"Long story short, I was almost killed in order to send a message to Uncle Rohan, that they would destroy everything close to him for something he had done to them. I fought him off as much as I could, and coincidentally, Uncle Rohan was supposed to come to the port that day. When he saw someone trying to drain my life energy, he killed the man, only for us to discover that he was a light demon in disguise, hunting the Dagons."
Aryen sighed, shaking his head. "Ever since that day, we've been cautious, tracking and monitoring demons before they can reach our family, especially the most vulnerable among us."
Aryen still felt guilty for what he had said about being close to the Dagons, and for confirming to the demons that the person they were looking for was nearby. The port where he worked was closer to Velmere because it was his uncle who had made the connection for him to get the supervising job, where he inspected packages shipped from other lands.
