Chapter 1109 1109. Returning To Pilenus Village
Pandora's flying speed was even faster than her running speed before she got her wings. Not only that, she zapped in intervals during her flight. Repeated use of this zapping caused Jack vertigo after a while. Jack understood then that Pandora was actually teleporting when the zap happened, further increasing her speed.
Unbeknownst to Jack, this repeated teleportation was what allowed Pandora to cover her tracks. Her aura was too strong and she wasn't able to control it from exuding from her body since she had just been upgraded. A powerful devil like Mammon could trace this aura of hers. But due to her constant teleporting, the trace was cut off.
Jack also worried that Mammon saw them when he saw the green fog. He directed Pandora to fly in a different direction from Pilenus Village. They made turns as they traveled, taking a detour. Even so, they still arrived before Tenka and Yrin who used the Hang gliders. This proved Pandora's speed had increased after the upgrade.
Yvok greeted them once they arrived. He was pleasantly surprised by Pandora's transformation, but his emotion took a great fall after Jack informed him of what had happened.
Yvok let out a long sigh after Jack finished his report.
"I guess it can't be helped. At least we got Luna's essence. With that, the little ones can grow into adulthood," Yvok said as he gazed at the power orb floating beside Pandora.
"There are bigger things to worry about," Jack said. "All of you have to leave. You can't stay here anymore. The two high demon bodyguards will surely report about seeing Tenka and Yrin after they meet Mammon. We don't know when the demons will come. You need to be out of here before that happens."
"We will talk about that after we tend to the little ones. Come," Yvok said, walking to the woods where they hid the small nightmares.
Jack wanted to urge Yvok to not delay their departure, but the old satyr didn't seem to be in the mood to discuss. So, Jack just followed him into the burning forest.
Yvok blew his pipe and they entered the secret dimension where the two little nightmares resided. Pandora went to them with the power orb.
Sol and Fira were excited when they saw their aunt again, but they stopped when they noticed the power orb floating beside her. They could feel their mother's aura from that orb. Pandora then told them what had happened.
Jack didn't understand the nightmare's language, but he could see from the three gestures that it was an emotional discourse. Yvok, who stood beside him, sighed and shook his head on repeated occasions.
The power orb floated above the two nightmares and started emitting energies that nurtured Sol and Fira. It was like the orb was alive and knew when Luna's two offspring were nearby.
Not long after, Tenka and Yrin came into this dimension. They had another round of emotional discourse.
Jack didn't want to disturb them, but he truly thought that they should start packing. So, he said again to Yvok, "You truly need to tell your people to start packing."
Yvok gave another long sigh before calling Tenka and Yrin.
"We will need to leave," He said to the two.
Tenka and Yrin gave apologetic expressions. They knew it was due to their impulses that their village was now in danger.
Yvok continued, "But, the two little nightmares won't survive if we keep on moving. So, we are going to do it like this. We will find a different hiding spot and create another secret dimension to hide the little nightmares there. You two will be staying with them. As for the rest of us, we will move to a different place and then wait for the demons to come."
"What do you mean? You should keep on moving. If you stay in one place and the demons find you, they will kill you all," Jack said.
"Then so it shall be," Yvok said.
"Father…!" Yrin called, but Yvok stopped her by lifting his hand at her.
Yvok said, "The two of you are these little ones' main custodians, so you have to stay with them. As for the rest of us. It's fine. You don't need to worry about anything. As long as we ensure the two little nightmares survived, everything is worth it."
"You don't mean… Are you going to intentionally let the demons find you and sacrifice your whole village?" Jack asked with disbelief.
Yvok sighed. "This is the only way. If we keep on running, Mammon will keep on searching. We can't constantly move the nightmares around. But if we leave them, Mammon's persistent search might stumble onto their hiding place. Mammon needs an outlet for his anger. We will give him that. Once he is done with us, he won't bother searching anymore. The little nightmares will be safe."
"Then we should be the sacrifices!" Tenka exclaimed. "Hraghshu's bodyguards saw us. Yrin and I are their main targets. We will let them get us. You and the villagers keep these nightmares safe."
? "It is because of your impulse that we are in this mess. So, for once, listen to me!!" Yvok chided. "You two are Sol and Fira's main custodians. Their connection to you is not something that other satyrs can replicate. They needed you so the two of you will hide with them, and that will be it!"
Tenka and Yrin wanted to argue further but they could see their father's decision was made.
Jack understood that just as how Luna sacrificed herself for her children, Yvok was doing the same. He again cursed his powerlessness for not being able to do better for them.
"If only Pandora can bring pa.s.sengers back to the upworld…," Jack muttered.
When Jack was still lamenting, he found Pandora in front of her.
Peniel said to Jack, "She asked, what do you mean by bringing pa.s.sengers to the upworld?"
"Uh… I mean that if she can, perhaps we can bring these nightmares and satyrs one by one to the upworld. Mammon can't break through the planes between the worlds, right? That way, they will be safe."
Pandora turned to Peniel and spoke some nightmare languages.
Peniel then translated, "She said, she couldn't bring everyone to the upworld. But at this current moment, she could bring the two little nightmares and two satyrs for one trip."
