Selenes presence did not force an untruthful tongue. She remembered that night vividly every detail and word exchanged. The more she thought of Selenes motives she found herself questioning them. In her mind Selene believed Jaeil had set eyes upon her, her assumption was so far from the truth she couldn’t help but feel it was spoken in place of another. She was alone and unwelcomed and trusted no one……not even Jaeil.

Jaeil had important matters to attend to that did not involve watching over the princess. Since her arrival she managed to cause a grave disturbance within her city. For Ate to defy her command and remain at her side remained a mystery. Never had she seen her show such affection towards another other than her. Gazing upon her frail disposition, to ensure her safety a decision had been made.

“Before the next sun arises gather all belongings and wait for my arrival, “she says before turning away walking towards the door.

“Am I to return home?”

“Home, “she says looking over her shoulder.

“Lesbiannicus?”

“No.” She says before opening the door then closing it shut. Outside the crowd still gathered. Seeing Jaeil walked down the path the expression on her face spoke of her anger. Walking past Selene ignoring her she interrupts conversation between Tulsila and Masina.

“Did she give name, “Tulsila ask.

“She did not.”

“I saw fear in her eyes whoever laid hands upon her did so with intentions to still her life.”

“But why? True, as a people we are not accepting of strangers since her arrival she has posed no harm.”

“Masina my sediments are the same.”

“I am giving you two the task to find who is behind brutish assault and bring them to me alive. Information discovered stays amongst us and no other do you understand?” They both nod their head in agreement.

“Ate come.” Doing as commanded she slowly trout towards Jaeil.

“Jaeil, “Tulsila calls out to her, “The blonde woman who is she?”

Mounting her stallion looking down at them both, “Truth will reveal itself in due course, know if she is harmed again this city will feel my wrath, “she says before riding off.

After dropping her laundry off to her room Tina met Kit at the rear end of the Nephelé compound. As she arrived Kit greeted her with a hug and smile. Holding her hand they walk together until they reach the far end of the corner.
