" Guys... we have to hurry! Anna has a huge fever and I read in her book at basil tea is good for keep fevers down!"

" Ok! We'll look for it, Ray! You go and see if Anna is ok!" - Gilda pointed the way back to Ray

" But I should-"

" Don't hurry bro, Gilda knows a lot about plants too! We'll find it!

Ray was worried. Of course he trusted Gilda and Don but... Anna looked really bad and the image of her fating into his arms gave him a shiver in his spine. For someone racional, Ray seemed to be lost in his own emotions:

* I shouldn't had left her! What if a demon appeared? Of I had to go search for the basil... Damn please be all right Anna... I wouldn't forgive myself if I was to let you die*

Still, Ray ran with all his strength to find Anna lying inside the tree hole, with her eyes sightly open. She had remained her consciousness and she didn't look so pale. Ray smiled and ran to her:

" Anna, that a relief!  Are you all right? Sorry I left you alone... I was searching for some plant that could help your fever go down, I'am really-"

Ray wasn't expecting that: Anna got up with all her strength and huged him by the neck and buried her face in his scarf:

" Don't worry Ray... I'm fine... I think I ate a plant I wasn't supposed too... I confused one which is edible but one which is a bit poisoness... sorry"

" You dummy..." - Ray huged Anna back and noticed she felt asleep in his arms, since she was so tiered. Ray moved her and lay her down in the grown. He took of his scarf and dipped it on a little slop next to the tree and put it on Anna's forehead. As she fell asleep, Ray caress her hair as he smiled:

* Your right Emma, damn... we are in a hopeless world full of demons and I still hope your crazy plan comes true... I live to see it come to life...I live to protect the ones who never left me behind... Is it ok for me to dream?*

" Ray we found it! We found the basil for Anna! How is she?"

" Now she is sleeping but she seems better. When I arrived she had her eyes open and she even talked to me"

" Ok... but we need to take her to the demon village, to treat her and make the basil tea"

" WHAT? The demon village? Is that really the best option?"

" Don't worry Ray, just like you must have realized already, Emma was right! Just like there are good people and bad people, there are good demons too, just like Musica! We made some friends who can help Anna!"

" Really...ok I guess it will work for now"

Still a little hesitant, Ray carried Anna on his back as Don picked up their back packs. Gilda had the plant and the medicinal book they would need to make Anna's tea. 

We village wasn't that far so they arrived quite soon. The houses there almost human like and Ray heard some little demons playing in the grass. As Ray looked that them, he saw Gilda and Don talking to a adult demon that seemed to know them:

That's right... Norman was planing to destroy all that. Eventually, the plan Ray actually approved seemed evil in his eyes:

* It's like killing the whole human race just because some humans made a terrible sin! It's the same thing.... demons are cursed, they don't have the fault! *

" Ray... We want to present you Lorde Barishard, the demon who rules this village!" -  Ray filched but he offered his hand in return:

" It's a pleasure to meet you sir! Could you please help our friend? "
