"Āmi ē'i grāmēra matō'i yubā yubaka. Ēbaṁ ē'i grāmaṭi nirāpadē thākalē āmi mārā yāba." (I am as old as this village, young boy. And I will die when this village is safe.) The elder said. Then, somebody knocked on the door.
"An'yarā ēsēchēna, ōhē pabitra prabīṇa." (The others have arrived, oh, sacred elder.) A young boy whispered while bowing.
"Āpanāra ucita ēbaṁ tādēra abhibādana karā ucita. Tabē, najara rākhuna, śiẏāla'ō āchē." (You should go and greet them. But, watch out, the fox is there too.) The elder then walked away and Merlin scowled.
"Who's 'the fox'?" Arthur asked after Greg translated everything.
"Húlí." Was the only thing Merlin said, making the others growl.
"We won't let her touch you." Lancelot sheared his sword, and so did the other Imardian knights.
"Don't worry, I will be safe. I need to talk to her." Merlin sighed and Arthur quickly blocked his path.
"What? Are you crazy!" Arthur yelled and Merlin rolled his eyes.
"When the elder says that she's there, he wants that I go talk with her. Maybe then, I don't have to kill her. After all, I was her first friend." Merlin gently pushed Arthur away before running off. He rushed down the stairs but could hear Arthur yell.
"That fox again!" Before the doors suddenly closed in front of him. When he turned on his right, the doors closed too. He smiled, remembering the game and ran up the stairs, everytime the doors closed until he was at the stair that led to the rooftop. He also climbed it and there she sat on the edge of the rooftop. (Staying alive plays. Sorry!)
"Wǒ yǐwéi nǐ huì gèng kuài." (I thought that you would be here quicker.) She laughed and Merlin walked closer, cautiously.
"Bié dānxīn, wǒ bù huì shāle nǐ. Yěxǔ shā sǐ nǐ bùshì wǒ de mìngyùn, dàn shā sǐ wǒ què shì nǐ de mìngyùn." (Don't worry, I won't kill you. Maybe it isn't my destiny to kill you, but it is yours to kill me.)
