                                   The forest opens up in front of them as they ride their horses down the dusty path. They may be selfish for accepting the horses as gifts, but they also have to think about Adhara. She is their only priority now. The nomad camp is placed in the middle of their trip road and if they take it logical they should reach Yarrin Village in two days. But with the help of the horses, the two day journey transformed into a single day. Felix checks again if the Star Stone is stored carefully in his bag. He's been checking on it since they left the camp. They can't lose it again. He can't lose it again. And put their lives in danger. He feels the smooth walking of the stallion beneath him and caresses the horse's neck. "Great job Aramis! Take us home!" He says with a smile on his face. He is thankful to the animal. He knows that Aramis is just fulfilling his purpose in life, serving and obeying humans, but once they get home, Felix will try his best to provide him the best care. He isn't thankful only for the quick and safe trip that the animals provide, but also, because sitting in a saddle it's easier for him to gain back his powers. He lost a great amount of power on the first half of the road. The second half is destined to regain the lost energy and concentrate it in a nucleus that will save Adhara. His power combined with the power of the Star Stone is mind-blowing. Only thinking about it makes him shiver. Hyunjin's voice cuts through his thoughts. "So... Elara. Afterall you have something going on with the clan leader." Elara rolls her eyes, but Felix can observe that she became tensed, her back straightening and her feet becoming rigid in the stirrups. Akasha neighs, confirming Elara's discomfort.

                              Elara brushes a hand through her hair. "I don't have anything going on with Ackon." She gulps as she grabs the reins again, not too tight, leaving Akasha space to move freely. Hyunjin moves his body along with Black Rose's heavy steps and Elara observes a smile appearing on the rider's face. "We are friends now. You don't have to hide behind a finger." Elara scoffs and rolls her eyes as Hyunjin comes closer and nudges her arm with his elbow. "You love him, don't you?" Elara shakes her head lightly. "You're delusional. I've spent a day with him. In a week I won't even remember his name." Hyunjin laughs and whispers. "You would be surprised to hear how many of my past lovers' names I remember." Elara laughs quietly at her brother clearing his throat behind them. "Ackon isn't my lover." Felix comes between them, the path being large enough to fit three horses. "He gave you his necklace. He is clearly head over heels after you. You just don't want to admit it." Elara gazes at Felix briefly. "What about you brother? Why didn't you admit that you loved Hyunjin ever since he put a knife against your throat?" Felix's lips form a line and Elara chuckles. "See? It's not that easy to admit you love someone." Hyunjin's head appears from behind Felix. "So you admit that you love Ackon!" Elara frowns her eyebrows. "I don't love him." Felix shrugs. "But you accepted his necklace." Elara shrugs too. "And you slept with Hyunjin. What's the difference?" She tightens her thighs against Akasha's rib cage and demands her to walk faster.
