Sky. “Teiga and her brother turned around in surprise and saw Sky leaning against the broken door, bored. Teiga stared at the floor in annoyance. “I was also amazed that it was all so easy. Usually my plans never work! Kenji, you take her down the back door. “She pointed to the girl who had since fallen asleep in Kenji's arms. “What kind of back exit? "
"The one there," Teiga replied tersely and smacked the back wall with her claws. Shortly afterwards, however, the beams gave way and the whole tower began to shake and the ground broke away from under them. Kenji clung to his sister, who was also looking around for something to hold on to.She closed her eyes, just reached around and then found something soft and warm to hold on to. Unfortunately that something fell down with her.
Kenji started screaming. “Take it easy, that won't save you either! “It was only when Teiga said that that he realized that they were no longer falling. He looked up and saw his sister looking straight ahead with her eyes closed. Her T-shirt was caught on a protruding stone. "Teiga? You can look again now. “She opened her eyes and looked down. With one hand she was clutching the right hand of her brother, who was still holding the girl in the other. In the other hand she held ... "What are you doing ?! “Sky stared angrily at her. With her eyes closed, she had simply clung to whatever was closest to her, and that was the demon Sky. "Do you want me to drop you? “Sky looked down into the deep hole, which must have been over forty meters deep, shook his head quickly and was still.Even a demon would not survive such a fall. "So ... how are you going now? Anyone have any suggestion how we can get out of here? “The others didn't answer. Teiga began to whistle softly. So she didn't have to hear the fabric of her T-shirt slowly starting to tear. Now they had to think of something quickly or they would tumble down. “Here, climb it! “, Called a voice from above and a rope ladder was thrown down. Kenji was the first to climb, followed by Sky and Teiga. However, they were anything but enthusiastic about their rescuers. Some demons stood up smiling at them and drew their swords. “We actually wanted to let you down there, but killing you like that is much funnier! “Teiga also drew her sword and attacked the demons. Her brother Kenji kept his distance from the fight because he didn't want to endanger the girl they had saved.Sky watched the fight sideways. When Teiga killed four of them and wounded the rest of them so badly that they could no longer move, she gave her friends (does that also mean Sky ?!) that they should follow her.
"Teiga, what should we do with that one now? Do you want to take him with you? "Asked Kenji and nodded in Sky's direction. He pretended not to listen. “Well, I guess we have to take him. If we kill him, the demons smell the blood and find us immediately and even I cannot do anything against the entire army of demons. A few are not a problem, all of them will be problematic. If we send him back, he'll tell Lenya all about our plans and then we'll be just as finished. “Kenji still didn't let himself be dissuaded from his plan. “Yes, but if we take him with us he'll stab us in the back with a knife. "Teiga smiled into his face and said," Maybe, but even if he did, he can only kill one of us like that.If you then avenge me and kill him, at least one of us is still alive who can finish the mission. And maybe he doesn't want to kill us at all, under certain circumstances he wants to join our troop. Do you want to, don't you? “Teiga turned to Sky, who immediately looked at the ground and remained silent. Funny that guy. If I stutter around all the time and do nothing, one of them chats, but when I start talking, he can't get his teeth apart anymore. Maybe he's just shy? Well, for now he'll have to come with me until we can think of something better. But first, let's think about how to explain to people that only one child survived. Teiga looked into her sleeping face. Actually, she is no longer a child. She's at least fourteen or fifteen. I fought demons when I was her age, but the fight is nothing for her, she is too thin and looks very fragile.I can't make a warrior out of her. "Why are you staring at her like that? “, Kenji asked angrily. He surely suspected what Teiga had just thought. After all, she had done the same thing to him. He didn't really care whose side he fought on, after all, the demons had good reasons for their fight against the humans. Usually demons are loners who do not form armies, but alone the demons are easy to defeat by humans and slowly but surely they became less and less. Lenya, his and Teiga's mother, was also frequently attacked by people and most of the time only narrowly escaped. Therefore, she wanted revenge and decided to usurp power and unite the demons into an army. Teiga, who always had a rebellious streak and never had a good relationship with her mother, because she did not want to tell her anything about her father, a person, turned against her and helped the people in battle.She had recently asked Kenji and he, who didn't really care, helped her because no one else passed her. At first he didn't have to fight either, but since he'd saved Teiga's life in battle, he'd had to fight her all the time. She had made a warrior, no, a murderer out of him and he didn't want her to do the same to this girl.
