The tortoise woman handed Sama a piece of small metal. It looks like a missing part of something.
"What is this?" Sama asked while examining the metal piece.
"There is a small opening on the backside of the stopwatch, place this there to make it complete." The tortoise woman said.
"Why?" Sama questioned.
"You will know after placing it" the woman said.
"Ok," Sama smiled.
"Why is he a "master", who is he?" Sama asked.
"He is the master of therianthropy hunters. He is the controller of all therianthropy hunters." She replied.
"Then, the man earlier, Kaiden, why did he fight with him" Sama asked.
"They were once friends. But some misunderstandings made them apart" the tortoise woman said.
"What happened" Sama asked.
"Kaiden is the son of Lord, Lord cherishes Kaiden and Master Ryan equally. Kaiden was ok with that in the past. But after some clashes he turned against Master Ryan and hates his father for loving Master Ryan." The tortoise woman explained.
"Kaiden hates that Master Ryan is more powerful than him" she said.
"What happened between them?" Sama asked.
"As far as I know, it is because of a girl" the tortoise woman said.
"Girl!? Who is she?" Sama asked curiously.
"I don't know the details. I think you can ask master Ryan about this" the tortoise woman said.
"Will he even answer" Sama said.
"Maybe you can give it a try" the woman said.
"Anyways I am not interested in his matters, I don't want to know anything." Sama said.
Even though Sama said that she was very curious to know about the girl.
"Master is waiting for us for a long time. We should return." The tortoise woman said.
"Yeah, yes" Sama said.
They came out of the temple.
Ryan was looking at the sky.
Sama saw Ryan and smiled unknowingly. She felt the scene very familiar. She felt like Déjà vu.
She felt like she saw Ryan many times like that.
The tortoise woman noticed Sama and said
"You said you like this place a lot right".
"Yes, I really love it" Sama replied.
"Then why don't you pay a visit here sometimes" the tortoise woman said.
"I would love to. But where is this place. How can I visit you." Sama asked.
"You can ask master to take you here whenever you want." The tortoise woman replied.
"How can I ask him? I don't know anything about him." Sama said.
"You don't need to know anything freshly about him. You already know him very well." The tortoise woman said.
"I know him? I never talked to him before." Sama replied.
"You know what, only you know him better than anyone in this world." The tortoise woman said.
"I do feel safe and familiar with him, but I don't think I know him that well" Sama said thinking.
They reached Ryan while walking slowly and chatting with each other.
"Master" the tortoise woman called Ryan.
Ryan turned back.
The tortoise woman bowed to Ryan.
Ryan bowed with head showing respect.
"Where do you live?" Ryan asked Sama.
"Show me the road to village, I can leave by myself" Sama said.
Ryan said pointing to a road
"That's the way. Walk straight for 1000 kilometres, then you will reach the village. You can leave now." Ryan said.
"But it felt short when Kaiden took me here." Sama said.
"Then ask Kaiden to drop you off" Ryan said.
Sama felt helpless.
"Can you take me there" she asked Ryan politely.
"You were so rude to me when we met first time. Now you are acting all politely for help" Ryan said smiling.
"Holding grudges like humans" she murmured rolling her eyes.
"I can hear you" Ryan said.
"Then help me please" Sama asked.
