The pleasantries didn't last long.
"The gods are good to us on this voyage. They had allowed us to meet the healer" the leader of the canoe, known as Baruk, declared.
" Agree. Agree" the rest of the tribesmen said in unison. Their words have given Xhemin a sense of warm welcome yet she was still afraid for the fact that they had been branded as the most hostile tribe in the world.
"The healer is a young girl with a brilliant mind" one of tribesmen commented, he perhaps was the oldest person in the group, having nothing on his head but its baldness and a white long beard that had been braided down his chin. "Interesting"
"Xhem, this is Iloi Apo" Professor Owens introduced." He is one of the most respected elders in the island.
"Iloi Apo?" Xhemin repeated the name as a question. She thought the name was quite ridiculous but never dared to mock it. She don't want to add another slip ups to her previous act of spying, that would be the most dumb thing to do at the moment.
