บท 79: Fourth Gate: Land of Terra (Part 2)

"My dear," the old lady whispered, "I'd love to talk more with you, but I need to go back to my grandchild. He must be starving by now".

Elliot gently smiled towards the old lady, "Of course. Would it be alright if we accompany you? We can help you carry your things, too".

The old lady smiled back. "Ahh … I've been blessed to meet such kind people. Just like my little grandson".

And so, they went to accompany the old lady back to her home. Elliot carried the old lady on his back since she was having troubles walking. The old lady was touched and she kept on thanking them along the way while she pointed out the direction to their house. Being unable to use magic, they had to walk a long way to reach it. Too long actually, that it was already late in the afternoon when they arrived. Elliot and Rania began wondering how in the world did this old lady managed to walk that far of a distance all by herself. Their hearts sank at the very thought of it.
