" What do you mean he's gone?" Her face began to make a panicked look.
" Riona, he .......he"
" No, not him!" She started cradling her head.
" Riona, listen to me. Caspian is not dead or alive. He has turned into a shadow Knight. He destroyed Xynnar and earned himself a title." Riona was silent and tears started flowing out of her eyes. Then she broke the silence.
" I have to go now." She started to get up and wiped the tears from her eyes. Zayne leaned over and hugged her. Then whispered something to Riona.
Machate heard it even though he wasn't supposed too.
" Riona. Please, move on. Life is like a river, it can be pleasant and can offer valuable things. Though, it has to face obstacles and it eventually overcomes them. Now, let's here your story." Riona nodded and sat down on the cold damp floor.
" My father or the Alpha is Tybalt. He is a strong influence to other tribes. Now though he is relying on betrothal and tries to bring tribes together." Riona put her hand on her forehead. " He does this to prevent battles and wars. Since the battle of Sinister our Tribe has been trying to recover. Tybalt has arranged a wedding for the "Prince" of the werecats."
" Excuse me, not to be rude. Why do you call you father by his first name?"
Riona's face brightened and a faint smile appeared.
" You do not? In our Tribe calling your mother or father by their first name shows that you are strong and if you call them mother or father. Do you call them that?" In Machate's mind the picture of his mother slowly dying. With blood pooling on the floor flashed in his mind. He started sobbing slowly.
" Riona, who is betrothed to the prince? " Zayne said quickly. To get Machate distracted.
Riona gasped.
Quietly she said.
"Me."
