Amaya thought of the moments she spent with Marx back on the island. Marx to her at that time was a friend, her first human friend. She treated him as she did with her animal friends.
However, lately, she started to feel something different. Was it because Marx was so good to her? Her heart started to beat faster every time he would look at her gently. She was confused. She touched the ring that Marx has given her on her birthday. It looked beautiful on her finger.
She sighed. It was not the time to think about it. She has tournaments to attend the following day.

"Grandpa, Father, Big Sis is awesome in archery. Look at how she hit the target." Donello was beaming proudly as he passed his cell phone to the king and the crown prince.
Nelida frowned and threw her son a disapproving look. 'Why is he so smitten by Amaya? He is not hiding the fact that he adored her like she was his idol.'
