Layla had taken Lia to the Healers to check on Lia's arm, as she had injured it*. Leo and Layla were asked to wait outside the room by the Healer. Leo decides to sit on a bench near the door to wait, while Layla takes a brisk walk outside in the crisp breeze. After Lia's operation, it's reavealed that she won't be able to use any weapons for 3 months. A group of men in black masks came into the room and they knock out the Healer... so now no one can hear Lia she screaming for life while she is being dragged out**. Eventually Layla comes back and when the is no response to the knock, they decide to just barge in. 

*Re-read chapter 16 if you need a reminder of how she got the injury in her forearm.

**Lia was also drugged, which made her fall unconsious on her way out the window.

"You're right! Let's bring him to another Healer now!" Leo replies, sounding a bit shook. He lifts the Healer's legs up as Layla gently takes his head. The two then carry him to another healer. 

"Here, he looks badly injured. We dont know how- bye!" Layla tells the Healer, placing the wounded Healer down on the bed, before leaving. 

"Where could she be?!" Leo asks, confused about where Lia could be.  

"I hace no idea, but we should head back to the room maybe we'll find somthing there." Layla suggests after they had been walking around for awhile.

Layla turns the doorknob and the door to where Lia was treated slowly creaks open. 

Leo walks in after Layla. "Huh, what?!" Leo yelps in surprise as Layla scoops up a sword and swings it around a couple times in the air. 

Layla gasps her eyes wide. "Look!" She whispers.

Leo responds saying: "It loooks like a sword to me... anything else?" He scratches his short hair in confusion of what Layla is trying to say.

"Urg, go don't get it this sword is the type only those outrages stupid dark elves would!" Layla screeched. 

"My god, be quiet." Leo tells her. 

"Whatever we need to get to the dark evles territory and fast!" Layla says urgently. 

They head outside as Layla remembers: "We should find black clothes and cover ourselves then we won't be as suspicious ." They don't make any noise upon coming back after changing. They sneck back out. 

"Do you have a plan?" Layla asks hoping that he would. 

"Umm, no. I don't even know what a dark elf is? I thought that elves were just fairytales..." He replies finally processing the information Layla had been telling him.
