66 Sacrifice for time

Sprinting through the dark forest, he was hurrying away from the Castle and her presence. He needed some time to clear his mind, thus to divert his attention he decided to find that man with whom he had talked earlier. He remembered the way to his small tree house thus he was headed towards its direction without having to look out for the way. 

He reached his destination in no time and remembering the man's last words, he hesitated for a while but knocked on the door nevertheless. Just as his hand came to rest by his side, the door opened as if the man was sitting on it already. 

"I knew you would come again." The man said as he peeked through the little creak and then opened the door fully. 

"I am ready. As you demanded, I will grant your one wish and in return you will show me the way." He said walking in. 

"You made the right choice, my dear." The man chuckled as he straightened the mat for Hellion to sit.
