He sighed in frustration; he had to explain everything to her and that required him to talk more. he gave the shortest explanation in history.
''Everything poisonous only these are edible.'' he patted himself on the back for giving such a clear explanation. cyra was stunned speechless, seeing him doing what he was doing. She snapped, her voice filled with pent-up frustration and stress. her hands gesticulating.
''that's it! no other information you can share about these Godforsaken places. Like how am I going to get out from here.'' after shouting she saw him glance at her and continue what he was doing. Cyra almost saw red. she wants to beat him up. but she consoled herself in a soft voice '' cyra breathe in, breathe out. you can beat up your savior.'' she breathed out and regained her calm.
''You can't leave here. ''Zane's soothing voice with a matter-of-fact tone came out, which stunned her, she slumped to the ground her hand covering her face; tears slipped out of her hand falling on the ground, and her shoulders shook. aha, all the good food is gone, and her glass phone she has not got to use is gone. why was her life so hard. she pictured only drinking that tree sap for the rest of her life and she shuddered, crying harder as snot dripped from her nose. She observed ten minutes of silence for her opulent life going down the drain.
Zane saw her crying bitterly and felt a flicker of concern, his thought flashed to a place. he opened his mouth and closed not knowing whether he should tell her. anyway is better to crush all her hope at once for her to recover.
''There is a rumored way out of here but it's found in the deadly oasis of the northern lands,'' Zane said softly.
Cyra looked up in wonder and was amazed Zane could let out more words from his mouth. ha, his voice is so nice. her mind left out the important information. after savoring his voice for ten seconds are thoughts clear up.
''what! There is a way out of here. tell me...tell me.'' she held his hand her eyes sparkle with hope. Zane blushed when he felt her touching him.
''pervert.'' he scurried away. rushing back into the tents. 'how can she just touch him a male like that?' his ears red as he finally regained his calm.
''what just happened?'' how did she become a pervert? She just held his hand. why did he have to rush out like that? cyra was puzzled. something clicked in her mind and she almost vomited blood in vexation. it is a reversed world where women are the men while men are the women. what kind of messed up shit nis these and on top of it there a conservative. Women can't touch males without them being their partner or in the act of prostitution.
so she is seen as a pervert now. She has to be careful next time not to make any mistakes that put her in trouble. but now she has something more important to know. her eyes finally took in her surroundings and she felt her future was worse. she saw the fur tents and smelt the dusty iron-like smell in the air. She can't remain here, she has to go back, fast.
she walked back to the tent, walking to Zane who ignored her and lay on the other side of the bed. She knew she couldn't get anything out of him this night. so she decided to sleep and talk tomorrow.
''Zane, why should I sleep...'' her voice was low. he pointed to the fur-covered ground. she sighed feeling pains in her back already. there is nothing she can do, but accept this condition till she finds a way to go back to Solara kingdom.
''goodnight.'' she laid and close her eyes to sleep[, she heard a faint ''Mmm'' .
.....
''Boss, Zane brought a strange woman in. She would be from the other side.'' a woman said, her tone filled with respect as she looked at the woman sitting in the shadow.
''watch her and report back to me.'' she let out a command, her eyes brewing with a storm.
