Kioh stood on the edge of camp, assigned the duty to look out for Red Sun's return to the area. He watched the woods but saw nothing; only trees and other plants. His eyes shifted around, to look for other routes Red Sun could return from, and he set his sight back on the path he watched. There were no footsteps he could hear coming toward the camp, and the woods were practically silent. Paila was asleep, and Laia was speaking with Orisun. There were two tents on the camp site: one contained Laia and Orisun's double-bedroll and the other held the bedrolls of Kioh, Red Sun and Paila. In their tent, Laia and Orisun lied beside each other. "Alr

Orisun and Laia sat beside each other, each holding a dish of the wild squirrel and plant mash-up. Laia's eye twitched at the food. She held the chopsticks that Paila had crafted a good distance away from the meal, and glared at it. "Laia," she heard, looking at Orisun. Orisun sighed and picked up a piece of squirrel in her chopsticks. "You have to eat, you know. You won't get so strong if you don't eat." Laia was taken aback. She pouted and raised her shoulders. "Eating squirrel is a bit weird, though. No elk or goat?" "Come on, Laia," Orisun told her. "You know it's not a sick squirrel because Red Sun cured it of anything it might have h

When Paila finished sharpening her sword, she wandered into the woods to hunt for meat. She heard rustling, and looked overhead just before three white-clad men jumped down, each with daggers in their hands. She gripped her sword tightly by the hilt, and held her sheath in the opposite hand. When one of the men attempted to send a blow to her head with his dagger, she blocked his attack using her sheath. Another of them tried an attack from the right, which she blocked by sword. With a dagger pressing against both her sword and her sheath, and both arms in use, she saw the third man running toward her in a direct forward line. She gritted her

Laia stared at the thin birch tree in front of her, and then to the blonde Elve girl beside her. The other girl was in front of a similar silver birch. The Elve lifted her left leg, bringing up her bandaged ankle, leaned his weight to her right and bent the knee, before straightening out her left left leg and crashing the groove of the tilted sole of her foot into the birch tree's thin stalk. Instantly, the tree was broken, and fell down to the floor. "Now you try it," said the girl with a smile. "I'm sure you can do it, you're quite strong," she told Laia. Laia took a deep breath and focused. She mimicked the movements of the other girl, a
