Back in Alina, Arad was in the forest cutting trees.
CRACK! One swing of his axe after another, he ripped the trees apart and dropped them to the ground.
Meryem walked toward the trees and lifted them on her shoulder, carrying two at a time and dropping them behind his house where Merida cut them to pieces.
"I think ten is enough," Meryem looked at Arad, waving her hand to signal him to stop cutting. "You think so?" He replied, having already cut two more trees.
"Yeah, this should be enough for more than a few weeks," She smiled, "Bring those two to be cut as well," She took an axe that was sitting beside the fence and went to help Merida chop the trees.
Arad picked up the two extra trees he cut and followed them, "Meryem, you've been getting stronger, didn't you?"
