"Waaaaaa!!!"
Eva burst into tears, throwing herself into the arms of the Beastman Captain.
Her cries were filled with the grievances and resilience of the past two years.
"It's okay, it's okay, I've found you."
The Beastman Captain held her, gently stroking Eva's head.
His head rested against hers, his voice soft, comforting nonstop.
Unlike the brave and wild impression he just gave, as if they're two different people.
Adam also realized they were allies and sighed in relief, feeling sowhat exhausted.
His emotions felt like a roller coaster, a bit too overwhelming for soone his age.
He carefully observed these people.
There were five enormous mythical birds, each carrying a warrior.
Interestingly, the warriors were of different races, a rare sight indeed.
It was clear these people were strong. Although he only took a glance before preparing to escape last night, he heard the voice of one of the warriors.
Does this an the pirate ship was eliminated by these five? Despite bearing signs of battle, they didn't seem injured.
How powerful could they be?
Adam could hardly imagine.
Then, he couldn't help but marvel, so... soone really would co to rescue them.
Are these the people Eva always talked about?
Since coming aboard, Eva kept saying there would be a rescue, even though it took so long.
But unexpectedly, it truly happened.
"Sister Asira, why did you take so long to co?"
After crying, Eva beca dissatisfied.
She clutched the pendant worn around her neck, recalling it was said that wearing this pendant would lead to her discovery.
"Sorry, sorry."
Asira just held her, apologizing, unable to offer any plea for forgiveness or excuse for her incapacity.
Around two years ago, as a Night Watcher, she went back to her hotown to help with policies, to gather children infected by the blood curse.
Indeed, Beastn weren't nurous among the Night Watchers.
In terms of numbers, Elves even outnumber Beastn.
She had joined the Night Watchers of the Liberty City Alliance.
During this mission, she found Eva.
Most Beastn were both open-minded and exclusive.
Open-minded referred to the various races among Beastn uniting, leading to frequent exchanges in trade and culture.
In the big cities of Beastn, all kinds of Beastn lived together.
Exclusivity ant Beastn rarely intermarried, even when their racial differences weren't significant.
They highly recognized and valued their own bloodline, rarely intermarrying, and rarely giving birth to hybrids.
The offspring of two different Beastman races is called hybrids, even derogatorily—mixed bloods.
Interestingly, the current Beastman Chieftain is a mixed blood.
Thus, new Blood Race mbers among Beastn are the least. Why so? Because they're killed at birth, the parents giving birth to a Blood Race mber are seen as cursed and are expelled from the tribe.
Because of this, almost all Beastman Night Watchers were sent within Beastman territories, to spread Night Watcher ideals and policies, and to build good relations with local Chieftains and leaders.
This led to the absence of Blood Race Beastn, except those in reclusive Beastman families.
For this reason, Blood Race pirates were rampant around Beastman territories.
Although it might sound like sugarcoating, Blood Race pirates considered newborn Blood Race mbers as their kin.
Adam and the others lived well on the Blood Race ship, proving this point.
Blood Race's reproduction was slow, more relying on blood curse to increase population.
Eva had a unique origin, born in an enlightened mixed tribe by the coast.
This mixed tribe was a gathering place for feline Beastn.
Interestingly, Asira was one of them, due to her presence, the tribe discriminated against Eva but didn't persecute her.
Because Eva's parents still loved her, Asira didn't force Eva to go to the Eastern Wilderness, letting her live in the tribe.
Until Eva's parents fell seriously ill nearing death, entrusting her to Asira, asking her to take Eva to Night Watcher territories.
Asira wasn't in the tribe then and was escorting a ship, sending rescued Blood Race children to the Eastern Wilderness.
In unfortunate timing, the Blood Race pirates rampaged, and sensing it, took Eva away.
Asira, upon return, was furious, repeatedly applied to lead Night Watcher ships.
Ultimately, all applications were rejected.
The Night Watchers were stretched thin during Lebia Continent's wars, the Tower of Trial's establishnt, and the final counterattack, all these events unfolded within these two years.
Plus, so Beastman tribes held onto ideas of directly eliminating blood curse appearances, keeping Beastman Night Watcher Asira busy.
Thankfully, Judgent Court mbers brought her news, calming her restless heart.
According to Judgent Court's Blood Race Assassins, Blood Race pirates wouldn't harm newborn kin.
At worst, only "life wouldn't be good," so pirate thoughts and ideologies even ant living on the pirate ship could be better for those children than tribal life.
At this mont, Eva faced Asira's silence, not blaming further but tightly embraced Asira's neck.
"Thank goodness."
"Captain, I don't want to disrupt this warm mont, but according to intel, a storm is coming."
The Mage flying beside them said.
The Dwarf had already jumped onto the ship, their natural affinity and nurturing of young ones, making the Dwarf Warrior bond with these children almost instantly.
"Alright, dear juniors, we must leave, ride these birds.
Ho ho, don't be scared, they're very gentle, you'll surely beco friends with them."
The Dwarf Warrior, fully gentle like a father, lifted the children onto different bird backs one by one.
"Your na's Adam, right? Climb up."
The Mage looked at Adam and said.
Adam nodded, climbing onto the bird's back.
"Let's leave too, return to the promised place from two years ago, your actual ho."
Asira held Eva and rode on the bird's back.
The fiery giant birds spread their wings, taking to the skies amid children's screams and laughter.
Over the ocean.
Only the broken little ship remained, drifting with the waves until swallowed by the approaching storm into the sea, disappearing without a trace.
