Few days later. On a surface water. "What's that coming, Father?"Tahni asked standing at the edge of the stretched and borderless wooden balcony. She turned to face her father who was seated on a acacia chair before the wooden hut seating on the surface water, half way into the breadth of the large lake. According to Ayla who had situated their new dwelling place on the water, they wouldn't be scene by any mortal. Even a boat plying the water wouldn't see them. Only that when the boat gets to the portion of their building on the water, twouldnt be able to pass through. Twould feel a barrier but wouldn't see what it was. "You don't have to bother yourself. Whatever it is would come to light sooner or later."She heard her father say, yet she wasn't satisfied. She didn't know why not. She could smell quite the numbers of omens in the air. She didn't know when she began to have spiritual traits. Abilities to discern st

   In the land. "Woah."Tahni gasped looking around at where they found themselves. Twas a path which leads to the market square. "Let's hurry up, else we would miss the motive of being here."Ayla urged and pulled Tahni with her through the path. Her hold on her was soft but pulls strongly. Twas one of those wonders of a Nymph that she probably wouldn't understand. Ayla slackened her place suddenly as they caught up with some group of women walking towards the market too. The group seemed to had been plunged into a wave of gossip. "Keep your ears sideways, but your eyes forward."Ayla urged. Tahni looked at her and nodded her head. They kept their pace at a regular but filtered sequence as they listened to the women converse,"I heard that some men just arrived our land from a place called Aiowa.""I heard that that land has a lot of gold but the sacrifice to get it is too overwhelming.

      Same. "I've got some words to break with you. Meet me outside."Ayla called at Vulcan and walked out of the house. She heard Prium calling at her,"Rude phantom."She didn't care. Prium turned to her father,"Don't tell me you'll just go to her."Vulcan took a glance at her and stood up. He walked out without answering. He heard Prium scorn,"Had no idea that she now orders you around."Vulcan looked back at her, he was standing at the doorstep. He twitched his eyes and shook his head, then he walked out.Ayla was standing at edge of the extended base of the building. The whooshing wind danced in glee across the lips of the lapping water. "What's this about?"Vulcan stood beside her. Looking away from that place to the end of the water opposite him. From distance, he could count the numbers of granite stones being washed by the excitement of the flowing water. T

   The hut on the lips of water. "What is it?"Vulcan asked hurrying after Ayla who had just walked out of the house. Her round cum pretty face had stiffened in concern and jealousy though Vulcan couldn't place it in the first place. "A war is going on in the land now."She said sternly looking to the shore of the lake. Her back to him as he caught up with her. "I don't think that's all. Since when did you start to be concerned about the war of the land. Aren't I your concern?"Then he stopped talking for a while, trying to read her expression. He hadn't seen her that way ever. He hated to think that probably Prium had spread her dark qualities on his precious Ayla. That couldn't be right. Then suddenly, something popped into his mind. It could only be that. He touched her left arm and spun her to face him,"Is Athena here? Is she? Tell me."Ayla stared at him for a while, her dark eyeba

    On a road. "It's feels good now. Don't you think?"Tahni said looking at the path up ahead of them. Ayla made a sound in her throttle and nodded her head without saying a thing. The both of them were walking back to their former house. Yes! Former. The return of Athena had changed everything. And now they wouldn't have to live in hide anymore. Therefore, they had been sent by the King and Queen to go fetch their sister, Prium. None of them could really explain why Athena was so eager to want to see her. Prium of all people. Tahni felt like when Athena discovers who Prium really was, probably, her interest would change. Or come to think of it, who knows? She might had change due to the magic rain which had made the forest greener and richer. Even on their way, they had seen some new creatures on the trees. Creatures they had never seen before. Tahni looked at Ayla. The latter hadn't see
