"First I must thank you for saving my daughter and son, as a mother I couldn't be more thankful."
Having been lead into a large hut Dax met with the current leader of the white lagoon village for a private conversation between the two of them. Like her daughter the village chief had large blue eyes and long gray and white hair that glistened like a gemstone in the light inside the hut, but unlike Opal she seemed to emit a more adult aura as she bowed down to Dax and expressed her sincere gratitude as a mother for having her children returned to her.
"It was nothing. As somewhat of a parent myself I understand your gratitude, please raise your head."
Strongly sensing a 'but' coming Dax decided to first answer her gratitude before anything else.
Thanks for reading! Next chapter will be tomorrow, hope to see you guys then.
I only have tomorrows chapter backlogged, It's starting to look like an issue.... I'll see if I'll be able to write the next chapters while I'm away, but I don't know if that's likely.
