The parents were devastated. No matter what had their daughter done, she was still their daughter. Now she was going to be taken away and it was a place not even most hideous criminals would survive. They had finally realised, all the excess love they were giving to their daughter was nothing but a poison to her. Her own parents had brought death onto her.
The daughter looked at her parents. Her mother always had confidence in her eyes, but now she could only see sadness and frustration. Was she really going to be taken away by monsters, she was likely going to die the moment they entered the forest. Her perfect world was crumbling right in front of her eyes and there was nothing she could do about it.
Moon looked at the drama unfolding before his eyes. Moon could also sense the brother hiding behind the door shaking. If anybody else saw this dramatic moment, Moon would be the villain who was breaking a family apart.
A wind fluttered into the room and right after, Vall was next to Moon. Val slightly bowed down to Moon before saying " Sir as a father who had a difficult daughter mysef. I was hopeless and her future was bleak but fortunately, she learned to grow up. If my hopeless daughter turned out better, maybe this young lady can do the same"
The parents who were barely able to think, jumped from their deep negative thoughts into their last strand of hope. The room that was filled with sad emotion brightened up once more. Raiz saw the changes and a smile slipped through but thankfully nobody had noticed as he concealed.
This was their plan from the beginning. No matter how powerful they were now, they were still at the beginners stage. If monsters kidnapped a human child, Raiz knew very well how humans would react, annihilation would be the next objective and that was something that had to be prevented at all costs.
This plan would make them realise their faults, make them desperate and maybe truly help them see what they couldn't see before. Finally giving them hope, when it was truly a desperate situation. Everything was folding to its place. Raiz was surprised at Valls's acting. If he didn't know any better, he would have believed Val had a daughter.
Val was more talented in scamming people than Moon and Raiz thought. Moon couldn't just immediately accept Val's suggestion. " I know about your"nonexistent" daughter and how she had matured but you should know, that was a miracle by itself" Moon spoke loud enough to be heard.
" Indeed as they say, lighting doesn't strike the same spot twice but it isn't completely hopeless for a human child to change their ways" Hearing this, the parents and the daughter nodded their heads ferociously, This might be their last chance to convince the cloud.
The daughter couldn't take it anymore as she flopped to the ground and cried out. She had never experienced any hardship but today her life was threatened for hours. Her mental capacity was derained to its limit.
The calm and collected Val immediately pushed for his agenda. As an experienced veteran, he knew the utmost importance of timing. He ran close to the family, almost as if he was part of their family, then looked at the cloud and started to push a tear as he begged for her life to be spared.
Bravo!
All Moon could do was clap in his mind, he had seen many movies but this was the first time someone truly moved him. He would have been a phenomenal actor if this was on earth. Moon wasn't the only one stunned by this performance as the one who came up with the plan in the first place, didn't think Val was going to perform this well.

"Since our dear friend here is bleeding for your life, I will give you one more option. I will give you another option, I will put a spell on you. This will kill you the moment you torment an innocent life" Moon was lying, he didn't have any clue whether such a spell even existed in the first place.
Finally, there was hope for Beina as she yelled.
" I WILL DO IT, please let me do it"
Seeing the frantic girl, Raiz knew it was time to put her out of her misery. There was no need to torture her any more than this, otherwise, she might have mental problems in the future.
Moon put the death spell which was just his cloud hand extending to her, but they didn't need to know that. As long as he didn't say from his mouth, they would believe that the spell was put on.
Finally having their business done with this city, it was time to leave this place. Humans were creatures driven by a curiosity, they would be seen in the future. The commander of Tartiib looked at the flying monsters, they were finally leaving and she was rejoicing the fact.
She was glad this ended without anybody being hurt. There was one that was unavoidable. Commander was surprised she was still alive, the monster had forgiven? She laughed to herself as she said how can a monster, be more humane than humans.
Back at the Cluster
Moon was only for a while in Tartiiib but he was tired of it. It was time to go back to the forest and the little orb was agreeing as it teleported back. There was no turmoil or any shaking in their teleport. From the citizen's eyes, the scene of the sky changed and that was it.
Moon was curious how the black orb even knew how to teleport, not to mention how it knew exactly, where the troublesome girl was at. As a curious cloud, Moon was excited to see what answer he would hear. Moon looked for the black orb but it was nowhere to be found.
The black orb returned to the sky and shut itself. It had overused its energy by teleporting and it needed time to function again. Moon decided it was time to get some sleep. He didn't need sleep but he wanted to sleep this time. Moon wasn't the only one who wanted to take a rest, everybody had been on high alert. In everybody's eyes, Moon was something that was unbeatable but today, seeing his weak side had caused panic amongst their heart.
Clauster had returned to the outer area of the forest. The children that were energetic, slept with their family. That day, the whole clan slept simultaneously from humans to bees, to wolves and finally to the cloud. Without worrying about the problems outside, each member of the clan member slept well.
Unknown to anyone, a purple aura swept out from Moon, heading towards everybody, including the black orb. The purplish aura entered everybody's body, the moment the body came in contact with the purple aura, it started glowing just for a second before everything returned to normal.
One purple aura was heading outside the Claustar. Somewhere far, underground. In the dungeons there was a teenager, his hands were cuffed onto the walls. Unknown to anybody, a purple light had entered the walls from behind, before entering the teenager's body. This was Zion, who had been taken away.
Zion who saw this process happen, his body started to glow right in front of his eyes. Even Zion couldn't help but panic a second. The glow didn't last long and after a few minutes, Zion was sighted as if nothing big happened. He was currently cuffed, no matter what happened. At most, he could stare back.
It was pitch dark in the dungeons but Zion could pick steps coming over from the stairs. He could hear two men talking on their way down, unfortunately, they were too far away to hear clear of their conversation. Zion still listened carefully, to grasp any part of their conversation.
" Why are we reserving a whole dungeon just for one guy? He isn't that dangerous, I heard he gave up without even struggling"
The man calmly looked at his son and said " Son, it's not that, he couldn't struggle but he needed to give himself up so that his family could escape. He is one of the strongest youngsters in ages"
The boy felt that his father was giving too much credit to a coward. A Coward who couldn't resist and decided to save himself. There were always sly ones, hiding and deceiving elders. It was time for his son to show these deceitful acts.
Stepping out of the stairs, the torch stuck on the side walls lit up. 18 torches were on fire. Zion looked at the visitors. One man and a boy, the man was around his father Val's age. The boy seemed to be around 14 years old.
"Hello there, welcome to my humble abode" Zion was calm for someone who was cuffed.
