He gave them a note before disappearing into the crowd. The note read”
‘Dear Aria and Arian,
Thank you for saving us. Go to the market place tomorrow, to the stall with green and blue
flags, and ask for Milan Flowers. Then, you will have your gift.
The Ex-Slaves of Ajin.’
“Wow,” said Arian. “I can’t believe that Junan went from no slaves then free people, then a
trading port called Ajin, in a matter of minutes.”. They decided to find a place to stay the night,
which proved very easy. The heroes were welcomed and thanked every where they went.
In the morning, they went to the stall. Aria asked the man if he had any Milan Flowers. “Of
course, come over here.” They followed him behind the stall. There, the man gave them two small
bundles. In Aria’s there were some pieces of jade jewelry, and in Arian’s a dagger with a sheath
and belt.
“Aria! Arian! Over here!” It was Heon and Heia, Aria’s parents! “Where have you two been!
Didn’t we tell you not to go!?” Their faces were quite red.
“Hi Mom. Hi Dad. Well what do you know?” replied Aria, not making eye contact.
In the end, Aria and Arian had the worst chores for a week, but got a pat on the back for
freeing the slaves.
After that, the group travelled back to their tribe, and you could say, lived happily ever after,
with a few more adventures. Every year, the Jiruns visit Ajin, and trade their goods that they
have found in the desert. And Juan and his henchmen? They are far far away, in exile.
