Chapter 392 Befriended this band of dreamers
Then a gigantic fireball formed right in front of her beak and like the last time instead of exploding in contact with the pieces of meat she had just made, the fireball turned into lots of little flames that destroyed everything Willow couldn’t eat leaving only the raw meat.
Willow did the same for the other 3 bodies and after storing all this meat in her dads’ dimension, she joined Mykael and Colin who complimented her as her mastery of her elements was really improving at high speed.
……………..
In the Lan mansion, Caleb couldn’t sleep, he was looking at the ceiling wondering if he should warn Sora that there was a risk that her sister had been exchanged with a chameleon and that if it was the case, he couldn’t assure her that she was still alive.
、 Caleb had befriended this band of dreamers in spite of himself, at first it was only this trio of reckless, Liam and Xander were always together and created a lot of trouble and Dilan was in some ways there to protect them when they were too young to realize the danger they were putting themselves in.
Dilan was only 4 years older than them but having been raised in the Lan family, as soon as Xander became the new bearer of the Pentagram Mark, Dilan had become their bodyguard, but Caleb smiled as he thought that he was more of a nanny than a bodyguard most of the time.
He had watched them grow up and under Dilan’s wise advice, Xander had never become arrogant and he was a King who was close to his people.
His marriage with Sora had been arranged a long time ago because Sora was by far the most powerful mage in the human territory, besides he had always found it strange that it was Xander who inherited the Pentagram Mark and not Sora, but now that he understood this world better, it probably knew that Xander’s personality was more open than Sora’s and that he would be more useful to it in bringing the two races together.
And it was not wrong, Caleb had helped Dilan to protect them when he had to take care of his boys after the death of his wife, and fortunately his sister had helped him to pass this difficult moment for him.
And the love that his boys gave him had done the rest and ended up giving him back his smile, and thanks to this ordeal, when Dilan had learned that Xander wanted to create an alliance with the rebellion he had supported him, bringing him the military support he needed.
Dilan after all, like any parent, just wanted a world where his children didn’t have to fight and where they could grow up safely.
Caleb had formed strong bonds with Dilan, Xander and Liam because these two were truly inseparable and he had also befriended Connor and Derek who he found extremely brave and who had real moral and family values… He had even envied the love that these two had for each other… That is, until that tragic night happened.
At that time all he could determine was that Xander and Connor had been poisoned but he hadn’t been able to identify the poison which had led him to think that these two Goddesses were behind it all.
But unfortunately without proof and not knowing what these two were really looking for, he had not been able to warn his General because apart from the fact that they were accomplices and that their men seemed to be looking for something, he had never been able to discover what.
After that tragic night, he had seen Derek fall apart and the rebellion had withdrawn to regain its balance after the death of their leader and Derek’s inability to continue what Connor had started.
As for the humans, after the assassination of their King, his older brother had taken power and imprisoned their Queen.
When he had tried to rescue Sora, she had refused, telling him that this bastard was holding her little sister hostage and that she was all she had left.
She had explained to him that having to abandon her own son had already broken her heart, and even if she had never truly loved Xander, she respected him and admired his ideals, and if she hadn’t been forced to abandon her son, she had told him that she would probably have fallen in love with him in time.
And so she had been adamant when she told him that as long as her little sister was being held captive, there was no way she was going to put her in danger.
Caleb could understand this and so he had easily found where Sora’s sister, Lena, was being held captive but he had been shocked when he had realized that the part of that dungeon was protected by a force field so powerful that it could only have been created by a God, and even he didn’t have the power to destroy it.
The years that followed were very hard on everyone, there were no more bearers of the Pentagram Mark and Liam decided to follow his friend’s wishes and teach the new generation, while keeping a good relationship with Derek and Connor’s nephews.
Dilan, on the other hand, had kept the border and he had taught all his men to recognize the rebels among the demon king’s soldiers and told them that they should never kill these demons.
And while he stayed in the shadows trying to find out what these Goddesses wanted, he had always kept an eye on them and intervened whenever their lives were threatened.
He then heard Kelan calling him which brought him abruptly back to the present and the latter asked him surprised : “What are you thinking of ?”
Caleb kissed his forehead and he said to him : “Sora will be devastated if it’s not her sister in that dungeon… I already warned her about our plan but I didn’t tell her about the Chameleons… Kelan, do you think I should warn her so she can prepare herself just in case ?”
