Though, the man had his back against Oisin, hearing the man's voice, Oisin instantly recognized who the person waiting for him inside the cave behind the waterfall.

The man stood from the stone he was sitting on and turned around.

"Oisin." Aito said as he walked towards his childhood friend and hugged him.

"Aito." Oisin said as he hugged him back.

"You have been away for many moons and I was starting to get worry." Aito said as they disengaged from their embrace.

"Then, you'll be in luck, you get to succeed my place." Oisin said jokingly.

Aito smacked the High General by the head.

"Ouch!" Oisin exaggeratedly acted out as if his head was hit by a log of wood.

"If I am going to be a High General like you, I will do it by my own merits and without having to lose you in the process. Besides, I am only a Lieutenant General and still a rank away."

Oisin remained silent as he sat on the stone next to where Aito was seated earlier.

"I see, you cooked dinner." Oisin said gleefully.

"Yeah. I come here almost every day before sunset and waiting for you to come home."

"Well, it's good that you are here." Oisin said as he picked up the grilled fished impaled on a stick. He took a bite. "This is good." He chewed for a bit. "This saves me the trouble of finding you."

"What's up?" Aito asked.

"Aito, you know, I trust you with my life." Oisin said.

"Yes. And, so do I. Though, we did not come from the same parents, we were raised as brothers by the previous Orakulua."

"I know." Oisin paused and placed his food aside. "You have to take my place in the clan."

"WHAT?!" Aito was confused. "What do you mean?"
