And there was Lune, lost without knowing where to return. She knows she promised her father not to put herself in danger, but it was unavoidable. She can't just sit and watch everyone fight, and besides, it was an emergency, because it was the beasts who attacked the camp. She got lost following a group of these beings, whom she of course defeated, but in exchange, she got lost.
She walks trying to follow the tracks she left, but obviously they have already been erased by the wind and other animals walking around. She searches in the bag she carries on her waist for something that can be useful, but she only had a cookie. At least she won't be hungry, and she also has a light gem, which she turns on to see the way.
The night had already advanced and she was sure that she had already passed through that place. Surely she was walking in circles, so she looked for a trunk where she sat down. The temperature was dropping, she wasn't going to be able to sleep in the open there. She lit a flame on a branch and left it on the ground to warm her body, although it would be difficult to sleep in that place, especially if there is only dirt. She looked up, a tree would be a better option, but the problem is the cold. If she sleeps, the flame will surely go out. She sighed and resigned herself to gathering branches and leaves to lie on, at least she would be a little comfortable.
That's how the night was passing, when sleep began to overcome her, the flame began to go out, so she would wake up again and again, until morning came. Lucky for her that no beasts came out to attack her. Since it was daytime, perhaps it would be easier to find the way back. She began to walk north. If she remembers correctly, they are near the border of Flylen, maybe she can find a village and get a horse. After all, she still has some coins and a cookie.
Being already tired, she sits on a log and stretches her feet a little. Luckily she wasn't wearing heels the night of the attack and those boots were the first thing she could grab in the chaos of the attack. She was looking up trying to find a fruit tree, but there was none. She supposes it is because the beasts inhabit that place and just as she looked at a tree, she noticed that the branches were moving. There is definitely something there, so she places her hand on the hilt of her sword, ready to attack whatever it is, but she starts walking again. If she looks around, there are at least five of those things following her and they will soon show themselves. They were huge beasts like a mixture of mantises and spiders, huge legs and pincers to attack, along with fierce jaws. Lune prepares with her sword but in an oversight, that thing throws a kind of sticky thread at her that snatches the sword and another pounces on her trying to cut her with its pincers. Lune kicks it and manages to free herself, but as she runs, another beast manages to reach her pulling her ankle, so she kicks but can't break free.
"Damn it... I guess there's no other choice..." she has to use her power.
Just when she raises her hand, something jumps against the beast and this causes it to release her. Lune crawls backwards and sees that what attacked, was a huge white werewolf, who easily tore those beasts with his claws. Upon finishing with the last one, he turns towards Lune, who had already picked up her sword. Lune knows perfectly well what that thing is, a werewolf, which means she is near the border of Flylen. But even if he is a werewolf, it doesn't mean that he can't be aggressive with her for not being from that territory, so she must be prepared.
Although before she could say anything or talk to him, she hears the galloping of horses, so the werewolf simply prefers to leave. It doesn't take long for the hunters of the Blanche to appear.
"My lady... thank the gods you're alright." expresses the captain.
He was a man who was not over thirty, well preserved and good looking. His wife must be very jealous, especially because as a hunter he must travel a lot. But that doesn't matter anymore.
"Captain Reynold, I never thought I'd say this, but I'm glad to see you."
"I say the same, I don't even want to know what your father would do to me if I only bring him a leg or an arm of yours." he jokes.
"Your concern touches me, sir."
"Come on, we must get out of here before nightfall."
One of the men hands her a horse, so she gets on and they head in the same direction as her. Reynold says that when leaving the forest there is a town protected with a barrier, so they can stay there until tomorrow.

On the other hand, in a mansion, that white lycan enters through the door of said residence, where he returns to his human form, while a butler passes him a robe, which he puts on to cover his body.
"Were you able to find what you were looking for, your highness?" asks the old man.
"One can say yes and I don't think it will be a nuisance. Send a message to my mother, tell her there is no danger."
"Of course, your highness. With your permission." the man bows and withdraws.
That albino boy goes up the stairs to go to his room, asking other servants to prepare his bath. Being in his bathtub he remembers what has happened, his mother had sent him to say that there was a growing energy of dark magic in the territories of the neighboring kingdom, so she asked him to investigate, in case it is any threat to the empire, but the source of that energy, turned out to be just a young girl and her presence did not seem aggressive, but what caught his attention is that despite being attacked by those beasts, she showed no fear, not even before him, when sometimes humans are usually scared before the presence of a werewolf.
"Interesting..." he smiled slyly.
