Part 39

He stood admiring the surrounding environment as the golden rays of the sunset pelted his face. That is when his eyes casted upon his beautiful daughter. Chief Benja was awaiting her and had a serious face the whole time but his expression softened with a smile when he saw her.

"Ahh hello dewdrop." said Chief Benja as he admired Raya.

"Hello Ba." said Raya, giving him a hug.

"How are you doing?"

"I'm great. I really enjoyed today." replied Raya as she glanced at Namaari then the dragons with a smile.

"That is absolutely amazing."

Chief Benja then bowed to the dragons and said, "I'd love to speak with you."

"About the party?!" asked Pranee as she gasped.

"Wait how did you kn-"

"We heard." replied Sisu before Benja finished asking his question.

Benja chuckled and said, "Yes. So we are expecting feedback from Spine and Talon and Tail tomorrow. But I'm highly confident that things will be fine. And in three days we'll have the celebration. I could use your help with the decorations."

The dragons instantly agreed and Sisu said in excitement, "And I have the perfect thing in mind for Raya and Namaari..."

Namaari blushed and said, "And...what's that?"

"Oh you'll see." Sisu smirked at her then said, "Oh...um what's the theme? In terms of colours?"

"Gold and silver with a little touch of red." replied Benja.

"Ba, what'll be my outfit?" asked Raya.

"It's completed but I won't show you until tomorrow. Once we get the other lands being okay with you both. So until then, just keep ideas at your fingertips but nothing is to be done just yet."

"Okay Chief. My siblings and I will fly home now. We'll see you tomorrow."

"Safe flight" replied Chief Benja with a bow. The girls also said their goodbyes to the dragons then went inside to have dinner. While walking, Chief Benja said, "Oh Namaari...I forgot to tell you. Your mother left for Fang earlier along with the other supporters that came for your duel. She wanted your outfit to be underway. But she said she'll return in a day or so."

"Oh alright thanks for informing me Chief."

"Mhm. You two are going to look absolutely incredible."

"Ba! You're making me so nervous!" expressed Raya.

Benja chuckled and said, "Sorry dew drop. But to add to the tension, on the day, you won't see each other until it's time for you to be introduced."

"Ba!" expressed Raya in frustration.

"It's literally a wedding setting." said Namaari.

"A bit. But there's a lot more to come when it's a wedding. Butttt you two are probably hungry and exhausted. Let's have dinner." said Benja.

"Yeah but let me put away these." said Raya as she went to pack away some items from the picnic. 

"Okay dew drop."

Namaari tagged along behind her and said, "I can't wait to be mesmerized by your beauty dep la."

"And I can't wait to lose consciousness because of your radiance."

Namaari laughed and said, "It's going to be an absolutely amazing day. I can feel it. Filled with love and happiness."

"Me too."
