Yeay people!! New chapter!!!

-----------------------------------------------------------

The atmosphere outside embraced a soothing climate, where gentle winds gracefully carried stray leaves in a slow waltz. One could hardly believe that just yesterday, this serene setting had been touched by a violent tornado. Amid the tranquility, a faint metallic melody resonated from her belt, harmonizing with the determined steps she followed with a sense of uncertainty.

Under the twin moons' ethereal glow, the nocturnal flora bathed in hues of blues and purples. Distant melodies echoed as the wildlife sang in harmonious unison. As they treaded a familiar stone pathway, she realized it wasn't recognition that eluded her; it was the storm that had transformed the landscape into an unfamiliar but enchanting scene.

The temple, now bathed in the warm glow of many torches, seemed transformed. The air was charged with excitement and joy, a stark contrast to the tension of days past. Almost a hundred Aliens filled the space, their festive energy palpable. In one corner, the remaining four humans sat on wooden benches, adorned much like the herself with painted markings and unique sets of jewelry. The dais, once again displaying twelve different flags. In the middle off the temple stood a mysterious round stage surrounded by skulls, leaving her curious about its purpose.

Amidst the crowd, she noticed that only Her Warrior and four others were adorned in full-body armor, sparking curiosity about the ceremonial significance of these imposing sets. A gentle touch on her back from Her Warrior drew her attention, and he gestured for her to join the other humans.

"Oh my goodness! Hope!" Ivanna called running to her encounters hugging the shocked Hope." I was so worried!"

Ivanna was adorned head to toe with small bones and skulls, painted in red. Giving the cute woman a menencig impression." It's okay Ivanna. I am okay." Hope offered aiming to calm down the slightest taller one." How have you been holding on? Where did you took shelter during the storm?"

" You are not going to believe it!" Ivanna's tone changed drastically, from worried and distressed to an excited and conspicuous one. "Come, let's take a sit." The overly agitated Ivanna dragged her to the bench.

" Oh my! How are you still alive?" It was Alejandra. The woman was still out for trouble.

"No.I am not." Hope stared her dead in the eyes. " What you are seeing is just my ghost. Ignore me. Please."

Alejandra was about to get up, but the warning growl from one guard standing position next to them beat her to it, ultimately shutting the bitter woman.

Ivanna took a sit, dragging Hope with her. " There's so much to tell you! I don't even know where to begin."

" You can start by telling me were did you found alcohol..." Hope offered noticing the tell tale smell coming from the happy girl.

" Oh, they gave us some fruit that tasted a lot like peach punch, I think I may have eaten it to fast." Ivanna pointed to a small table with a tray full of strange looking fruits." Do you want some?"

"Maybe latter. Now tell me, what you have been up too?"

"First, I need to ask, do you know were they have taken Parvati and the others?"

Hope remembered the moment a few days ago, when they had separated the group. She didn't knew, guilty she realized that the thought had fully scaped her mind until now. She just shook her head answering Ivanna's question.

"Well, they are not here anymore. I know that because we were taken to that gigantic hut and they weren't there. I've spent the first day there with the others. It was a hell. Alejandra turned them against me, because I am close to you and she really believes you are some sort of spy."
