A week later the army arrives back at the stronghold and everyone living in it was dumbstruck. The army was supposed to defeat a fortified camp of the enemies that would take days if not weeks to do so and it was not even sure if they would be able to defeat them at all. And now after the time to travel between the 2 locations passed they came back instantly in a good mood without a single loss.
Nobody even had an idea other than the reports being false at this time. So the captain was instantly called to the strongholds leader to explain. People seeing them walk were able to get a glance of 2 other unknown people in their company. A male and a female soldier that seem to be a pair and are somehow surrounded by a slight blue glow.
Finally after being asked by the leader they began to tell their story. Although in this retelling it was some kind of mythical being that destroyed the camp and left them alone and not Kyle. Although this story is unbelievable the leader has to accept it at this point in time because there is just nothing else that couldve destroyed the camp like this. One of the theories is that the Rapiders kingdom angered a hughly dangerous being and this one killed the whole camp.
But there are many arguments against this theory because it was the only camp affected so far but for the times being the other camps start to pull back slowly. It seems that they do not want to take the risk of total annihilation of a camp again as long as the cause is unknown.
The 2 survivors were returned to their former ranks in the scout troup of those veterans because the leader thought they were captured while on duty and then somehow survived so they did nothing to deserve better but also nothing to deserve worse. The veterans had to make their next scout trip one week later so during that time they had some free time.
Kyle and Alice went to one of the cheapest inns and got one room for this whole week. Partly because they wanted to be together and partly because they did not have more money for 2 rooms. During this week they told each other about hteir childhoods and Alice got to know why exactly Kyle was as detatched and distant to everybody. And she got the promise out of him to make his foster parents proud and introduce her to them. Although Kyle doesnt want to acknoledge it Alice thinks he has some deep feelings for his new family and she wants him to discover these now that his cold facade was partly broken.
Stolen novel; please report.
The strong blue glow surrounding them became less obvious with time as Kyle learned to control his talent better. But he still left a slight glow around them because for him it indicates the beginning of their time together and cant bring himself to stop this connection although they connected in various other ways every night.
After the third night in this free week Kyle discovered some other use of his magic. They started their now daily routine of undressing in their room and started to feel each others bodies as the idea hit him. He drew back his usual aura a bit and then poured his feelings of love and lust in a strong short ranged aura that just hit him and Alice. She was looking at him a bit confused after drawing back his aura and then the new one hit her and she was instantly on top of him on the bed and already starting to mate.
That was the most intensive night they ever had and they nearly did not sleep at all.
This week of peace was a blessing they needed but during the day of it they would always train their abilities and spar with each other. But this peace only lasts for this week. After it they have to walk out with their scout troop again. So this was a week to relax and prepare for the war. Because this time the 2 of them will definitely be prepared not like the last time. They learned their lesson.
