Myra's lips parted slightly. She did not deny it. Instead, she kept her gaze on Kael.
The elders exchanged looks. "If what you say is true,… then perhaps we should observe before acting. But know this, if he betrays us, there will be no mercy."
"We the beast will begin BEAST WAR! Aahhhhh "
"Keep quiet", a lady said.
Kael sat on a moss-covered stone, the ache in his ribs was almost gone when he was being healed.
For a boy who had been bleeding and half-conscious a day ago, the recovery was nothing short of miraculous.
"Looks like I owe you my life," he said to Myra.
"Before I forget… I never asked your name."
For a moment she said nothing and she was shy.
Then, "Myra." she said.
"Myra," Kael repeated.
"Beautiful name. Thank you… for saving me."
She glanced over her shoulder.
"You were half-dead. Anyone would have helped."
