After eating the Ahuizotl, he looked at Dragan earnestly. “I am willing to accept the job, but you have to guarantee me through a blood treaty that you will take care of my daughter.
During the time that I am away because I am worried that something could happen to him.
She is all I have, and I am not going to let something happen to her. “
Dragan smiled and reached out with his right hand to later take a dagger from his left hand.
Using the blade of the weapon, he cut the palm of his hand and began to recite a spell in elvish.
When he finished, he said, “In the name of my life, I, Dragan, promise to take care of the Ahuizotl’s daughter while he does the work of taking a group of volunteers to the oasis.
When the oasis has been expanded, he will have fulfilled his mission so he can return to retrieve his little daughter.
Who should be being cared for with the best conditions? “
When he finished saying those words, a seal was created in Dragan’s hand so the Ahuizotl nodded.
“Tomorrow I will help your volunteers to go to the oasis. Today I just want to rest with my daughter.
Recovering my body is too tiring for me, not to mention that I am still somewhat stressed from the pain I am feeling for that short period of time. “
Dragan nodded. “Follow me, I’ll show you where you can rest.”
The Ahuizotl got up from his chair and began to follow Dragan through the base. After a few minutes, they reached a beautifully decorated hut.
“Tradition dictates that only those who leave the forest will be able to rest in this place for as long as they wish.
The hut is tailored to the host’s tastes, so you will have everything you need once you enter the interior. “
The Ahuizotl looked at the hut and when he entered he realized that it looked the same as Regina’s house, only that it had more things to take care of little Diana.
Like a crib that looked very comfortable and a tub so he could bathe his little daughter.
The first thing the Ahuizotl did was walk to the crib to let his daughter sleep. Later he went to the tub and placed water to later heat it using a fire stone.
When the water was at a comfortable temperature, the Ahuizotl got into the hot tub and let the heat of the water wash away the dried blood on its fur.
It was the first time for him to receive such a great pain in a physical way. He could only hope that tomorrow, things would be much better.
Well, he would have to go back to that cursed forest where he might have to fight some shadow dragons again.
The difference was that he could fight against the current of shadows, although it will take longer to arrive because his daughter would be safe in the hut.
Knowing that Dragan would take care of her because of the blood contract, he had no worries as the blood contract was an ancient way of promising things.
It was something that all species knew, as it is said that long ago, the gods created the blood contract as a way to make all species.
They could trust each other so that from the moment one is born, they know how to make a blood contract, which is not very complicated and changes from person to person.
But the result is the same, a seal that guarantees that the promise will be kept.
The Ahuizotl enjoyed his bath until the water began to cool, at which point he had no choice but to use a saponin sheet with which he washed his fur.
After this, he got out of the bathtub and, using his shadow magic, he dried her fur and got ready to sleep a bit before her baby will wake up hungry.
The next day at the gates of the wall were 10 volunteer soldiers and 2 Druids.
All of them were carrying enough weapons and clothing with them to be able to prepare to face whatever they might encounter in their path.
Not only that, but they also carried some seeds and some other objects with which they could be even more sustainable in that oasis.
The Ahuizotl looked at all of them and asked them to hold hands while one of them held the Ahuizotl’s hand.
With that done, the Ahuizotl put everyone in the world of shadows and started on his way to the oasis located to the south.
Although it was only 30 kilometers, it would take a whole day to get there.
At first, the cursed forest seemed to be completely alone, so they were able to move smoothly through the shadows.
But everything began to change when, after an hour of travel, the skeletons began to gather like a herd of flies, ready to attack everyone.
Although because they were in the shadow world, it was impossible for them to attack them, but still they looked at all the skeletons with some fear because they looked dark.
This is because the vast majority of them simply stood in a place waiting in silence for them to leave.
Fortunately, there did not appear to be shadow dragons, so the path was quiet and there was no great affectation that made them fight.
After a few hours of walking, they were able to reach the Oasis, so once they entered the protective circle, they were surprised to see such a beautiful place.
Which seemed to be completely different from the things they had seen on the outside, as they could see animals and insects.
The druids could sense the magic of one of the seals, so they knew of the sacrifice he had made to build that place.
They then removed their doubts and prepared to do the ritual to enlarge the protective circle. For their part, the rest of the volunteer soldiers began to prepare everything to create their camp.
Well, the hut was not very big for them, while they did the Ahuizotl only rest in silence because he had used a lot of magic.
Which was good because the more magic he used, he could increase his reserves, guaranteeing that he could last longer in his irregular form.
