Mylakena almost recoiled from the man from the touch of his hands upon her face.

He then said to her “I am Krajick, Jerallenar’s father. Welcome my soon to be daughter-in-law Mylakena” he bent his head forward and kissed her forehead while letting his hands slide down to her shoulders.

A ripple of fear ran down Mylakena’s spine “Where is my uncle?” Mylakena asked nervously.

Krajick put his face close to her right ear and said, “Your uncle sold you to this family”

Mylakena instantly reacted and tried to move away from Krajick’s grasp upon her shoulders, but she could feel him tighten his grip and glare into her eyes.

“The condor vultures will tear you apart before you take ten steps and even if you managed to crawl with whatever limbs they leave you with, you will never find your way out of this forest” he said and moved away his face, then smiled at her, showing his teeth.

The metallic nails gently traced her chin and soft neckline.
