Bab 1093: Demon Vs Muscles

"Your mother might have given you something to sleep through the turmoil, but she could not save you from the arrows raining down on her," said Haldor as he tried to wipe away the tears. "Although your mother did not know me, I was one of the orphans she raised in Xeloria. I ran to her side and tried to save her, but she asked me to save you instead."

"My mother… she died that night…" said Luna as she staggered back. "She was not killed by a demon… she was killed by…"

"A demon," answered the hunter with resolution. "Marshal Stormblade is a demon who would do anything to get what he wanted. I took you as a child and ran into the forest, but it was not long before the scouts came. As they were closing in on us, I reached this camp and hid here."

As Haldor was telling his story, the cries from the battlefield grew more intense. Elinor held Luna, gave her a nod, and then guided her away as Haldor resumed his story with a determined face.
