Bunker walked down the corridor of the tunnel, two warriors came in sight as they were guarding heda's chambers. Giggling and laughter were heard on the other side of the closed door.
"Gon beja we," Bunker spoke and the two guards followed his orders. He opened the door to see two nude women embraced on the bed with Enoch nowhere to be found. The dark birthmarks on their bodies indicated that they were from the north of one of the seven Houses. "Inok."
Enoch, clothed with just a bare chest entered from the back corridor. "Bonker, ha yu?"
Bunker cleared his throat, motioning to the women.
"Oh," Enoch mumbled. "Len, asoluviv," he spoke in Sondiv.
The girls stood up and annoyingly walked towards the entrance, kissing Enoch a farewell. "Yen ikedúr almatév ayá?" one whispered to the other and giggled.
"Yes, I have been laid recently, asoluviv." Bunker snarled as her closed the doors shut in their faces.
"Bunker, what can I do for you, my seer?" Enoch asked as he walked around his model of the Shadow Lands, which Enoch had spent years molding and scouting the ground to make.
"I have had another vision," Bunker answered. "of Nola."
Enoch straightened his back and locked his jaw. "What of her hearts?"
"Well as you know after Arrival Day some time ago, night after night, she'd come to me and tell of her nightmares-"
"Yes I remember, but get to the point, Bunker." Enoch growled at the thought of Bunker beating around the bush of him delaying the truth about Nola's wellbeing.
"Her heart failed after even the best fisa tried to cure her," Bunker continued. "they said it failed of a broken heart. Now when her second heart kicked in, it was as if she'd never experience the failure of the first one."
"The vision, Bunker, your vision-"
Bunker's shoulders fell; he swallowed a lump in his throat. "Nola's second heart will fail if she is not read her prophecy."
Enoch's brows furrowed. "What are you saying?"
"Each member of a House is read a prophecy on their twelfth name-day, but because for those years Nola was still struggling with her heart, you didn't want her to get distracted on not focusing on her condition. My vision was of her, on your throne, with her heart in a Vessel's hand-which symbolically symbolizes that she--heda's sister--her heart will fail due to a vessie."
Enoch took a few steps back and clenched his fists, "Breathe," he told himself, a calming mechanism. "Nola is in no means necessary allowed to come in contact with a vessie once she returns from her trek is that clear!?"
The dark sky had fallen upon the trees and the stars shining bright in speckles in clusters together. The winged-creatures had crept out from the trees and Nola had put her sword back into her scabbard. The bright blue hue of the winged-creature landed on the tip of her finger before it flew away.
"So, how many people have you killed?" Westley asked.
She glared at him. "Five hours and that's the way you break a silence?"
He shrugged and placed his hands in his pockets. "It's the best ice breaker I have, you've got to give me some credit here, you're the first Terra I've ever met."
