Logan finally reached Rubina, who was humming a sweet tune while petting Zephyr, who was enjoying the touch.
As soon as Luna spotted him, she ran happily to welco Logan and pranced around his legs.
"Good to see everyone safe, we might need a little help here," Logan told Rubina, while pointing at Saber, who seed tired.
Rubina rushed to place Kryst to start healing his ntor, who was still out cold, and asked why she was in that state.
Logan hesitated, wondering if he should co clean or keep the secret, but decided to trust Rubina, who had helped him since the start.
"About that… we t vampires in the cave… turns out they were in a feral state… There were three. We managed to kill two, but the third one, I tried taming her. As for Valeria, she saved from a certain spell but was hit hard. Also… she is a demon," Logan said as he got closer to his ntor to use healing magic.
She had reverted to her human form soti during the trip back.
"That is a lot to take in…" Rubina said as her eyes widened. She pointed to Valeria, signaling if Logan was talking about her, the ntor who had helped him for the past few weeks.
Logan nodded and then pointed to his shoulder, where a small lump was breathing in and out.
"I see, and that is…?" Rubina asked, not knowing what Logan ant.
"The vampire who survived," Logan answered.
"That little thing? So it's true they can shape-shift?" Rubina covered her mouth as she stood in bewildernt.
"Yes, now… I need to rest for a while. if Valeria does not get up within half an hour, I will bring Scorch to help us take her back." Logan sighed as he lay next to the fla and tried to rest, sitting with his back leaned against Zephyr.
"Yeah, take a quick nap. I will watch over the place," Rubina said as she paced around a little.
It wasn't even ten minutes before Logan was shaken and called by Rubina, who had seen Valeria move a little.
"I think your teacher is going to wake up soon," Rubina whispered.
"Oh, alright..." Logan wiped his eye as he stood up slowly to check on his ntor.
He saw she had her eyes open, trying not to move her shoulder.
"Are you awake, ntor?" Logan asked as he got closer.
"Did you see?" Valeria asked, trying to understand what she needed to do next.
"Your demon form? Yes, I saw it," Logan answered, while trying to act like it did not matter. Experience exclusive tales on My Virtual Library Empire
"You aren't scared? Worried?" She turned to face him.
"Not really… I have t another before you… I just hope we are on the sa side," Logan replied cautiously, wondering what she would say next.
"Have I ever acted otherwise?" she smiled as she tried getting up.
"Not yet," Logan said as he got closer, casting Cure to act like a painkiller while her arm needed more ti to heal.
"Good, let's just act like nothing happened then. I will just say this: I am not one of those pale garbage trying to kill off every being this world holds," Valeria sneered as she tried to ignore the pain from moving so much.
"Alright, that is good… now do you feel capable enough to leave this place, or should I bring Scorch?" Logan asked.
"I'm fine, let's get out of here. Tell what happened as we go back," Valeria said as she got up. She then walked to the bag she had left behind and took out a bottle to drink, making a face of disgust.
"Tonic, it's the best healing agent for these kinds of wounds. Good thing I had one left," Valeria said as Logan saw how the bones popped into place correctly this ti.
"You need more training if you're going to heal soone with your magic. You could have kept crippled for life," Valeria smiled as her wound began to heal just enough for her to move her hand.
"I think we are ready, just store your equipnt, Miss Valeria," Rubina stated as she finished cleaning the fireplace.
"Sounds good, let's go then." Valeria waited for the two kids to finish packing before moving and followed behind.
As they carefully went down the mountain, he heard his ntor scream.
"You did what?!" she repeated as Logan pointed to his shoulder.
"I tad it…" Logan said again in a softer tone.
"Do you know what will happen if people see her?" Valeria said as she placed a hand over her forehead in frustration.
"I don't care… she is tad now. If soone has a problem, it will have to be against , and I will make sure I beco strong enough to answer," Logan replied with determination, thinking about all his tad companions and how he would respond if one of them got hurt.
"Well, I can't say anything if you display that much resolution. Just try to keep her in a form that wouldn't attract attention until you beco that strong," Valeria warned as she thought about the future consequences.
Rubina, who thought she was the only demon in Logan's life, was having her own internal struggle after the many revelations.
She kept to herself, thinking about how she should interact with both Valeria and Logan's new tad companion, whom she had yet to et.
Thankfully, the storm had passed, and they could walk normally outside.
The suns showed it was sowhere between four and five in the afternoon, aning that they now had to rush back as the winter's short day was about to end.
Reaching Scorch, they set out to go back to his estate.
Logan used his communicator to inform Chloe about their position so she would not worry.
"It was a good day at least. We might not have found much to fight today, besides, you know… but we are fine at least," Logan tried to cheer up the tired group.
"I hope we don't find ourselves in another storm…" Rubina replied.
"We won't co to this part again. We will keep training within the first mountain area. I think we need to work more on teamwork within our current force before we try going further again," Valeria added as she moved her arm to check on its recovery.
"Sounds good. I wonder how my new tas will do," Logan said thinking about the vampire while looking towards the horizon, which was slowly becoming pink with various colors.
Even with the cold around him, he was happy to be where he was, slowly accumulating strength with people he trusted.