They went on in silence. After about two hours, Teiga said annoyed: “Somehow I have the feeling that the way to the village was shorter last time, wasn't it? "Only now did Kenji notice it:" Yes. It must be here somewhere ... “After they had searched the area for a while, the girl, whom Kenji was still dragging around with her, finally woke up. "Where am I? She asked confused and looked around. Teiga immediately ran to her: “Hey, you finally woke up! We saved you from the demons and carried you out of Kathuun. We are now on the way to the village to which the people from Kathuun fled.That's where you come from, right? Oh, by the way, that's Sky and Kenji. I am Teiga. “She held out her hand to the girl. But that was still so sleepy that it only caught half of Teiga`s lecture, but took her hand and mumbled softly: "My name is Yuna ... How could the three of you sneak into the demon fortress? "Teiga smiled and replied," Oh you know, we are half demons, me and Kenji. We have been fighting the demons for a long time. Sky is a full-fledged demon, but he's only recently joined our group and, if you ask me, kind of strange. Well, we're definitely on your side! "
Yuna stared at her for a while and when she noticed that she was still being carried by Kenji, she quickly jumped up and kept apologizing to him. When he had told her for the seventh time that it was all right, Teiga was starting to get restless. “There must be this cursed village somewhere.Maybe we've already passed. What do you mean, sky? “Sky remained silent and just stared past her towards the mountains. Teiga looked in the same direction, hoping that the village might be there, but could only see snow-capped mountains on the horizon. Man, if only this guy would at least say that he has no idea! “I think it's over there. “, Sky said suddenly, pointing to a small red dot in the distance. "I don't even remember the huts being painted red ..." Kenji muttered to his sister. "Neither do I. Better stay here with Yuna, I'll see this with Sky. You will only come after I give you a sign, otherwise we will just move on. It looks like the demons have been there before us and I don't think Yuna should watch that. Come on Sky, let's see this up close! “Teiga started to run and Sky followed her as fast as he could, but soon Teiga had to slow down because Sky couldn't keep up.After a few minutes they realized that the village was on fire. Teiga stopped and looked for survivors, but this time she found no one. "Well. the demons are probably faster than we were ... "
“No, it wasn't the demons. We haven't planned an attack on this village as far as I know, and there's no demon smell here either. They were those idiotic people. They are too stupid to see that they should ally and instead fight each other. “Now that Sky finally started talking, Teiga wanted to take the opportunity to find out more about him. “Why do you hate people so much? I mean, most of them are okay, even your leader Lenya knows that, after all, she got involved with one of them once. “As soon as Teiga turned the conversation back on the people, Sky stared straight ahead with hateful eyes. “People killed my parents and I will never forgive them for that.That's why I volunteered for Lenya's army, although at eighteen I'm actually a little too young for that. the others are at least twenty-five. Oh, by the way, you have to go north now. The demons are planning an attack on the people there. I suppose you want to help them? “Now Teiga was confused. If he hated people so why did he help them save them? It was sure to be a trap. “And how do I know that I can trust you? You tried to kill me recently. "
“Right, but you saved my life. It wasn't on purpose, but it was still. I take such debts seriously, so I'll be with you for a while. It doesn't really matter, the three of us can't do anything about the demons anyway. You will destroy the people in the end. "
Teiga quickly changed the subject: “I think we should go back to the Yuna and Kenji. I'm sure they are worried. "When the two of them got back on the hill where the others were waiting, Yuna was already running towards them: “So, what's going on? Can I see my father “Teiga told her that they were wrong and that this village was long deserted. However, when Kenji later approached her, she told him the truth and that she was going north next. But first Kenji wanted to look for a good place to rest, as they had been on the road for so long. Teiga then
