After he got back and administered the medicine to Cortus, he could not return to the forest because Asron would not let him. He couldn’t just disobey him, as he knew he needed their protection.
They didn’t find any humans there, which left him with the option of going with the Drogans back to their village or staying in that city. Of course, after all that’s happened, he chose to stay with Asron and the others. He thought it was the best, since all he could do now was retrace his steps.

You got us worried back there.”The young Drogan was the first to notice him, as he was sitting right next to him.Chris tried to see what was happening, but his eyes were blurry and his throat felt like it was cracking inside from being so dry.Rombus crawled closer so that he could inspect him, bringing along a flask upon noticing those scratching motions he kept on doing.

The guy gives a nod before going out.Herlein then shifted her attention to the human that stood there, secretly smiling at the scene.

Eyes glowing red, ominous grins appearing on their faces upon seeing the few people that were there.Below, the three remained clueless of the beings that were observing them, as they were enthralled by their activities.Asron’s gaze was glued on Chris, focused on making certain that the youngster was properly moving his hips and arms with each movement.“Do not use that power of yours.
