The old lady continued running even though she had ran out of air. Carrying a basket full of five babies made it more difficult for her to outrun the monsters that were been chasing her for a long time.

One monster finally knocked her down. However, she caused roots to sprout from the ground, trapping the monster.

She hurriedly got up, grabbed the basket and continued running, bending the huge trees to block the way of the monsters. However, it barely stopped them. A few thin branches weren't enough to stop the most deadly creations of Grenetas.

A monster finally managed to leap and sink its fangs in the left shoulder of the lady causing her to scream in pain. Before she could do anything, the monster scratched her cheeks with its sharp claws.

The lady finally managed to hit the monster by bringing down a branch of a tree at it and then continued further.

Finally, she reached her destination — a cave in the middle of the jungle surrounded by trees. As soon as she reached the cave, she toppled down trees to block the entrance to it.

Once inside, she lit up a fire and placed the basket full of babies on the floor. She then started meditating.

The monsters kept on pounding at the trunks of trees, trying to enter the cave but she still managed to concentrate for half an hour before her eyes finally opened.

"I know a place for you." She looked down at the babies.

She then concentrated even more and finally a portal opened. She placed the basket on the other side of the portal. 

"You will be safe here until the time finally comes." The lady said to the babies before closing the portal. 

As soon as she closed it, a green explosion blasted away the trees from the entrance of the cave and a pretty lady walked inside the tunnel. Despite her dark green tattered dress and messy hairs, she still looked charming. Her hands were growing green from the explosion she had just caused. 

"Where are they?" The pretty lady's voice boomed across the entire cave.

"I won't tell you, Grenetas." The old lady managed to sound brave. 

"If you don't tell me, I won't hesitate to kill you." Grenetas warned.

"Do whatever you want to with me but I won't tell you where they had gone." The old lady said. 

"Fine then." Green energy bolted from the hands of Grenetas making the old lady unable to move. 

"What are you planning to do with me?" The old lady demanded. "Kill me?" 

"Not yet." Grenetas replied. "You will be tortured in my dungeons for eternity."

Grenetas concentrated more and the old lady started fading away. 

"They will stop you." The old lady said before disappearing completely.
