As Evelynn and Damian ventured deeper into the enchanting forest, they were captivated by the breathtaking scenery that surrounded them. The lush greenery of the towering trees cast a serene, emerald hue over the landscape, while the air was filled with the soothing melodies of birdsong and the gentle rustling of leaves. The atmosphere was alive with an air of mystery, and the duo couldn't help but feel drawn to the mystical energy that permeated the air.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69OtTNK3SV

Damian, his brow furrowed in perplexity, shook his head gently. "What voice, Evelynn? I didn't hear anything except you and that fairy from before," he replied, his tone tinged with confusion.

Evelynn's face fell slightly, but her determination remained unwavered. "But there's clearly a voice A soft, yet fragile voice, the same one we heard back at the clubhouse when Queen Fiona was about to arrive," she insisted, her gaze darting back and forth as she searched for the source of the mysterious sound.

Damian, still puzzled, could only shrug his shoulders. "Isn't it your imagination, Evelynn?" he asked, his tone gentle and reassuring. Evelynn paused, her brow furrowed as she grappled with the dilemma.

However, her attention was soon drawn to the mesmerizing glow of the pathway, which seemed to beckon them forward. "Damian, let's just focus on the path, okay?" she suggested, deciding to let the enigmatic voice fade into the background for the moment.

As they walked, the path began to wind deeper into the forest, the trees growing taller and the shadows growing darker. The air grew thick with an otherworldly energy, and Evelynn felt her heart beating faster with every step. Suddenly, a light appeared in the distance, casting a warm glow over the forest floor. Evelynn's eyes widened in wonder, and she reached out to Damian's hand, her fingers intertwining with his in a gentle caress.

Damian's eyes followed hers, and he nodded solemnly. "That's the deep jungle. It's the end of the Reaverrest Forest where it leads to the other side of the kingdom," he explained, his voice low and serious.

Evelynn's eyes then diverted to Damian's worried eyes, her expression softening with concern. "But... I see... a light coming from there. Isn't it another sign?" Damian looked at her direction where she mentioned the light, his brow furrowed in concern.

"Yes... but... I'm not sure Evelynn. I mean... I don't think we could go and come back in safety," he warned, his voice tinged with caution.

Evelynn looked down, then back at Damian, her eyes filled with a mix of determination and uncertainty. "Then what should we do? I just feel stuck here," she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.

198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLIFKNabDK
Damian thought for a moment, his eyes scanning the forest floor. "Maybe... we should just wait here... it's a flat place here, we can set a den and a place to sleep here. Besides, that could be the far away sun setting, its light from the little space the dense trees make," he suggested, his voice filled with a quiet conviction.

Evelynn nodded, her expression softening with understanding. "Okay, I guess... I know more about this than I do... I guess I'll have to trust you then," she said, her voice filled with a quiet acceptance.

Damian smiled widely, his eyes shining with relief and happiness. "I'll set up the den, okay? You stay here and rest, must be tired from that long walking, huh? Be right back, okay, call me if you need anything," he said, his voice filled with a gentle reassurance.

As Damian set up the den, Evelynn walked over to him, her eyes filled with a quiet concern. "Damian... Do you need help with anything at all? I really want to help," she asked, her voice filled with a quiet eagerness.

Damian looked at her in surprise, his eyes flashing with a mix of gratitude and embarrassment. "Um no, it's okay... I'm just finished. I'm going to clean here a bit then we can go inside," he said, his voice filled with a quiet humility.

Evelynn felt more bad, her eyes dropping to the ground as she watched Damian finish the den. She then looked around, noticing the bug sheet of leaves that Damian had set up for the inside of the den. She sprinted towards it, picking it up with a quiet determination. But because of its heavy weight, it was a bit hard for her to carry. Evelynn walked slowly to Damian, carefully carrying the giant leaves, but suddenly, when she was close to Damian, a naughty rock lying on the ground met with Evelynn's foot, instantly making her almost trip. But good thing Damian's instinct was faster than her fall, and he quickly caught Evelynn before she could even meet the forest floor.

Evelynn stands up from Damian's arms and looked down, "Sorry... I've only want to help you. You've done so much, but... I have done nothing. I feel like a burden now," she said, her voice filled with a quiet sadness.

198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQSpILNHUc
Damian then looked at Evelynn with a worried face, "Evelynn. Don't you ever say that, that's nonsense and I never want you to feel that. I just don't want you to get tired because this set up needs a lot of work, and I don't want you to feel that. Please don't be like that," he said, his voice filled with a quiet desperation.

With that Evelynn smiled gently at him, "Sorry... I just don't want to feel useless. I mean I'm no one compare to y-" she said, her voice barely above a whisper.
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqwUvOcZZq
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9AzYm348ML
But before she could continue her words, Damian hugged her tightly, stopping her harsh words that were coming from her mouth, "No. You're special. No one is useless and never think about that. Okay?" he said, his voice filled with a quiet conviction.
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZcBIdi3jC

198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQKmt2Wqwl
To be honest, the hug from Damian was definitely personal as he could possibly stop Evelynn's words with other ways that could represent as friends, but knowing that he is using a caring way, makes Evelynn yet, another tomato. Her heart melted, thinking how sweet Damian is.

Night had come, and Evelynn and Damian were setting inside the den. They talked and talked and talked until the sun set. After a few moments of talking with each other, Evelynn noticed that the sun was not here anymore with them. It's dark with shiny stars in the sky. And yes, Damian was right, it's just the sun setting as it's gone by now.

Damian then looked at the sky, feeling the chilling breeze from the cold wind, "Wow, It's a dream to be sleeping beneath the stars. I wasn't allowed to when being in the royal palace," he said, his voice filled with a quiet longing.

After a few hours of chatting, Evelynn looked at Damian with sleepy eyes, "Damian... we haven't encountered any sign yet... should we go asleep? I mean... it's been hours since we stay like this...," she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYJ9HcoN48
