Elona'S Legacy
Frontiers

After Ricardo recounts the whole events that happened at the hunting event including the attempted murder that occurred to him, Ricardo returns to his study and begins to prepare his plans to go to the border together with Vander, Lucas, and the other two men, and Elona.

" How are you doing, Vander? Can you come to the border?" ask Ricardo

" My situation has improved considerably, thanks to the Crown Prince's concern" Vander said

" Well, in 3 days we'll go to the border"

3 Days later, in the royal courtyard they wore ordinary clothes and prepared to ride their horses

" Are you ready? as long as we're there treat me like a friend, ok" asked Ricardo. They answered Ricardo by nodding his head

clop.clop... After one day of travel they had reached the border area, because they reached there at night they finally decided to rent an inn.

" Today we sleep in the 'X' inn and tomorrow morning we go to where I mean" Ricardo said

" Good night" said Vander and his friend

In the morning they had come out of the inn and walked towards the gemstone cave, the cave was located in the forest and its position was very difficult to detect. When they arrived at the forest they walked a little deep and there they met many wild beasts and monsters.

Klang. klang. haah.they drew their swords towards the monsters, the monster was in the form of a combination of the head of a bull with a scorpion. After some time the monsters were sprawled they entered the cave 'Y' within the cave wall there are many gemstones, there they try to find out if the cave can be connected to somewhere. They walked along the cave path using magi stone that can emit light for about an hour began to look there is a little light from outside the cave.

" Well, let's go along this cave and find out if there's any other path besides the one we're using?" ricardo said

" There I saw the light from outside the cave" Elona said as she headed for the exit

" Where do you think the road is connected to?" ask Ricardo

" Hopefully this path can lead us to where the children are" Elona said

" Yes, I don't care where the cave goes as long as I can get a clue about the boys" Lucas said

" I wish it were like that too" Ricardo said

After that they came out of the cave following the light they saw, not far from there they saw a small village filled with small children until teenagers and also there were some men with a burly body who were watching their work. When they saw the situation in the village they moved slowly and hid near the bushes that were around outside the village, while in hiding they discussed how to enter the village without being suspected.

" How do we get in there without suspicion?" ask Lucas

" I think among us Elona can easily get in there. You can disguise yourself as a newcomer to this village or a lost person" Vander said

" I agree with you but for your safety you better disguise yourself as a man" Ricardo said

" Are we going to attack him in the middle of the night? or tomorrow morning?" ask Elona

" If things allow midnight, you try to give us a signal!" ricardo said

Then Elona went into the cave alone to prepare himself as a man, he wore a larger-looking shirt and wore fake hair while Ricardo and the others waited outside the cave.

" Are you going to wait in the cave?" elona asked, nodding his head

" Elona be careful if you need our help to start a fire as a sign that you're in danger" Lucas said

" Good senior" Elona said with a smile

Afterwards, Elona heads to the village disguised as a lost man while searching for a way

" Excuse me, can you help me?" elona said to one of the burly men there who was watching the children work

" What's necessary?" said the man

" It looks like I'm lost and my legs are sprained again can I stay overnight in this village for a while?"

" Can't, we've got no empty space. Please come back"

" I don't need a room, you can give me a tent I can sleep in and I'll pay a fee to stay or I can help you clean this yard"

The man looked at Elona from top to bottom, he looked at Elona's thin body unlike one who could raise a sword let alone fight and saw that she was a little careless finally the man lowered his vigilance towards Elona.

" Can you do the job with your sprained leg?"

" Just relax sir as long as it's not a heavy job or too much use of the legs, I can do it all" Elona said in a tone of spirit. Elona hoped he could enter the guards' house.

" You come with me back and you wash these clothes!"

" Okay, thank you, sir"

As long as Elona was taken to the back of the village, he tried to remember the number of guards there and the plan of the village and remember their guarding turn. When Elona entered the village he could clearly see the children's work as if they were making war equipment. After completing her work Elona returns to the village gate trying to signal to her friends that they can carry out their plans by midnight.

" My master has completed all the work you have given me, is there anything else I can help you with?" said Elona

" You helped these kids clean this page. After that you can sleep in the corridor of the guard post"

" Good sir, I will clean the whole courtyard of this village and I assure you that by nightfall everything will be clean!"

Then Elona left a sign outside the village that could be seen from the bushes where they hid first. In the leaf litter, Elona had left a dead record of the state of the village including the number of guards she had written on the dry foliage using codes.

" That's a sign from Elona, we can enter the village tonight" said Vander, who is on duty.

" Well now we can prepare everything" Ricardo said
