2 minutes later, the bus pulled in to a fuel station. The teachers told everyone to get dinner, so everyone raced across the road to the pizza shop. Everyone except Angelina, Gregor, Larry and Luxa. Instead they chose a quiet burger place opposite it. After they walked in, Gregor had a bad feeling when Larry took Luxa to find a seat and Angelina asked him to help place an order. Gregor could see Larry trying to have a conversation with Luxa, but she did not respond. She was glancing at him, hoping for some help to hide her accent and the way she talked. Gregor gestured for her to keep quiet. He sighed in relief when she understood.

After he finished ordering Gregor sat next to Luxa, and Angelina next to Larry. There was an awkward moment where no-one tanked till Gregor spoke up,
"This is Luxa, she's mute she can't talk." Luxa had to go with it and nod. Gregor thought this was valid until Angelina spoke up.
"That's not what you wrote in that book," she snapped.
"Can Luxa and I talk privately, just for a minute" Gregor pleaded
"What secret are you hiding from us?" Larry asked
"Trust me you will end up knowing all my secrets," he whispered to himself, although he knew they had heard. Gregor waved for Luxa to follow him to behind the building.

"First things first, Aurora must be tired, she needs to rest," Gregor started
"Yes. I will call her now," Luxa replied while taking out a small thin pipe made from metal. She blew in it but no sound came out. "It makes a sound only some animals can hear," she explained as Aurora coasted in for a landing, almost crashing into Gregor
"Greetings Overlander," she purred
"Hey Aurora, you need some rest you've been flying all day."
"Yes, I suppose I should get some rest," Aurora said, and with that, she was asleep within a minute.
"Who were they?" Luxa asked.
"Friends from New York, they helped me through the hard times," Gregor explained then there was a pause
"Why did you come to the overland?" He said. Luxa's answer took a while but she chocked it out anyway,
"There's another prophecy."
