He opened the interface of the platinum pendant to the moonlight of the cold night, and the pendant clicked apart, and inside the lid was a delicate miniature portrait of a calm and elegant beautiful woman, dressed in a white dress, with a lion's head on her left shoulder, bound to her chest with a silver chain. She had the same fluffy blonde hair and blue eyes as Hyde, and a faint melancholy came out of her expression. She was holding a baby in her arms, which was about the newborn Hyde.

On the lower lid of the pendant, there is a strand of curly golden hair, tied with a red teardrop-shaped gemstone, fixed to the bottom of the white gold box and glittering. The hair and gems seemed to have a magical effect on Hyde, exuding an incomparable intimacy, as if a mother had returned to her child.

Hyde couldn't help but run his fingers over the bundle of hair and gems. As his fingers touched the gem, he felt that the gem seemed to leap like life, and the hair was so warm and soft, as if he felt the warmth of a mother's body. It may have been dreamlike, but it was something that Hyde really felt from his heart, and it reminded him of the words of old Loren;

"Here is her great love for you, and her deep affection for you! Seeing this, you will surely be able to recall your past, and recall your mother's true love and affection!" the voice echoed in Hyde's heart, which made his heart flow with sorrow and emotion, and his eyes gradually became hazy. The portrait in front of him, the gems, and the golden curly hair, the warm feeling, seemed to fly together, spread out, and cover everything...... Take him to the memories of this life, to the mother's side......

The dark sky, the dark woods, many strange branches stretched out to the sky like the claws of the devil, swaying in the wind, making strange sounds. In the darkness of the woods, there were many sinister lights, flashing around, were they the eyes of the devil, or were they the eyes of beasts? There was a low roar in the distance, where was this? Why am I here?

He felt so lonely, so helpless, so afraid, he wanted to run, he wanted to shout, but all that came out of his throat was a cry of helplessness! He stretched out his hand, it was a pair of small, weak little hands, like a toddler or two, what weapon he wanted to find, but he only touched the cold dirt and grass! Why was he so small? Who was he? Hyde asked himself in confusion.

Fear was like a magic web, tightening his heart from all sides, between darkness and drowsiness, as if countless ghosts were approaching him. In the dark, it seemed that many strange monsters were smiling and roaring, about to devour him and tear him apart, and he couldn't tell whether it was a dream or a reality.

He sat in the darkness and fear of the forest, crying helplessly. He wished that the people closest to him would appear beside him, but he couldn't call out his name, only a vague whimper, as if the darkness had swallowed up all his wisdom and memories. After a long time, he finally shouted the word "Mommy!", the only word he remembered, and he repeated it as hard as he could, crying, his childish voice echoing under the dark night sky.

His voice was not answered, but an uninvited guest approached him, what seemed to be a beast, and what seemed to be a man, with its crooked horns, its hooves like that of a cow and sheep, and its face like a beast, but it was advancing upright. In their hands were wooden spears and axes, the skeletons of men and beasts hung on their chests, the green ferocious fire flashed in their eyes, and their foul and hot mouths emitted animal-like and human-like voices---- "Gore!"

The beasts, half-beasts, half-men, slowly surrounded him, their spears and axes pointed at him, leaping and roaring, as if they were celebrating something! Their mouths showed sharp, misaligned teeth, and their long, curled tongues writhed around their ugly lips, dripping with slime and heat, like the demons of hell. He was so scared that he stopped crying.

Suddenly a low wolf howl interrupted all this, dozens of gray-white shadows, jumping, roaring, lightning through the woods, fiercely pounced on this group of half-beast, half-human strange beasts, one of the nearest sheep-horned beasts near Hyde was knocked down at once, his spear broke and landed beside Hyde, the gray shadow stepped on its chest, devouring flesh and blood, and then looked up at Hyde----- it turned out to be a huge white wolf, with blue eyes, dagger-like teeth, and a long gray mane, but strangely, this made Hyde feel a faint sense of security?What's going on?

The battle between the wolves and the half-man, half-beast, like a fire that boils the forest, roars, wolf howls, bites, and screams rise and fall around Hyde. One moment the spear of the half-beast pierced the body of the white wolf, and the other time it was the white wolf's wolf teeth that tore open the throat of the half-beast, some of the fur was stained with blood, and some of the intestines were pulled out, but the madness of the battle did not change at all!

