Leuco, who was taking care of the little Damjana, looked with joy at the sky because that day reinforcements would arrive to take the little girl to a safer place.
“Damjana, you should be quite happy because soon you will be in a calmer place and away from this despicable war.
I am sure that you will enjoy your life on the human continent as the first elf girl to ever set foot in our home.
It will undoubtedly be a very pleasant experience. “
Little Damjana looked at Leuco with a melancholy smile. “But you won’t be there and that makes me sad. If you could come with me, I think I would feel more saved.”
Leuco looked at the girl with affection and stroked her head, so he ended up ruffling her. “Little Damjana, you know that I am not a good person.
My hands are completely stained with blood and there is nothing I can do to correct that.
Unfortunately, I also have a mission to do and it is very important for the human race because I have to find the place where your parents were taken.
Because possibly it is about the place that we have to destroy to prevent humans from being destroyed, how do you know the war is at an increasingly complicated point.
This is because the large number of skeletons on the battlefield are reducing our advance significantly.
It is a matter of time before we can stop completely and at that moment, perhaps a counterattack on their part will start. That is why I cannot go with you.
However, I can promise to visit you in my free time. I just hope you don’t mind accompanying me to the cemetery so I can bring flowers for my family.
Well, how do you know my family is dead so the last thing I can keep from them is just their graves and some photos. “
Damjana smiled and squeezed Leuco’s hand. “I don’t know worry, Mr. Leuco. I’m sure you can overcome their deaths. You’re very strong.
Not like me. I’m too weak that I had to be hidden by my mother so they wouldn’t hurt me ... “
The girl at that moment interrupted her words because I can hear some explosions in the distance. Leuco gritted his teeth because those had been one of the land mines that he had installed in the security perimeter.
I knew they couldn’t be animals because not only one exploded, at least 5 of them exploded at the same time.
So Leuco took his things, and with his hand he carried the little Damjana. “I’m sorry, little girl, but we will have to get out of this place.
Why it seems that the elves want to check this area is why we have to leave quickly and head towards the interior of the Forest because in that area we will be safe.
That means that unfortunately you cannot go to the human continent, at least not for the moment, but do not worry, you will accompany me throughout my adventure.
From what I will teach you what the life of a sniper is like, I know that it will not be easy but you just follow my rules and I promise you that you will be able to learn everything I know to be able to survive in these places.
It will not be something simple, nor will it be something that takes a short time to turn on, but I can promise you that you will not suffer any injury because I will protect you.
Now just watch silently as he set up the dynamite with a simple clock mechanism to blow up this place completely. “
After finishing saying those words, Leuco ran quickly towards all the houses in the small town to activate the dynamite’s self-destruct mechanisms, which he programmed to detonate in only 10 minutes.
When it was completely finished, he started to run while carrying the little Damjana in his hands, as he moved quickly through the woods.
He began to hear how the noises of the landmines were getting louder and louder and he could also see smoke in the distance.
From what he could assume that the elves were getting closer and closer to where he was, which was quite dangerous as that meant that he would have to face them if he did not move further away.
But as a highly trained military man and as a member of the sniper team, he keeps running without wanting to move while carrying more than 100 kg of luggage with him, taking into account the small weight of the girl in his hands.
Little Damjana, for her part, simply hugged Leuco’s neck and watched the smoke rise through the sky.
After running for a few minutes, a noise of a great explosion could be heard in the distance, so Leuco smiled because with that explosion he had managed to escape.
Because it would be too complicated for them to follow him when they did not know if there were more explosives in the place or if there was any danger.
So he decided to take a short break to drink some water, then he picked up Damjana again and kept running.
That day at least he traveled about 30 km deeper and deeper into the elven territory through the forest, so tiredly he prepared a place to sleep at the base of a tree.
Because he had little Damjana with him, he made a good place for him to sleep while he just covered himself with a blanket.
While he was sleeping sitting leaning against the tree, little Damjana, who was already lying down, looked curiously at Leuco.
“Mr. Leuco, are you thinking of something?”
Leuco raised his head and looked at the beautiful night sky. “I was just thinking about the time I took my son fishing.
All day we enjoyed an afternoon in father and son. When night came, we put up our tents and watched the night sky while enjoying a bonfire.
Something that I will still remember and that I will never be able to forget because it really was a too pleasant sensation, but you should sleep because tomorrow will be a heavy day.
I will carry you half the way, but the other half of the way you will have to walk.
Do not worry with the boots that you already have a little slow speed. You should be fine. I will not force you so that you can advance more than you can. “
Damjana smiled and closed her eyes. “Thank you Mr. Leuco, you are very kind to an orphan girl like me.”
Leuco just shook his head ‘Thanks to you little Damjana, you have shown me that I can still be a human.’
