Chapter 38: Her True IdentityThey get startled at first.
"Higher Priest.." Cyprian softly says after realizing who that voice was.
"What?" Lee asks, looking around and then to Zin.
"I’m not sensing anyone around." Zin speaks.
"I’m not anywhere near you. I’m in the Great Wall Temple."
"Since when did you know about her, my old friend?" Cyprian asks.
"Since before she met Wayde." Claud answers.
"How do you know my name?" Wayde asks.
"I know all of you. Astri tells me a lot about you." Claud speaks.
"So you know her longer than us?" Cyprian asks.
"Yes. We talk everyday since before she met Wayde."
"Wait. Wait! Explain from the beginning." Lee speaks.
"I’ve been looking after her for 20 years. It was known that Pegasus were extinct, but when I discovered that the last Pegasus were found and killed by the monster king, and that he sent his cub somewhere distant to try saving her. I started my
She didn’t know he was in her mind, she was too focused on saving her mates. When she fainted, he knew he would need to put his plans to work before he expected.
Without her energy controlled, she will call attention from monsters and soon from evil beastmen.
Lee went out again to organize wider patrols and check casualties. They lost one female and her five spouses died with the backlash.
Eight more beastmen died too, but Lee is impressed that only a few of them died after such a big attack.
"We need to widen our patrols. I’ll put feathered beastmen to patrol from the sky and you should put your wolves to patrol on land. After the great walls we’re building." Lee says to Shung.
"Yes. We need to be more prepared for new attacks like this. I believe we should also have patrols around the villages too for now."
"Good idea. Layers of security. The great walls will have the function of keeping danger outside, so we need to focus on finishing the walls too."
Shung nods.
"I’ll tell my tribesmen to work harder for that. If it wasn’t for you and Cyprian we would have had many more deaths, thank you leader Lee. " Shung says.
"Thank you too. I’ll be going now to talk to my tribesmen and then go back home."
"Is Astri all right? Was she attacked? I heard Wayde’s call." Shung asks.
"She was attacked but she’s fine thankfully. She’s not hurt." Lee answers.
"For a moment I thought a thunderstorm would hit us, but I think it was a quick cloud." Shung speaks.
Lee stays quiet, because what Shung heard was Astri.
"True. I think the rain went somewhere else." Lee says.
He flies away to his tribe, but his mind is on Astri.
The Higher Priest was her friend since the beginning and she never told them that. Lee is always jealous of Astri, and he takes time to accept a male courting her.
He doesn’t know the Higher Priest’s intentions with her, but Lee is sure he doesn’t like their closeness.
