"Why? Whatever am not interested" Lee Ra declined it right off the bat. From the behind  Lee Ra, light giggling could be hard as Herm tried his best to suppress his laugh.

"Are you looking down on US?" Sir Magald said as he tried to buy enough time in case of any turn-off events.

Herm adjusted his throat a little "Sir Magald, please no offense. You should have already known which I expect you kindly understand that it's not fame or wealth that we are after?" Herm said as he... leisurely eating raisins from Lee Ra...

(Av: - What?... Seriously? ALL PEAS IN A PAD)

"May kindly enlighten me what it might be?" One of the men sneered at Herm. Herm just took a look at this man and said "Answers. We have our own questions which kept in darkness of this forest which need answers. And that's said revealing our identity's to an enemy who is unknown." With that said Lee Ra signaled others to move.

"Your saying that theirs an enemy we, Ravendra's most skilled mole's or our efficient intelligencers couldn't get hold of and how can we be sure that you are not a part of this So called ENEMY?"

Sir Magald countered with another question at Lee Ra who facing his back at him giving some raisins to Sam and Larv "We know who is our friend and who is our enemy Sir Magald" Now he turned around to face Sir Magald and said "But, Sir Magald do you know who is your friend and who is foe? DO...? YOU...?" Each word came as interrogating as his undulating voice Sir Magald's vacillated every single belief had believing his life on line in doing so.

"So, it's that way, but should I've been considering it for a long time now whether should I consider you as a friend (OR) a FOE?." Then he continued to pursue Lee Ra but Sir Magald tried to search for a way to know this masked man identity, guess all his methods were not of any use.

"Well, I promise you that I, we can keep you in dark until you are came to light willingly, if you want US to trust you then you have give us some trustworthy hand don't you think?"

"What are you implying at?"

"Take off that mask"

"That will not do, I have promised someone, a very important person, just like how you fight protect your loved ones, for me too_ and I've given my word of keeping my very existence a secret, that I'll never reveal my identity to anyone and me being friend or foe or whatever it'll be under the care of you and yours captains, that got nothing to me" Very faintly but was certainly, something trying it's best to jump out, at the same time working hard to hide behind those eye's_ Sir Magald couldn't see that this man who is standing before him putting up a strong front, was so vulnerable and tearing up behind that mask_ his thoughts may wavered for a movement but this is not the time to be sympathetic for petty tears...

"Captain! you say?" Magald pulled himself from wondering emotional self... (Iv: - Since he knew about me of course he would know captain. what am I even surprised for I would not even if he knew how much wealth is in treasury? Sigh)

"Certainly, his name was E, Eve, huh it's Evan? Sir Evan Lcarvorse! right?"

"He even knows Sir Evan can we trust him? But he did save us? What is the meaning of this? Hearing those word Magald was staring at Lee Ra and Mars in. confusion, and_

And this was the part where Lee Ra reaching his limit," Stop with nonsense" as he shouted at Mars.

"What's wrong? Just having some fun" Mars pouted like a child.

"What the meaning of this now?" Sir Magald questioned in anger...

"I'm sorry Sir Magald, all I want to protect innocents and keep this forest safe for merchants and other villagers who make a living through by depending on this nature, just nothing more or nothing less" After resting for a few seconds.

"Oh yeah! I would like to deal with this enemy of human kind, now if you are alright then excuse me, now I shall take my leave" Lee Ra Just about to take off leaving behind a half empty Sir Magald.

"Wait?? I still got some questions for you?"

The atmosphere fell into a deep silence and Sir Magald was left with too many UN-answered questions but before he could clarify his doubts the silence was broken by a wind trying to sneak around but failed to do so, and Just when Lee Ra and his friends turned around to live a wind blew past everyone as if it is passing a message to all who stood in silence for a moment then "Larv..." Lee Ra narrowing his eyes, if it was just normal wind they would've long gone it came along with stench of death.

"I know Lee Ra they are more than you can count two hands" Commented Larv as he signals others to alert.

"Well..."Dragging his voice across, then he said "Our friends took such great trouble to wish us on such hussy day, we shall not disappoint them! shall we?"

"Said with a smile on but it's not same one was filled with blood lust, it"

"Stop with that will you" Lee Ra wanted to vent his frustration on Mars_

"Hah-aha sorry" Mars patted on Lee Ra's back twice.

(Av; - Nah... He's just messing with you...😋)

Sigh... Lee Ra could only get an help out with a sigh from Larv. The gang just went through a fight and getting ready for another bout which surprised Sir Magald and his men.

"Then we should greet our friends, shall we?" A smile came across in Herm's lips as he was about face his so-called friends...

Seeing this from afar Sir Magald was no fool unable to predict what awaiting them in those wood's was the shadows of nothing but death this may not be their first attack and will be the last time when Lee Ra... Couldn't move a muscle in his body which became numb "MARS..."

"Sorry Lee, Can't have laying down for two days again can we?" Mars said in a low tone.

"Yeah...?  We can't handle you crawling out of cliffs after buried under rocks giving us scare, I guess?" Larv said with straight face with no emotions.

"Yeah... Can't take another stroke, my poor heart..." Sam said rubbing his chest.

"Anyway just stay put for now and we'll deal with these punk's" Said Herm.

"Hamster language?" Larv growled at Herm.

"Than say my name correctly, firstly?" He said almost bowling.

"Sup, sup time to focus" Said Mars.
