175  The Path To Redemption

Anwir, who was still inside the underground prison, raised his head upon hearing the footsteps drawing nearer in his direction.

'He's back again,' Anwir thought. 'He really is persistent.'

Whenever Zion visited him, the human boy would talk about random things. He never mentioned anything about Anwir becoming his slave or freeing him from the prison.

The boy didn't try to entice him with other proposals and simply kept him company for an hour before leaving again.

He was also the one who brought Anwir's food on a daily basis, not allowing anyone to come near the prison aside from him.

In time, Anwir started to look forward to his company because he was the only one he could talk to.

Whenever the seven-year-old wasn't around, Anwir would be surrounded by nothing but darkness. 

There was no light source in the prison, and only when Thirteen visited would he see a torchlight that illuminated his surroundings.
