[Demon Continent, near Demon king's Castle]

As the cold wind swept by the barren field separating the alliance and the Demon army, the former however could be seen sending patrolling team to survey the surroundings

Sometimes bored to death as usual Elijah would somehow sneak into the group and help keeping lookout

At first the soldiers were shocked to see a hero doing something like this, but moments later due to Elijah's friendliness he somehow managed to make befriend such soldiers

Of course at most he wanted to be alone as he sit on a small hill observing the barren field, the red sky, and the black castle at the end of the field

As he observed such sight he suddenly felt a presence walking up from behind him

"Your here? Well that wasn't hard at all" said Queen Vivian his mother

"Mother... "

"What's wrong? Is something bothering you? Atleast tell me about it" urged Queen Vivian as she sits beside her own son

After seeing his mother sitting beside him, Elijah then once again glanced at the black castle from afar as he then heaved a sigh

"Well... Mother! Have you ever expected that in your generation as leader of the elves, you would go into war?" Asked Elijah

"Hmm? I don't know but I'm pretty sure every ruler has experienced war, even thought small and not like ours" answered  Queen Vivian

"Well now that I thought about it, I think my new self is overlapping my old self" said Elijah in a joking manner

"And what do you mean by that?" Asked Queen Vivian

"Nothing much but me getting used to fighting is something unnattainable to me in the past"

"Huh?"

"!!!"

At that moment Elijah felt like he almost spilled the beans of being an otherworlder to his mother, thus causing him to close his mouth

Seeing him acting like that Queen Vivian then let go of such an act and returned the atmosphere between the two of them as they observed the plain

"Hey Elijah"

"Yes mother?"

"What do you say?" Asked Queen Vivian

Confused on what she was asking Elijah then returned that question with another question

"What do you mean?" He asked

"What I... No I mean is that how about travelling the world after this war? She asked again

Hearing that Elijah seemed a bit overjoyed as he smiled back at her and happily said

"Sure thing mom"

With that both the mother and son seemed to have felt relaxed despite the situation as they laughed together in their own bonding

Far from them Horus seemed to be observing both the Queen and the Hero as they laughed, causing Horus to smile towards such warm scene

After seeing that he then remembered Cara, the only distant relative that had managed to find him after travelling far and wide

Looking at his palm that has wrinkles all over it, Horus then gave a heavy sighed as he  murmured to himself

"Is it time for me to pass everything to her? I'm tired, too tired to be exact... How many years have I spent exactly... I want to rest"

After sighing he then suddenly felt a flunctuation of a huge Mana force from far beyond the plain causing him to become serious in just a few moments
