Nobody was as shook as I was when Shownu showed up to dinner without Fai. Everyone else was too busy eating to notice when she finally strolled through in a completely different shirt, RM slowly coming in after her. My eyes were the first she found, and she knew she fucked up when she realized I figured out what happened.

She half walked, half ran over to me with her hands held out for me to wait. "I can explain-"

I pressed my lips together to keep from laughing at her panic stricken face. "Dude, chill out. I'm happy you guys are okay now." She relaxed, letting her hands down. "I just feel left out now."

She chuckled, dragging me towards the food table where she filled me in on what went down while she filled up 2 plates. My jaw dropped hearing how the situation got ... steamy. "What the fuck?!"

She hissed a silent shush at me, nudging me towards an empty table where we sat. "Announce it to the world now would you?"

I shrunk in embarrassment, my voice now a whisper. "My bad bitch, it was just unexpected!"

She shook her head, digging into her first plate. "We have more pressing issues. I had a scary dream." She goes on to tell me of the nightmare that had her out of bed early in the morning, and just hearing it had goosebumps going up my back. Especially the part where the girl felt familiar to her but she had no idea who she was.

"What do you think?" She asked at the end of her rant.

"I think you should just sleep it off, and if it happens again we'll figure something out." I suggested, cuz honestly I didn't know what the fuck to make of it either.

Before she could reply Rita rudely squeezed her skinny ass between our chairs, suspicion on her face as she looked back and forth between us. "What are y'all over here congregating about?"

Fai rolled her eyes, letting her in her head. Or at least that's what I assumed since Rita gasped so loud I nearly dropped a piece of my fa'ausi.

"What is it?" Lila strode over, alarmed.

Rita turned to her, no doubt projecting it like the excited messenger she was. Lila blushed, covering her mouth. "Oh. Wow."

"Yeah he really made it up to her." Rita smirked.

"May we join for a word?" Nunu stood a respectful distance away, the other 3 slightly behind him.

"Certainly." Lila bowed, her and Rita scurrying to sit beside us. They walked over to sit across us before Fanua spoke first. "We have word from our intel that Sina's forces are brewing something they expect to happen very soon. They say we have around 2 weeks before she has enough strength to finish the ritual that will surely kill Ariah."

We tensed at our sisters name and the word kill being in the same sentence. Never have we ever considered any of us would die this way, we always thought it would be because of old age.

"Then let's get to work, make a plan and train to our fullest potential." Lila was the first to snap out of it.

Nunu gave a small smile, "Alright. We will begin planning tomorrow morning, you will meet with us while the rest of the youth train. Does this require the audience of the men from your group?"
