7 Path (2/2)

”I'm fine dear, I'm fine” said the chief as he used the sleeves of his robe to rub the tears off.

”Weather this sword is real or not, does not matter, what matters is that we keep it out of the draconian's reach.” Said Ipnak.

”Chief Ipnak, if what you said is true, then we can no longer stay here. The Draco Kingdom will not rest until they find the sword.” Said Lady Zena in a bleak voice.

”True, what do we do. We can't fight them, look what happened to the boys village” Said one of the elders with a pointy nose.

”3 days from now the Yaris Village will visit the oasis, followed by the Guar Village, we will inform them about the situation and we will move to the Raavi border together. The Draco Kingdom will not follow us there, and Raavi will allow us to come as laborers.” Said the village chief as he stood up.

”However, till then to avoid any panic we will not inform the people of the draconian threat, just tell them its time for the migration to another oasis.” Said Chief Ipnak as he looked at the elders with a heavy look causing them to gulp.

The chief looked at his favorite pupil Sappa, who nodded and said ”Don't worry teacher, I will handle everything.”

”Zena, I will have to ask you to take care of this little fellow” said Chief Ipnak as he stared at Koren.

”Koren, since you managed to survive so long in the desert sand by yourself, you should be a spiritualist. Tell me, how old are you?.” Asked the Chief.

Just as Koren was about to answer, he heard Hopes voice.

”Tell him you are an earth element spiritualist of level 5, and that you are 10 years old. Say your harmonization is 3. I'm busy so I can't explain why, but trust me on this for now.”

Koren did not know why he should lie, but he trusted Hope, so he replied in kind.

”Hm, I didn't know you were so talented, Old Kafai would be proud. OK, I plan to train Zena's daughter tomorrow, you can join in as well.” Said the Chief as he gave Koren a nod of approval and walked out of the tent, followed by the Matriarch, Sappa and the 2 Elders.

Zena looked at Koren and smiled. ”Are you hungry Koren?, we only had rations on the sand ship, so you must be famished.” Said Lady Zena as she approached Koren.

”Come, Lets go home” Said Lady Zena as she spread her palm out to Koren, waiting for him to grab hold.

Koren froze when he heard Lady Zena say home. For a moment the image of his mother overlapped with the image of Lady Zena, and tears began to pour out of Koren's eyes.

Zena looked at Koren's eyes, and sighed. She dropped on one knee so she could see Koren eye to eye, and said ”Koren, its OK to cry. You have lost people important to you. But you can not shut out others. Come with me to my home, and meet my family.”

Koren looked at Lady Zena and wiped away his tears. ”Thank you Auntie, I will come with you.” Said Koren as he grabbed Lady Zena's hand.
