In the morning when we had just finished breakfast, I suddenly felt an incredibly strong call inside me. A call that could only come from one, Bac! I immediately got up from my chair, Yibo did the same, our eyes met, he came to me, took my hand and together we ran outside leaving the others confused.

We ran as fast as we could to the gate and out and then we saw him. At the head of an incredible sight, an unbelievably large army of many different creatures that we had never seen before, our King Bac! We ran towards him and he towards us. When we reached him, he wrapped his arms around us and hugged us tightly. Like a father seeing his sons again after a very long time.

It was a very emotional reunion. After this heartfelt embrace, Bac first stroked my face and head, then Yibo, and finally he turned his gaze to our parents, who had also come out of the house in the meantime. Still a bit shy they stood there and obviously didn't know how to act, except Yibo's dad.

Yibo's dad came to us and asked, "How do you greet the king? I would like to introduce myself and thank him."

Bac laughed loudly, reached his hand to my father-in-law and shook it vigorously. "Hello." Said Bac in his deep voice.

"Hi. It's nice to finally meet you. Zhan and Yibo have talked so much about you, I was quite eager to meet you in person. I also wanted to thank you for helping my son and son-in-law, saving them and even making them stronger." Said Yibo's father with a smile.

"Yibo is friend. I like to help friend very much." Replied Bac. Meanwhile, the others also came closer.

My parents approached Bac together and both grabbed his hands. "Thank you very, very much for everything." Said my mom.

My dad nodded and said, "Thanks to you, our sons are still alive. Thank you." At that moment, Bac tilted his head and sniffed my dad. He even touched my dad's cheek with his nose, who in turn looked at us in confusion,

"You have blood of Amore in you." Said Bac. Well, now I guess it's clear which part of the family I got that from. My dad didn't know how to react, so he just nodded and shrugged his shoulders at the same time. That looked pretty funny.

Yibo's mom put her hands on Bac's hand and Bac smiled. "You have blood from Demoids." He said without really having to sniff her. And before she could say anything or react in a similarly hilarious way to my dad, two Demoids stepped out from the ranks of the army and terrified us all. "Don't worry, they friends." Said Bac. But it didn't really reassure us.

The Demoids approached Yibo's mom, took a long sniff at her and Yibo, and one of the Demoids handed Yibo's mom a stone that began to glow when she held it. "Blood of a king!" Said the Demoid and got down on his knees in front of Yibo and his mom. The other Demoid did the same.

Bac waved a couple of his warriors over, pulling a wooden cart behind them with freshly killed animals on top. "For you! You need meat." Said Bac and had the cart parked in front of Jing, who was still keeping his distance.

Jing looked at the dead animals and suddenly hugged one of the Amores. "Thank you. Thank you." He said and rubbed his eyes. Yibo and I knew they hadn't eaten meat in a long time, but we didn't realize how much they had obviously suffered from it until that moment.

Bac's wife was also there, holding the little prince in her arms. The little one had grown quite a bit, but was still a baby. My mom saw the baby prince and walked up to Bac's wife. She asked, "Can I touch him?" And the queen squeezed her son into my mom's arms, who held him proudly and showed him to my dad. "This little one is so cute." She said with a grin and stroked his cheek.

"He has such beautiful eyes. And look at those little hands." Wondered Yibo's mom, whose attention was now also on the little prince. The little prince seemed to like that a lot.
