Mildor got up in the tree with Aegnith and was holding her close, feeling her tremble within his arms. He decided to wait up in the tree, not wanting to get caught again by the beast on their way home. He trusted that a squad was coming for them.

The parents of Mildor and Aegnith were indeed warned, and their father went out with the squad, searching for his children. When Mildor saw him, he called out, "Father!" 

His father would come rushing and first help Mildor down, and then Aegnith, holding her as he felt her tremble. "It's alright, dear. Daddy's here." She clung to him, just a bit shocked from the sight of such a ferocious creature.
