Cale did not know that this was the first time she used the term, �home.� However, he was relieved that the alliance would probably be completed without a hitch.

One week later, Rosalyn left with a completely pale Pen and headed for the Breck Kingdom. Cale started to speak once they left.

�Let�s go back.�

They would stay at Harris Village in the Forest of Darkness until next spring.

Cale half-heartedly responded to Raon�s questions.

�Human, does it snow here in the winter?�

�Probably?�

�Then will there be a lot of flowers in the spring?�

�Probably?�

As Cale had answered, Raon would go on to see snow in the winter and flowers blooming in the spring.

Time had gone by, and Cale had turned 19 years old. (They seem to be using the Korean process of becoming one year older on January 1. While Koreans celebrate birthdays, everybody gets one year older at the same time on January 1. )

�Young master-nim, it is time to wake up.�

Ron was trying to wake Cale up. Cale was curled up underneath the blanket, with even his head covered. On and Hong, who had grown up much more, were pressing down on him with their paws.

�Human, you have slept for 13 hours! Are you hibernating? You are not a bear! Spring is over, so you can stop sleeping!�

Raon, who looked like he grew about 10 cm, urged Cale to get up. Cale, who was rolling around the bed, answered without opening his eyes.

�Haaaa, time goes by so quickly.�

It was already late spring.

It was time for him to head to Ten Finger Mountain, the location of the final ancient power.

However, there were some things that he needed to confirm before leaving.

�It�s not very comfortable.�

The necromancer Mary nodded her head and handed him a cushion. Cale put another cushion underneath himself as he looked forward.

�But the view is killer.�

As long as you didn�t worry about the bones breaking down that is. JrNovels.com
