Yara had stared at them both with an expression of disbelief and acceptance. She knew the expressions on their faces very well, she had spent enough time with Moon and Selene to understand when they made up their minds about something.
"…Ah, just be careful. Nobody except the Benefactor truly knows what resides in that place. Perhaps dozens of powerful beasts like the Magma Queen take that part of the island as their home."
Moon nodded his head with no real emotion on his face. On the other hand, Selene hugged Yara, comforting her. "Don't worry sweetheart, we will return. We are strong, remember?"
Yara nodded her head, a weak smile on her face, "I-I just…don't want to lose anyone anymore."
Hiccup!
The sound uncontrollably escaped Yara's throat. Yara could feel a lump forming in her throat but she held on, stopping herself from crying next her two friends.
