Capítulo 68: Wish
The members of the party planned to leave the village as soon as possible but due to some circumstances, it was not possible. They have no choice other than to stay in the village. But the villagers were not present there. Aveda send the message torch once their mission was over. Unexpectedly the officials and the recruits and assistance team just arrived very quickly escorting the people for treatment. The people from the village were escorted to somewhere else other than their village, the Lassi village. So when the hunters stayed in the outer area of the village there were no people to hinder them. So they felt less stressed and just stayed there for two or three days.
Aveda, the leader of the ghost party looked at her people. She was sitting near the resting Wei Li. His injuries are healed but he needed rest so she asked him to rest and Aveda was personally guarding him. She was sitting beside him and looking at him. She wanted to caress his head but something in her mind didn't let her do that. She smiled at him with a long breath. Her smile showed the signs of her having some satisfaction for him. She took a deep breath and looked at the others.
Darius was sitting nearby the rock on the ground. He was sitting on the ground and supporting himself with the rock. His huge body size didn't blend into the rock. One of his legs was bent on his knees and was raised for his balance while lying. His other leg was resting, lying parallel to the ground. He was leaning on the rock with his hands supporting his head by staying behind it. He was staring at the sky for some reason. When he came to the party he was not very old. He was someone who Aveda would trust even before creating the party till the present. She knew him from her childhood and he always protected her. She looked at him with a warm smile and analyzed him for a while. Her smile was a genuine rather than a polite one.
She then looked for the couple at her party. She turned her head to the left and looked at them from a distance. June was giggling and the mysterious ghost was staying still with a smile. She couldn't hear what they speak but she envied them, she always supported them. When Harry wanted to let her come with him she refused because he don't want her to die. She knew Harry very well but for June she could not assure her safety so she refused. But June persuaded her to join her with them and now they were very close. Close as they were real friends. She envied it because not all adventurers can have a likable family life. So many choose not to marry. Also many won't have the chance to marry because not many people will marry a hunter whose life stays within the life or death situation. Even if someone is married their spouse will be complaining all about how their significant other was not treating them with care and always spending time on missions in forests and dungeons. What they never know is what the hunters face. Their spouse would easily get pissed off and file for a divorce or abandon them and go with someone else making them live disheartened or lifeless.
The life of Harry Lockwood and June Frey was not something similar to the above. June was the variable of her story. Instead of waiting for her husband to come she came to him and let him take her hands. She also never stopped him from his missions. She might be playful but she will be very serious when it comes to a mission. She joined herself with the party and loved to adventure. When she joined the party she was very curious and feard. Whenever Harry was being the bait or he leads the mission her gaze would never shift from him. She would be scared when seeing a certain level of beasts. That's when her hands and body would start to tremble but Aveda protected her at those times when Harry was not present or had a longer distance due to circumstances. Thus they became friends. Once she discovers that her party members were trustable she never dares to doubt them. She eventually started to care for the other members of her party. She was a warlock and turned into one of the members of the party.
As for Harry, it is not easy to see through him. He was a calm and composed man who never express himself. As his name suggests he was indeed mysterious. When Aveda looked at the couple melting on each other she giggled at them and covered her mouth with her hands. Eventually, she would look at Wei Li once in a while.
She then retreated her gaze and looked at the ground. She analyzed the situation and the things they do. She recalled her memories with them. The bickering she had with June. The ignorance she felt from Harry. The protection she got from Wei Li. The loyalty Darius gave her. That was the team coordination when they joined their party. But eventually, June's bickering turned to be sister fights. Harry started to respect her after doing some missions with her. The bad memories and the best one, she left no one. She recalled everything and when a certain memory flashed onto her mind her face went pale and dim.
"Loren Frey. I am sorry I couldn't protect you. But don't worry the same won't happen to the others. I will never let anyone touch them." she muttered when she clenched her fist. Wrinkles appeared on her forehead between her eyebrows vertically. Her eyes became bloody and her anger raised high to the point of her face turning red. The clenched fists started to bleed. She recalled the moment with the fellow junior they had in their team. The respect he gave to everyone. Her eyes filled with tears of grief. Her breath became heavy. She didn't want to let any one of the others in her party face the same.
She remembered each and every word of him when he was on his death bed. The words were "I am injured by one of them". He then looked at Harry and smiled. Harry realizing something gave a piece of cloth for him to write his last words for his sister. But before even writing a few words he left the world.
It happened when they were doing an important mission. The mission wanted them to get split and finish a pack of assassin-type beasts. It was a pack of 'traceless hyenas'. As for the mission, they had two tasks. One is to protect the villagers and the other was to kill the leader. The leader was given to the hands of Harry and Loaren. The other task was done by the others. They made one hundred percent sure that Loaren and Harry would return alive but the fate was cruel on that day. Loaren died in the battle. When he saw a beast pouncing on Harry he jumped in between. Harry not realizing Loaren was standing behind him slashed with his sword at the beast coming from the rear. It resulted in Loaren getting slashed and he died due to blood loss.
From that day on Harry never acted normal. His calm behavior changed into a mysterious one. No one could understand him. No one could see him express himself anymore. The loss of Loaren left a huge impact on him. From that day on he never drew his sword without any conformation of threat. He became a very reserved person. Only after June joins the party the others can see him smile. After a minute of recalling everything, the leader of the ghost party crossed her fingers as her hands came near her chin and closed her eyes. she mumbled something. Suddenly a husky yet quiet voice was heard. "Are you making a wish?"
