Iris could see why the little girl refused to go before they saved her older brother, who was buried under the wreckage of a house. No one noticed this and the fact the spirit of her older brother was not among those people, who had died, indicated that he was still alive.
’My brother...’ the spirit of the little girl kept pointing at a ruined house. She sat on Iris’ lap with a sad face. ’My brother...’
"Is there something wrong, Luna?" Eron asked, he was worried to see Iris’ expression looking so troubled. He tried to glance inside the carriage, but he couldn’t find anything that could possibly make her upset.
"Can you call a few warriors?" Iris asked, she turned her head to Eron. "There is a little boy buried under those ruins. I think he is still alive."
Eron blinked his eyes in confusion. She had been sitting there and the Alpha didn’t even allow her to step outside, but how could she know about it?
"How do you know about that?" Eron couldn’t help, but ask.
However, Iris was not in the right headspace to explain this thing to him, more so, she was afraid if they were tardy any longer, they might not be able to save the young boy anymore.
"Can you just do it, please? I am afraid the little boy is injured badly."
"Oh, okay! Right away, Luna!" Eron immediately rushed to find three warriors to help him to dig the ruins.
Zephyr, Kian, Asher and Eron tried to find the little boy, but they couldn’t. This house was in a very poor condition and if they were going to dig all the debris, it would take them a whole day.
"Are you sure? How did she know about it?" Asher asked in frustration. They had been digging for more than an hour at this point, but there were still more spots to cover and it would be a pain in the ass to do this job with only the four of them. "I don’t understand why we are doing this when there are a lot more important things to do now," Asher couldn’t stop complaining.
"Maybe she saw the little boy during the fight when the house collapsed," Kian tried to guess. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
"Yeah, but it doesn’t explain how she knew the boy is still alive," Asher grumbled.
They were thinking out loud because they stood out of Iris’ earshot, thinking she couldn’t hear their conversation, but unfortunately, they forgot their luna was excellent at reading lips and they were facing her right now.
"Show me where your brother is, okay?" Iris spoke to the little girl’s spirit, who looked conflicted. She did not seem too sure where exactly her brother’s body was. She only remembered the house had collapsed and her older brother tried to protect her, by shielding her with his own body, which was proven not to work at all. "Come here."
Iris beckoned the spirit to come with her, while she went out of the carriage. She couldn’t really touch the spirit, but they felt like a gush of cold wind.
At the same time, Cane watched darkly when one of his warriors breathed his last. The warrior was injured so badly, neither his healing ability nor Grace’s healing power could help him. Cane held the warrior’s hand, while he kept talking about going home to his family.
