Inside a tree. A forest.        "Woah."    Was only the thing Prium could say. She seemed to had allowed her ego to be crushed by the odds. Her indifferent side had been smothered by the view before her. The waves of the change were too ferocious for her pride to withstand. It didn't stand a chance of survival.     Both Prium and Vulcan were standing by the door of the room, backing it. Ayla had taken few steps forward and was already in the heart of the room.     "Is this really inside a tree?"    Prium made a question of her awe. She obviously couldn't help being quiet anymore. She wasn't sure to whom she had directed the question.      "I guess only a Nymph holds an answer to that."    Vulcan seemed to find his words at last. Though he hoped that that new environment would make a friend of both

         In the village.       "Go away, you unfortunate rompers. Unleashed Urchins."    Ataola cussed, shooing the two young girls away. The girls looked somewhat 12 years old. And that would be like the hundredth time he had cussed them. At least to get rid of them.     "Go again, Mira."      The slender girl with locks of hair reaching from both sides of her head urged the robust counterpart.      Then the robust one who had been urged, hurried towards Ataola again, rolling like a heavy ball through the earth. Her round legs kicking up dust as she went through the plan till she got to some of the utensils. She squatted at once and swept few of the pans into her round arms and threw them into the air. A sequence of clatter.      Ataola hurried to the robust girl before she could stand up. He held her in the lef

    The Next-day. The village.      "Good day, mma."    The man dressed in a simple black robe with a small sword tucked in his side called at the middle aged woman washing clothes opposite the lone hut.     As soon as the woman raised her head, her face contoured into confusion as soon as he saw the man. She made her worries known through words,    "Oh Miargos? I should had sent for you. She's not here."    The woman said as she stopped washing. She sat up on the stool, looking towards the man standing few steps away from the door to the hut. She was by the side of the front of the hut to the left.       She continued,     "She went rogue immediately she lost her father. Your wedding with Prium is no longer a thing. I'm sorry that I gave you my words."     There was concern in her face but the fellow was

      The same day. Tahni and her mother's hut.      "You're the only one who would be believed. You should see what I'm trying to say. Don't think me stupid or drunk or crazy. If I were all above, I have my father to heal me."    Tahni inspected the annoying Miargos who would not stop disturbing her about seeing her father and sister.      She stopped the cloth she was weaving and looked towards the only direction which led to their hut through the south.   "I don't think you're stupid, drunk or crazy. I know you're stupid, drunk and crazy. And you won't see that until I boil you in hot oil."   Miargos shook his head in frustration. He was standing before Tahni who was seated on a stool and spent in her weaving invention.     Of course he sure was thinking about how to make her see his point. How to convince her that he wasn't crazy or under

        Inside the tree.      "We'll have to think about better plots."    Ayla advised as they sat under the shade of a tree, on a wooden bench, which was few metres away from the house. That was the new form of their home in the tree.     Vulcan was seated in the middle of the two ladies. That was the only way to ensure a sane conversation amongst them. Else they would lose the time to irrelevant strays and unnecessary arguments.      "But we succeeded with the one we already have. Two out of three isn't bad. Is it?"    Prium shot at Ayla. Vulcan didn't know who to look at at that moment. He wanted to catch the expression on the faces of the two of them at the same time.       "It's quite different now? You don't know how intense things are becoming."      Ayla hurled at her again. Prium didn't let that d
