"Master priestess, have you discussed the matter with Abu?", the leader of the elders asked.
Sika's brow had been locked in a serious, straight line. Hearing the elder's inquiry, her brow relaxed and she answered with a smile, "The village chief has one good trait about him; he knows gratitude. Without Saleen around, do you have any idea how many would have starved to death? Do you think you would have had a chance to argue here?"
The person named Abu was the chief of Sika's village. When a new chief was appointed, he would become an elder himself.
