

I know my question is a foolish one, but can you blame me for asking?

"We left our bag at the inn, there's no water on us now," Blondie kept on looking at the houses as if expecting someone to spring forth from one of those houses.

"Here have this one. You need it more than I do," Star brought out a small container from her small pocket.

"You've been with water all along?" Elit looked at her as if she's some kind of a traitor.

"Why didn't you get yours like she did? " Ije narrowed her eyes at Elit.

"This is the water from our cave. I've been with it from the start of our journey." She placed the container in my hand, " it will hopefully be enough to make you journey to the gate. The water is said to strengthen a weak person."

" Thank you, " I smile at her before emptying the entire content into my dry mouth.

" Thank you for this Star. I will repay you when all this is over, " Blondie said. His face that was once filled with concern looked really happy.

" You don't have to repay me. It's our duty as the disciples to guide our master, " she bowed.

I felt really energized after drinking the water. The aches in my body have reduced. I don't feel really tired like I was before.

" I think I can manage," I stood up from the ground more energized than I was when I sat on the floor.

I feel like I can walk for miles without stopping.

"The water is really working," Elit smiled at me.

"Let's go," Blondie held my hand in his, and together we all walked towards the gate. 

"We're almost near the gates," Blondie said when we walked past the street he claimed to be the last one before we get to the gates.

"I will need you all to act docile. No matter what happens, don't talk." 

" Why shouldn't we talk?" Elit the talkative asked..

Her words showing she's likely to talk even though Blondie have asked us not to.

" The spell is waning. The more you talk in the presence of a wolf, the more your scent return to its normal one," Blondie stopped. "Don't talk Elit."

"She won't do so. I will make sure of that," Ije said.

"Watch out!" Bub one of the silent girls pointed at an advancing werewolf. A fully changed one, and the way it charged towards us made me aware of it's intent. It doesn't look as if it came for peace.

i sent balls of ice towards him, and it caged him. Making him momentarily frozen.

I looked at him and back at my hands. I wasn't expecting ice or anything other than fire to be released, seeing the ice is a shock itself.

"Oh my gods," Elit's eyes sparkled like that of a child.
