He wanted her to pat him, as if he had found his long lost owner. Adrianna laughed at him as she patted. "Mun, have you lost your way?" Mun was jumping around her in joy playing with her by throwing himself over her and leaned his face in every nook and corner of her body. "Stop it Mun," Adrianna kept laughing at his gesture of love. He was very quiet and maintained his distance when she last saw him.

Mun stopped jumping around her and then knelt on the ground. He nudged her. "Sit on me," he said. Adrianna gaped as she heard him.

​​

"I know you can hear animals Adrianna," he smirked.

"Now sit on me. You have come in the wrong direction. The inn is in the opposite direction."

Adrianna was speechless. She had tolerated a blizzard and so many hardships only to come in the wrong direction! She was confused.

"Why are you going in the wrong direction?" he asked, as he once again nudged her.

Adrianna closed her mouth with her hands. Lile had sent her on a wild goose chase.

"How come you are here Mun?" she asked, shocked at Lile. She climbed onto him.

Mun started walking. "You were supposed to be near the inn. When you didn't come until noon, we thought you have lost your way, so I was sent to fetch you. It is already so late. The sun will go down in a few hours."

"How did you find me?"

"Adrianna, this is my home. I know every nook and corner over here. Finding you was difficult, and it took me a few hours to find you."

"I heard that the inn is surrounded by magical spell. No one can enter it…"

"Nothing is magic for me. Rather, magic is not for me," replied Mun in a nonchalant way as though Adrianna was a novice.

Adrianna was getting more and more intrigued about Mun. As she sat on him, she found that he was very comfortable. She was feeling very tired and this was a welcome change. She smiled and looked down at her savior.

"Hold tight Adrianna. I will run now. It is going to take an hour to reach the inn considering the fact that it has just snowed and the inn is located at a higher altitude." Saying that Mun broke into a fast trot and then soon after he was running. Adrianna was amazed as to how fast he could run in that snow.

They had been on the move for more than an hour, but she couldn't see the destination anywhere around. The sun had started coming down and Adrianna felt uneasy. Her body broke into a sweat. "Mun, how far?"

"Maybe half an hour…"

"I am not feeling well…"

"Hold on Adrianna. Just focus on me. Talk to me."

Adrianna looked at him as her eyes became bleary. "Why did Lile send me in the opposite direction?" she asked feeling dizzy, not knowing what she was talking about.

"Lile is a corrupt girl. Don't be her friend now. She is not dangerous but she is vicious and she will settle scores with you if you don't do as she wishes."

"How do you know Mun?" asked Adrianna feeling uncomfortable.

"I know everything Adrianna…"

Adrianna was feeling so heated up that she wanted to take the fur jacket out. "I want to remove my clothes Mun…"

"Only a few minutes Adrianna," said Mun as he fastened his speed.

Adrianna couldn't see things clearly around her. She wondered whether that was because of her bleary vision or because of the high speed Mun was running at. She saw around her. The trees looked darker, as the dusk came. The moon had started rising in the horizon. Her insides were all tangled up. She remembered her dream. She focused on her mother, the moon goddess. But her self control was diminishing.

"Mun…"

"Adrianna look at me! We are near the cave entrance. As soon as you dismount me, run to the cave entrance. Can you see it?" he asked almost shouting at her.

Adrianna opened her eyes and she could see that Dmitri was standing there waiting for her. Adrianna smiled at him through her confusion. She didn't know what she was doing, as the bleariness increased and her body reacted as though it would blow up into a thousand pieces.

"Get down!" shouted Mun.

The moon was now looming in the horizon.

Adrianna got down on his instructions. Dazed, somehow reached Dmitri. She smiled as she extended her hand to Dmitri who held it fast and pulled her inside the cave. She noticed that Fleur was also there. Without Fleur, Dmitri couldn't have come.

Dmitri pulled the cover of the cave entrance to close it and dragged Adrianna further down the steps. He wanted her to go near the floor of the cave so that she wouldn't be able to get out.

Adrianna felt being dragged and then she growled.
