The revelation of the name

Robert's army had devastated Village Red, leaving destruction and chaos in its wake. Robert himself was frantically searching for his son, but the young man was nowhere to be found. Unbeknownst to Robert, his son was hiding in plain sight, disguised as a villager named Ren.

As Robert's soldiers terrorized the villagers, Ren huddled in a corner, his heart racing with fear. He knew that if his father discovered his true identity, he would be killed on the spot. Ren's mind raced with thoughts of his mother, who had died when he was just a child, and his father's cruelty and ambition that had driven him to flee Village Blue.

Nearby, Hoina's sister was also hiding, her eyes fixed on Ren with a mixture of curiosity and concern. She had noticed that he seemed different from the others, and she wondered what his story was. Inaya's heart went out to Ren, and she longed to help him, but she knew that her own life was in danger.

As the chaos intensified, Inaya crept closer to Ren, her voice barely audible above the din. "Hey, are you okay?" she asked, her eyes locked on his.

Ren nodded, his eyes scanning the surroundings nervously. "Yeah, I'm fine," he whispered. "Just trying to stay alive."

Inaya nodded sympathetically. "I know what you mean," she said. "I'm trying to do the same. My brother Hoina was killed in the raid, and I'm all alone now."

Ren's eyes widened in shock. "I'm so sorry," he said, his voice filled with compassion. "I know how it feels to lose someone you love."

As they spoke, Robert's soldiers closed in, their swords drawn. Ren and Inaya exchanged a terrified glance, knowing that their time was running out.

But just as all hope seemed lost, Inaya had an idea. "Quick, let's get out of here!" she whispered, grabbing Ren's hand. "I know a place where we can hide!"

Without hesitation, they fled the scene, dodging Robert's soldiers and making their way through the winding streets of Village Red. They ran past burning buildings and terrified villagers, their hearts pounding in their chests.

Finally, they reached a small cottage on the outskirts, where Inaya pushed open the door and pulled Ren inside. The cottage was dimly lit, with only a small fire burning in the corner. Ren and Inaya collapsed on the floor, exhausted and shaken.

As they caught their breath, Inaya turned to Ren with a determined look in her eyes. "My name is Inaya," she said, her voice firm. "And I'm not going to let anything happen to you, Ren."

Ren's eyes widened in surprise, but he smiled gratefully. "Thanks, Inaya," he said, his voice filled with relief. "I owe you one."

Inaya smiled back, her eyes shining with warmth. "You don't owe me anything, Ren," she said. "We're in this together, now."

And with that, the two of them huddled together in the small cottage, waiting for the chaos to pass and their fate to be decided. They knew that they had a long and dangerous journey ahead of them, but they were determined to survive and make a new life for themselves.

As they sat in silence, Ren's thoughts turned to his father and the destruction he had wrought. He knew that he would never be able to go back to Village Blue, and that his life would never be the same again. But with Inaya by his side, he felt a sense of hope and purpose that he had never felt before.

And so they waited, their hearts filled with fear and uncertainty, but also with a sense of determination and hope. They knew that they would face many challenges in the days ahead, but they were ready to face them together, as long as they had each other..
