.:Part 2:.
It's a beautiful day outside in the forest, the warm light from the sun shines through the branches and leaves, the chirping and tweeting sounds of the birds flowing through ears like a symphony from the wild creatures and the rustling sounds from the dried leaves beneath their feet as they follow the same old path through the forest and enter into the village...
"See you again this afternoon" both Quill and Will waved at each other as they were about to walk to different ways and start on their job as usual.
After entering his same old little cottage where he uses to help other sick villagers, Quill dropped his bag full of medicaments down on his desk and goes for a broom and sweeping all the dust away, then suddenly he heard the doorbell rang, followed by an old man walking in
"Good morning!" Quill greeted with a smile, this old man was one of his frequenters, he's living with his wife who often gets sick because of the unusual weather of this place so he always seeking help from Quill and because of the conditions of this poor old man's family, there's no doubt that Quill wouldn't be hesitated to help him.
"Good morning to you too, Quill" The old man smiled to greet him back.
"Is there anything I can help you? How's your wife?" Quill asked before the old man can tell him the reason why he's here
"Just come over for some medicines and my wife's health has been better, thanks to you, Quill... You've done so much for us, I can't thank you enough, if only we can do anything for you..."
"Oh, it's fine, I don't need anything in return honestly, I'm just glad that I can help you two, that's all" The green haired man throws his hand up and waved with a smile and as he suddenly remembers, Quill dropped the broom with a thud and ran over to the drawer to his desk to find something then hand the old man a small bottle "Here you go, a bottle of medicines, twice a day after meal, doctor's order!"
The old man takes the bottle and put it in his pocket
"Thank you, Quill. This town can't ever get through without your help. God bless you and your brothers, have a nice day." The old man slightly bows and leave the cottage.
"Have a nice day to you too!" Quill waved him goodbye.

The sun started to get down to the mountains, leaving its sunshine began to fade away. It was time for the two brothers to come home after a busy day.
After locking the door carefully, Quill takes his walk to the small grocery shop where Will works to take him home.
Quill waved at his brother upon seeing him cleaning up the booth
"Hey, Will! Ready to head home?"
"A-Alright, I'm done, let's go..." Will smiled meekly at his elder brother after locked up the shop's door.
The two brothers walk along the road back to their cottage while chatting with each other on the way. Quill holding the oil lamp tightly in his hand, just to make sure the light is still bright enough to see the road in front of them. Different from the other day, they can't see the moonlight tonight, only darkness and sometimes they could hear the sounds of the small wild animals inside the bushes. Will was scared as usual so Quill tried to bring up any subjects he could to calm his younger brother down. After a while, they finally reached their destination... but something doesn't seem right...
"This is strange, normally Liam would turn on all the lights inside the house... why is it so dark today...?" Quill frowned, he holds the lamp closer to find the doorknob then suddenly realized the door wasn't close as it was supposed to be... Quill and Will looked at each other worriedly...
They opened the door widely, only to find the house was empty, no sign of their youngest brother presence.
"Liam! Are you home?!"
No response, only silence.
Suddenly Will pulls his elder brother's shirt slightly, causing Quill to look down to where he's staring at...
It was Liam's necklace... it was for the safety of his own self, and now he's gone without it...
