One evening, as they sat together under the dark canopy of the Necromella Forest, Arut turned to Rael with a serious expression. "Why were you sent here, Rael?"


    Rael sighed. "I was sent to find a legendary weapon, but I haven''t found any trace of it."

    Arut''s eyes darkened. "I think you were sent here as a trap. To be killed by the demons of the border."


    Rael''s heart sank. "But why? What did I do to deserve that?"


    "Sometimes, being kind is seen as a weakness," Arut said softly. "But I can see now that your kindness is your greatest strength."


    Rael looked at him, her eyes shining with tears. "Thank you, Arut. Your words mean a lot to me."
