บท 245: A Start

After a while, the other women collect several containers of water and make plans for them but Shamo and I both stand off to the side. I stare up at the huge water volcano and say "Sooo... I don't really know if this will stop..." 

Shamo chuckles and says "It's fine. It's better this way." I smile in relief and say "I'm glad. I was starting to panic." This time we both chuckle as she turns to me and says "Since you've held up your end of the bargain, I'll hold up mine." 

She turns and says "Follow me" Women were still gathering water as Shamo and I leave the courtyard. I silently follow after her and after several minutes, we come to a large wooden door with red symbols on it.

Shamo lifts her hand and places it on the door, causing the red symbols to glow as the door suddenly opens. She walks in and goes straight to a large cabinet as I look around the otherwise empty room.
