Van Bloot carried the human over one shoulder for a while, but he eventually decided to carry her bridal style. He was kind enough to bring her machete with them, just in case the human proved useful to him. He knew she would eventually, but the question was how long would it take, and knowing what her parents were like, he would not put it past her to put on an act just to get what she wanted.
Who would have thought such hideous parents could produce such a beautiful child. he thought as he looked down at the human in his arms, wanting to run his fingures across her golden-tan face. He longed to give her a gentle shake, thus waking her up. He wanted to look into those pretty brown eyes and find out her name, but he was not in the mood to deal with a panic attack from some rebellious human.
It was beginning to rain when he found a cave to rest in for the night. He carried the human to the back of the cave and nuzzled her as he laid her on the ground. Van Bloot took her backpack off of her, partially to make her more comfortable, but mostly just because he wanted to see what was inside it.
Aside from the plants she had been cutting, there wasn't much; just some tinted lipbalm and mascara in a small pocket on the right side of the bag. The plants could be used to fuel a fire later on, but they weren't necessary right then, so he put them back in her backpack.
Van Bloot laid down just close enough to her to put the tip of his wings over her. He was not a deep sleeper, so any movement she made would surely wake him up. He faced the entrance to the cave, wanting the first thing he saw in the morning to be the entrance, just in case someone was trying to enter.
But back in the village, not far from where he had met the human, there was more commotion. Word had gotten out that the human female had been captured by a winged creature, and her mouse-like friend was already trying to find someone to send a message to Kiru City.
"I wasn't planning on going there for two more days, but circumstances being what they are..." a male voice trailed off. Whoever it was, he was dressed in Overworld armor, a clear sign that he was part of the Overworld army.
"Must I remind you that this human is considered an Overworlder?" the mouse-like female reminded him
"You know I don't care much for humans, Utlara." the male said her name with obvious dislike "Still, this could be the start of an epidemic. I suppose I have to send word to Ronink in the morning."
"And as for the human's brother?" Utlara worried that the king wouldn't do anything about the daughter of Klay and Krystella, but their son was a completely different story
"What happens will happen." the male said as if it were no big deal
"Very well." the mouse-like female bowed her head in disappointment as she left the massage with the solder. She wanted to deliver it herself, but she had too much work to do. The plantation she worked and lived on was a major source of food for the village, and now that Rose Dust was missing, there was even more work to be done.
Dispite what he said, the solder rushed out later that night with a backpack filled with whatever he thought he may need. He truly was going to wait until the next day, but he could not sleep after hearing the news.
