It was a late evening, the sun was beginning to sink down the horizon. Delta sighed, collapsing to her knees.
" Guys. I am way too tired to keep going. Can we please stop ? " she begged. Phillip ran a hand through his brown hair.
" But, Delta. If we stop now, we won't reach the river. If we don't have a river, we don't have resources, " the prince explained as Caiman picked Delta up, putting her petite body on her back.
" Just like you, Phillip. Too selfish to think of other people's needs, " Luna sneered, crossing her arms with a glare.
" Well, Luna. I know we need resources. And if we don't get them, then we'll really be in trouble. So please trust me on this one, hm ? "
The tall brunette rolled her eyes, continuing down the path. Meanwhile, Rosemary was tagging along, minding her own business. Suddenly, the feeling of hair smacked her face. In an instant, she pulled her gun out and was about to point it at the stranger that hung upside down.
But someone beat her to the punch. That someone being Leo, pointing his gun at the poor man's head.
" Whoa, whoa, whoa. Slowww down, " the man said, almost too calm for a man with a gun in his face. " I heard you needed a place to stay, allow me to show you my home. "
Leo stared with confusion, unable to understand the man's lack of fear as the man walked into the trees.
" You coming ? " he asked, turning around. Shayla was first to walk after the mysterious man, then the rest followed. " My people would be happy to have you. They're quite friendly and they love company. "
Caiman studied the man's clothing, a simple vest and baggy pants. He wore no shoes and some kind of cloth rag was wrapped around his head. It was definitely odd to Caiman for someone to be wearing something like that. When he had gotten so used to just armor or formal wear.
When they reached a clearing, they saw even more people dressed like this mysterious man, and they were laughing, eating, and dancing.
" Join the party ! " The man ushered them into the crowd. They all sat down, watching as they danced.
They danced and laughed while the group ate. Soarden was the first to join them, dragging Harmony with him. One by one, the group joined the dancers.
The ones left sitting were Rosemary, Leo, and Luna, who watched silently.
Shayla walked over to Rosemary, bending over to look her in the eye.
" Come dance with me and the rest of us ! " she invited, pulling Rosemary to her feet.
" Oh no, I don't dance, " Rosemary said.
" Sure you do, now come on ! "
The princess guided the girl to the center of the people, moving her hips, as if demonstrating what to do. And slowly, Rosemary followed suit. Sure enough, they began to dance happily. Luna looked at Leo from the corner of his eye to see if he was watching. He was.
" Care to dance ? " a voice purred. Luna looked up to see none other than Prince Phillip.
" Only if my life depended on it, " she snorted looking away, suddenly, she felt something cold on her neck. She looked down to see a knife pressed to her throat.
" Shall we ? "
