Two days have past and Ace asks Myra: ''What are we going to do if we don't find it?'' Myra says: ''We have to. I can't risk Lucy's death.'' They keep searching for an hour and Myra says: ''There! You see the bees there on the tree?'' They walk towards the tree but Myra quickly drags Ace behind a bush. He asks: ''What's the matter?'' Myra whispers: ''Be quiet. There is someone.'' Taylor and some of his members from Camp-10 are hunting. Ace gets nervous because he doesn't know what Myra is about to do. Surprisingly she stays calm even though she would do everything to kill Taylor. Ace and Myra are still hiding while Taylor speaks to his members: ''We have to prepare for the attack. There are two weeks left until we are going to attack Camp-8 next.'' Myra and Ace are looking at each other concerned. A few minutes later Taylor and his members left. Myra and Ace are standing up and Myra says: ''We are lucky that we heard what this basta*d is going to do next. We have to hurry and inform Camp-8.'' Ace says: ''I am surprised that you stayed that calm.'' Myra says: ''I will have my chance to kill him. I have waited for years so some more weeks are nothing.'' Ace says: ''Come I will help you to get on the tree but be careful. The bees might sting you.'' Myra climbs on Ace's back and shoulder until she grabs the branch of the tree. She takes a little bottle and her knife to cut the honey into the bottle. She did it and now she climbs down. Ace says: ''Good work!'' Myra says: ''Now we have to hurry.''

2 days later they are back in Camp-19. Myra goes to Bryan and says: ''I am back. Here is the propolis. How long will it take until the medicine is ready?'' Bryan says: ''I am glad that you are alright. It will take a week until the medicine is ready.'' Myra says: ''A week? Why so long?'' Bryan says: ''The honey needs a week until it's going to be resin. It needs time and some more work until it's going to be medicine.'' Myra says: ''Fine but is Lucy going to be okay?'' Bryan responds: ''Yeah she is stable now. There is enough time.'' Myra says: ''Good. I am relieved. I have to tell you something. Ace and I saw Taylor and heard that he is about to attack Camp-8. I am going to inform their leader Ben. Please, don't tell Lucy about it.'' Bryan asks: ''Why not?'' Myra responds: ''I know her and if she knows what's going on then she wants to fight with us. In her condition that's impossible.'' Bryan says: ''Understood. I won't tell her anything but you have to tell her another reason why you and some of the others are going to be gone for a while.'' Myra says: ''I hate lying to her but it's going to be for the best.''

Myra goes to Lucy. Lucy seems really weak. She is pale and has a fever. She barely can keep her eyes open. The coughing is exhausting her. Myra says: ''Ace and I have brought the propolis. It will be ready in a week until it's medicine. Bryan told me that you are going to be alright. So don't worry.'' Lucy says: ''Thank you.'' Myra says: ''I and some others from Camp-19 are going to be gone for a while. We want to discuss something with the other camps.'' Lucy asks: ''Why?'' Myra says: ''Just to speak about a few things because of the upcoming war with Camp-10 and his allies. Boring stuff like food supplies and so on. Nothing important. '' Lucy says: ''Then take some of my members with you if you need them.'' Myra says: ''Thank you.''

Myra explains to the others what is going on. They make themselves ready. Myra takes 15 people from her camp with her and 4 from Lucy's camp. She also writes some letters for the other allies that are close to Camp-8 and can still make it in time to be a backup. Bryan says to Myra: ''You know I am not really a leader person. So you better don't die. I don't want to be responsible for Camp-19 forever.'' Myra laughs and says: ''And you better keep the camp save until I am back. You know that I am not easy to kill. See you.'' Myra and the others take some gas masks with them, poison, armor, weapons, and canons. Ace asks: ''What about the wolves?'' Myra responds: ''The armors for the wolves aren't ready yet. But we are well prepared. I can't wait to see Taylor's face when he is realising what is happening.'' Ace takes Myra's hand and says: ''Then let's go.''
