In the shelter, Huna woke up to drink water few minutes after Lav woke up, then she noticed he and Kartra's absence. She started imagining a lot of things for instance.
Kartra and Lav are in the forest, standing close to each other, with their hands locked.
Kartra: I love you Lav
Lav: I promise you today beauty under these two moons that I'll love you forever, and you and I will become Ceb and San.
Kartra: And Huna would forever live a mysterious life (looks at no one exactly and smirks.)
Lav: Shall we kiss?
Kartra: Yes Lav
(They move their lips closer and start kissing, while Lav moves his hand all over Kartra's body.)
"No, that can't happen. " She snapped her self out. She immediately went outside the the shelter and sighted Lav talking with Kartra.
"Lav, I'm Lav." He said to Kartra as he brought his hand forward for a handshake
"I'm Kartra." She said as they shook hands.
"Kartra Onjilo?" He asked.
"Yeah." She answered bluntly.
"And where are you from?" He asked her.
"Well..... I'm from wait for it." Kartra finally looked at his direction and smiled.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!" Huna screamed, pretending to have tripped on something.
"What happened to her?" Kartra asked as she stood of from the rock and ran to Huna, while Lav walked confidently with his normal straight face.
"Are you okay?" Kartra asked Huna, who noticed Lav was coming.
"Uhn?" Kartra asked again since Huna did not reply.
"Leave her alone, she's heading to Shumdi to train and represent Frinla against Atani, she'd be fine." He said coldly and walked to the shelter.
"Ahn okay." Kartra answered and left, not without screaming good night to Huna, who had a mixed feeling of relieve and anger.
"That was the longest statement he made to me, and that was it." She thought as she stood up and went to the shelter.
It was sunrise as already, the second sunrise they met since their journey to Shumdi. Everyone had woken up except Hin, Huna could not sleep throughout the night, imagine having imagining something terrible, and damn it's stuck in your head, that was the condition Huna was in. What if Kartra and Lav left again? What if they actually kiss? What if they even mate? All this kept roaming in her head and boom it was sunrise already.
"The amorkas are ready." Kartra said to Lav, while Huna was getting ready in the shelter
"Hey Huna, ask your sleepy brother to wake up." Lav said to her from outside.
"Sure Lav." Huna said in haste. Kartra and Lav were already together outside, she started imagining bad thoughts.
"Hmmmmm girl." She called Kartra.
"It's Kartra." Kartra answered.
"I need your help with something." She lied as Kartra came inside.
"Please wake Hin up, my dress is stuck." She said to Kartra, who agreed and did as she was told.
"Wake up Hin." She hit his leg.
"Leave me alone mom." Hin muttered which made Kartra chuckle, which made him open his eye.
"It's you." He said as he sat up immediately.
"The sun has risen already, let's move." Kartra said to Hin who was feeling a little embarrassed.
"Sure." He managed to say.
Soon they all get ready, and their journey to Shumdi continued. This time, Kartra and Huna were on one amorka, while Lav and Hin were on the other.
The journey was a little boring, so Kartra decided to add a little spice, which the result made Huna so mad.
"Ceb cold face." She said to Lav who was focused on riding the amorka.
"It's Lav." He answered plainly.
"Oh c'mon your face is always cold." She said to him, while Huna was slowly boiling in anger, then she yelled "focus on riding" to Kartra, who just ignored her.
"We heading to Kytirl right?" She asked him.
"Shumdi." He answered her.
"Fool, we get to Kytirl before Shumdi right?" She said, while Huna's anger rose.
"Yes Kartra." Hin answered.
"Thanks handsome." She thanked Hin, who could not help but blush.
"Why don't we race?" She asked Lav who smirked. He was not the only one with that expression, Huna also had it on her face.
She was so sure that Lav was going to reject that offer, he had always been mature and was very interested in games like that. Kartra would finally be put to her place.
"Nah, I'm not interested in child's play." Lav answered, which made Huna smile, "but I'll accept if you teach me all you know how about trees." He added.
"Typical Frinlan." Kartra smiled.
"No Cebronian." Lav cooed, and immediately her smile washed off.
"Deal." She answered....." You're still Frinlan though." She added.
"Sure." He cooed.
"Should we start this race already? Kytirl is already becoming visible." He said to her, then she nodded. All that was in her mind was she was helped by a Cebronian, was Destiny speaking with her? Should she tell him that she is from Celic?
