About a week later, Leanbow, Udonna, and Bowen went for a walk through one of the nearby villages.
No words were exchanged between the two young parents. They didn't need words to communicate. They communicated in a language all their own—a language that had no words—the language of love.
Leanbow grabbed Udonna's free hand and smiled at the two most important people in his life—his wife and son. He would do whatever it took to keep them safe, especially since Calindor had told him that he wasn't going to continue the training after some incident that had occurred when Udonna and Niella had asked him to watch the kids.
Supposedly, Bowen and Clare had attempted to "kill" Calindor. Leanbow found that hard to believe and accused his former student of lying—which was something a knight never did. Leanbow knew full well what the Knights' Code was—and he lived by it. Since that day, no one had seen or heard from Calindor. For some reason, after Calindor left, Leanbow felt slightly relieved, but for some reason, he hadn't been able to shake the feeling that there was something suspicious about his former student.
Figuring it would go away if he spent time with his family, he decided to take a walk with Udonna and Bowen.
Udonna smiled at her husband and Bowen happily cooed in her arms. Leanbow smiled at their young son. The months flew by and as Leanbow trained Daggeron, Bowen began to learn how to walk.
One day, as Daggeron and Leanbow prepared to rest after a particularly grueling session, Udonna signed to Leanbow to stay a few feet back.
He frowned and watched as she carefully set their young son down. His eyes widened as Bowen carefully walked over to him and Leanbow swiftly snatched up the young child and hugged him. Bowen giggled happily and hugged his father. But, alas, their happiness was not to last, for within a few weeks after taking his first steps, Bowen was taken to the human world and Leanbow died behind the Gates, while Henry died during the battle against the Hidiacs and Niella died sealing the Gates. Daggeron would die in an effort to protect the infant Bowen from the wicked Calindor.
