Escape

Without hesitation, General Ustanac immediately thrust his sharp claws into Alvar's stomach. Alvar shouted very loudly. Blood poured out of Alvar's body. Instantly his face turned deathly pale.

“Y-you will never find and master that artifact. I won't..." said Alvar in a weak voice.

Hearing his enemy's words, General Ustanac became even more annoyed. He stared intently at Alvar's dying face while sinking his sharp claws even deeper. Alvar screamed even more in pain and suddenly he vomited fresh blood from his mouth. His hand gripped General Ustanac's hand tightly which was piercing his body until finally his hand suddenly fell limp, his breath exhaled for the last time. His life ended at the hands of General Ustanac.

After successfully killing Alvar, General Ustanac looked disappointed. He felt he had failed to get information from the only person who knew the whereabouts of the artifact. From the top of the building, General Ustanac looked around him. This was his first time setting foot on planet earth.

General Ustanac did not give up on getting the artifact. While looking at Alvar's body, the general thought hard about how to find the artifact until suddenly he noticed something odd on Alvar's neck. A silver necklace with a heart-shaped pendant is around Alvar's neck.

General Ustanac's hand pulled the necklace around Alvar's neck. He seems so curious. With his hand, General Ustanac opened the silver pendant and his yellow eyes immediately bulged wide. He saw a photo from inside the locket. The photo shows an adult woman and a teenage boy.

"Who are they? They must be important people to Alvar.” General Ustanac continued to look at the photo and it turned out that those in the photo were Margareth and Elron.

“It seems they know where the artifact is. I have to find them!” said General Ustanac.

Margaret's residence.

“Elron, have you packed your things? We have to go now. Your father will be here any minute.” Margareth looked panicked and in a hurry. He was seen carrying a large backpack on his back.

Elron had just come out of his room on the 2nd floor. He immediately approached his mother who was still busy packing her things. His face looked annoyed, maybe it was because he was forced to move again.

“I'm done, Mom. Actually, where are we going to move next? Why is it always sudden? I'm tired of living like this, Mom.”

“We'll talk about it later on the way. Now we just have to wait for father to come."

Margareth and Elron waited anxiously in her house. After 15 minutes of waiting, Alvar didn't come and that made Margareth panic even more. The brown-eyed woman immediately took out her cellphone to contact her husband.

After several attempts to contact Alvar, there was no response from Alvar. Anxiety and fear increasingly penetrated Margareth's feelings.

"What happened? He was never like this before.”

After waiting for a long time, Margareth suddenly remembered what Alvar had said several years ago. Alvar once said that if an emergency situation occurred and he couldn't be contacted, Margareth and Elron would have to go alone without waiting for him.

"We have to get out of this house now, Elron."

Elron was surprised. "But, dad hasn't come yet..."

“This time, we're not waiting for him, Darling. We have to leave now!”

Elron seemed to object when he had to leave without Alvar, but his mother still insisted. Carrying their personal belongings, Margareth and Elron rushed into the car. Margareth immediately pressed the gas in her car and immediately left her house.

During the journey, Margareth tried to contact Alvar again but there was still no answer from him. Of course, that's because Alvar has died. Even though she was feeling anxious, Margareth continued driving her car in the heavy rain. It seemed like she already knew where she was going.

Throughout the journey, Margareth continued to worry about Alvar's condition. She had imagined the worst scenario that would happen to her beloved husband. Elron, who was sitting in the back of the car, could only ponder while looking at the heavy rain outside.

Not long after they left the house, General Ustanac and several of his men came to the house. They used invisible technology to enter the two-story house so that humans were not aware of their presence.

After entering his house, General Ustanac and his men turned off the invisible technology until their figures, soaked in the rain, were clearly visible this time. General Ustanac ordered his men to check all the rooms in Alvar's house. The general's 5 men immediately spread out and went to check the entire room.

While waiting for his men, General Ustanac looked around the living room. The lizard-like monster stared one by one at the family photos displayed in the family room. You can see photos of Alvar, Margareth and Elron smiling cheerfully in the photos.

While the General was looking at the photos, his five subordinates turned back to face him.

“General, there is no one in this place. Looks like they've run away," said one of his men.

General Ustanac took one of the photo frames and looked at it carefully until suddenly with his sharp claws he crushed the photo frame until it fell apart. He seemed annoyed because he couldn't find Margareth and Elron.

"Where are you guys going to run?" he said angrily.
