Chapter 97: The Makaris (1)

Jaya woke up refreshed. She doesn't remember, when was the last time she had such a good night's rest. The sun was already high in the sky. She overslept a lot, but it didn't bother her. Everything was peaceful, except the annoying banging on the door.

"Who is it?"

Since Arianell was nowhere to be seen, she took a liberty and opened the door herself. A man stood by the entrance, knocking impatiently. The other was next to the horse, as he piled the boxes and bags from the car.

"You… you!" The younger of two men pointed a finger at her, surprised to see someone else. "Jace! That little brat darkened and even grew taller…!"

"What are you saying, old man?!" Jaya unconsciously raised her leg and kicked him to the side.

"Auuu! My leg!" The man whimpered as he was hugging his knee on the ground.