After a few minutes of confusion, the half-humans, half-beasts with twisted horns gradually gained the upper hand with their numbers, as well as their weapons. They gathered together, shielded their bodies with wooden shields, stabbed and slashed with spears and axes, and with each attack, they shouted "Gore, Gore!" with a strange and poignant voice that chilled inwardly.

Under this fierce attack, the wolves gradually decreased one by one, but before each wolf fell, at least one or several half-beasts' throats or bellies had to be torn open, and some wolf heads had been cut off, but they still bit the throats of the half-beasts. These white wolves fought so frantically, and none of them fled, it seemed that they were not normal creatures at all, but more like an army of organized berserkers, as if they harbored an indescribable hatred for the half-beasts.

But madness could not change the difference in strength, and a moment later, the last huge white wolf howled wildly, and fell among the blood-stained grass with five or six broken spears, its steaming blood splashed on Hyde's cheeks, which made Hyde cry out loud in fear.

"Gore, Gore, horns and hooves, the lodge of strength! Gore will kill everything! for the gods............ Gore's Sacrifice!" An eerie, muffled voice rang out from behind the half-humans, half-beasts. At this sound, the half-humans, half-beasts all lowered their heads, quickly branched out of their paths, and a figure half taller than them slowly walked out of the darkness and approached the young Hyde.

It was a sheep-headed monster with huge curly horns, twice as large as the average half-beast, but only one, the other broken from its roots. His head resembles both a sheep and a human, in fact, it is much more human-like than the average half-beast. Its face was covered with strange patterns and scars, and tattered chain mail, bone fragments, leather armor, and bones were all chaotically tied to its body, forming a strange armor. A long string of skeletons, some with withered skin and hair, hung from its chest, glowing with phosphorescence, and in its hand held a double-edged axe studded with horns, with dried blood and eight-pointed star lines.

The troll roared, brandishing a great axe, and came to Hyde. It lowered its head and stared at the white, tender and young creature no taller than its calf, and a cruel smile gradually appeared on the beast's face.

"Gore, good sacrifice, little wolf cub, sweet blood, ...... for the gods" It raised the great axe, and Hyde could feel the smell of blood and the chill on the axe, which made his little body instinctively shrink into a ball, and he saw the great axe slowly approaching him, and the incomparable terror seized his heart, and he cried out loudly with all his strength, and called out!

"Mommy, Mommy!Mommy!" The sharp, helpless voice echoed through the night sky, through the forest, for a long time! Yes, who could hear it? Where is Mommy? Where is Mommy? I can't see Mommy, I only see the bloody giant axe, a little closer, closer!

At this moment, a cold flash of lightning flew from a distance, directly hitting the eye of the unicorn leader, and the sheep-headed giant monster howled miserably, covered its eyes and fell to the ground, and the big axe also fell aside. This threw the entire group of orcs into confusion, howling in confusion and swinging their spears and axes as if they had knocked over a hornet's nest.

With the cold light came a golden figure, the figure of a huge golden lion! clad in silver armor, it roared and unstoppably split through the array of half-beasts. The broken horns and torn beast heads flew everywhere under its giant claws, and in an instant, they made a bloody path and came to the stunned Hyde. A slender and graceful figure leaped lightly from the lion's back, picked up Hyde, and pressed it tightly to her towering chest.

"My dear darling, poor darling! You're finally able to call Mommy, Mommy really ...... More than anything else!Ah, my poor darling, not hurt!" She called out to Hyde in a loud voice, and landed warm kisses on Hyde's cheeks one after the other, and hot tears welled up from her eyes like two streams.

"Ah! That cruel man actually abandoned you so ruthlessly! In his body, there is a cold wolf heart! What bastard Midland's customs and rules! This ugly custom is as cold as Midland's winter! As merciless! My darling, anyone can give up on you, but Mommy will never give up on you! You will always be Mommy's loveliest baby! Let's go home! Go back to our own home, back to warm Tyril, back to our lovely city of Tubaro! Say goodbye to this cold place!"

The owner of this voice was a beautiful woman with a slender figure, about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, her golden hair was tied into a fluffy ponytail with a large red bow and silver chain, and her soft melon seed face had an expression mixed with anger and joy, and tears rolled in her big blue eyes.

------------------ memories of sixteen years ago gradually unfolded, just when the abandoned Hyde was in danger, Hyde's mother, Princess --- Anna, rode the war lion into the chaos beastmen and rescued the two-year-old Hyde, but what will happen to them in the face of so many enemies?
