There is always that one point where a man has to choose on either being himself or agree to be dehumanized for the sake of keeping his head and his honor - Reiki was faced with such difficulties. Lee and I looked on and I was actually silently wishing that it all goes well yet I didn't want Ismail to do something stupid like trying to kill Reiki for that will make me kill him too and then it will all go astray and we would achieve nothing towards the destiny I was told to. We wouldn't free the slaves, I wouldn't find that black sea filled with monsters and nor will I ever be reunited with Leilani, hence there was only one way and that was to remain silent and just observe.
Ismail looked at Shamar who was numb and speechless, her face expressed shock and at the same time objection. He slowly moved closer to Shamar and held her hand.
