The mysterious figure confronted them, a blade in hand, and asked, "Who are you people, and how did you get here?"

"We are not bad people," Zero said, his voice tinged with apprehension. Kale and Maia nodded in agreement, showing their fear of the stranger.

Luna, however, recognized the man and exclaimed, "Uncle Lucas!"

Lucas, clearly concerned and somewhat exasperated, inquired, "Luna, who are they, and are you venturing into the outside world again? Didn't I already tell you not to do that?"

Luna, pouting and looking like a scolded puppy, replied, "I'm sorry, Uncle."

Lucas, with a contemplative expression, thought, "He has deer-like ears and looks like a human, but with deer traits. He must be a demi-human."

He then turned his attention back to the trio. "Anyway, who are they?" he asked, his curiosity and concern evident.

"They're not bad people, Uncle. I guarantee it," Luna said, her eyes filled with anxiety as she feared Lucas might reject her plea.

Lucas, however, remained cautious. "Don't trust people so easily, Luna. Get them out of here," he instructed, his voice stern.

Luna, determined and pleading, said, "Uncle, please. They are not bad people. Mother always said to help those in need."

Lucas, showing a soft spot for his niece, sighed. "Fine, if you say so. But if I see them attempting anything that might harm this village, I won't hesitate to kill them."

With Lucas leading the way, the trio followed him into the heart of the village of Seer. The mystical aura of the place was palpable as they crossed intricate bridges connecting houses nestled among the trees. The village thrived in harmony with the mystical forest that surrounded it, with enchanting creatures and a gentle hum of magic in the air.

Lucas guided them into the village, with villagers giving them cautious but friendly glances. The unique charm of Seer became more apparent as they continued their journey.

"Welcome to Seer," Lucas said, his tone softening as they reached the heart of the village. "I am one of the village guardians, Lucas. Luna has vouched for you, and we'll keep an eye on you. Don't forget, if you pose any threat to our village, I won't hesitate to act."

The trio nodded in understanding, acknowledging the seriousness of his warning. Their primary goal was to rest and gain strength in this mystical village, as well as to learn more about the cultists who had destroyed their own home.

Luna, excited to have new friends, led them to a cozy treehouse where they could rest. "You can stay here for now," she said, her eyes filled with cheer.

As Zero, Kale, and Maia settled into the treehouse, they couldn't help but notice the unique appearances of the villagers, many of whom shared the same deer-like features as Luna and Lucas. Their almond-shaped eyes, delicate deer-like ears, and unique appearances created a sense of unity within the community.

The villagers curiously observed the newcomers, with a mixture of intrigue and caution in their expressions. They exchanged whispers and thoughts about the trio, discussing their unusual appearance.

"These people look so different from us. Do you think they're from the outside world?" one villager wondered, eyeing the newcomers with curiosity.

Another villager, a bit more cautious, replied, "Luna and Lucas seem to trust them, but we should still keep an eye on them. We can't be too careful."

Luna, filled with innocence and enthusiasm, introduced her friends to the villagers. "These are my new friends! They're good people, I promise!"

Maia, somewhat overwhelmed by the attention, leaned over to Zero and whispered, "This place is like a fairy tale. I've never seen anything like it."

Zero nodded in agreement, his eyes wide with wonder. "It's incredible. But we must remember why we came here—to rest and gain strength. And maybe, just maybe, find a way to avenge our village."

Kale, who had been silently listening to the villagers' discussions, couldn't help but agree. Their journey had taken an unexpected turn, but the answers they sought might lie within the mystical village of Seer.
