At the tavern kitchen, Jug preparing his ingredients for breakfast. "Alright...let's make some food now!" He first cut some onions into small dice shapes, then some chili and mashed it in a mortar. Soon he went to the fridge to find the rice leftovers. "That's a lot." he said as he pull it out.
"Yo, Jug!" Sam appeared with a smirk.
"What is it?"
"Whatchu doing?"
"Cooking of course," Jug unamused.
Sam then jumps over the bar and when to him and watch him doing the cooking. "MMmm somehow you making something special, yee?"
"Shut up, you're not even helping,"
"Oh come on. I'm just commentaring,"
Soon, the door bell rung as two person enters. Maks and Sheyla.
"Oh, you finally came," Tela said, and already knew Maks will come with grief. He's face felt no colors anymore as he lowered his eyes.
"Hey, Tela is talking to you," Sheyla said.
Soon, he approach to Tela and hug her. Then he cried. "There there, I know..." Tela calming Maks.
"How...could she died...so peaceful?" Maks cracked.
Jug and Sam watch them, kept quiet because it's too heavy to know about it. "Oh, hey Jug. Where's Myke?" Sam then asked.
"Oh he's in his room,"
"Lies! I don't find him! He promise me to recruit someone with me! It's my turn!"
"Do you search at the walls or somewhere?"
"Wha..."
"Sometimes he doesn't sleep on the bed," Jug said.
Soon, as they were talking about Myke, he casually goes out the room. Sam and Jug suprised as he goes out of Ying's. "Uh...Lyo?" Jug said.
"Hmm..."
"Why are you in Ying's room?"
"Big deal?"
"No...just...concerned about it. Where's Ying?"
Myke strecthes his arms above and neck. "Training I guess?"
Suddenly, a head knock to Myke by Ying as she went out too, yawning like a cat. "It's late for me to train, Myke," she said lazily, walk towards the bar, putting her head on the table, and snooze.
A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.
Sam and Jug again suprised as Ying is still in her room, and went out with Myke. What triples their reaction as Myke goes next to Ying, putting his arm around her and snooze together.
"Do you think...Myke and Ying...are..."
"I won't comment that, Sam." Jug refused to say anything, and continue his cooking as his routine.
"Oh I want to comment it." Then Sam went to Myke. "Aww, cute,"
Myke open his eyes, and side eye to him. Then he continues snoozing.
"Well...when is out recruitment?"
"We cancelled it,"
Sam then suprised. "Cancel it?! What happened?"
Tela overheard it too, and do so Jug.
"Tell Kana...Ronald...Tela...Jug...we're hunting Hennah..." Myke muttered.
"What?!" Jug shocked. "Are you serious?"
"Are you drunk or something?" Tela said.
"What's going on there?" Kana just appeared out her room.
"We...hunt...Hennah..." Ying muttered.
Everyone went speechless. They exchanging stare to each other. They could believe of what both of them said.
"Okay, listen up." Myke said. "As we already talk about earlier, we're gotta follow Hennah's foot steps. That means, we're gonna fine Ming as well,"
Everyone pay attention to Myke's as he pull out the map of Manalta. "So...no recruiting new members?" Sam said.
"No..." Ronald said.
"Oh come on! I was planning to find new chicks!"
"Sam, focus!" Tela said. Sam shuts his mouth.
"So the only way to find Hennah is to know where Ming went, and this is a problem. We don't know where does she goes,"
"Well, since Vehra and Ming are sisters, maybe they live in the same place," Kana theoring. And all of them glare at her. "What? Common sense, right?"
"Good point, but Vehra lives somewhere else before Ming even exist. She told me that," Tela said.
"If only Vehra is still alive," Ronald said.
"Wait..." Ying said, as she look at her hand. "I think this could be it,"
"What is it?" Jug curious.
As Myke look at her hand that still has a name of it, he soon analyze the map. "Hevalnya...It doesn't had in it,"
"Wait..." Tela soon paused everyone. "I think Hevalnya is an old name." she said. Soon she pull out her own map, and compare to Myke's. "Hevalnya is an old name due to the battle of Manalta. This old map I have has it. So if we could compare to yours..."
Soon, both Valirion and Cinder's Petal shocked. "Woah...This actually interesting," Sam said.
"Okay...but why didn't we know this name before?" Myke said.
"Actually, Vehra gave me this map. It's really old one, so I make a new one. It's oddly similar to the new version."
"Jeltehanya....Hevalnya...it looks so similar," Ying said.
"I know right? Vehra even told me, that this place are known for assassins and marksman, and filled with....HOLD ON HOLD ON...I think I know where Ming is!" Tela figured it out.
"What what?!" Ronald said.
"HEVALNYA IS A REGION OF....WARAHANYA!!"
"Warahanya? You mean...family of Wara's? WAIT...YOU RIGHT!!" Sam said.
"Yes! Then Akira's hints is not a hint after all. It's an answer of where is Ming now. That's mean..."
"We can find Hennah as well!" Valirion and Cinder's Petal said in unison.
"Well then...Valirion!!" Myke shout.
"CINDERS!" Tela shout as well.
"WE GO HUNT!" (Tela and Myke)
As Maks sat in front of Vehra's tombstone, having a quiet grief of solemn, as the wind breezes on his hair and ears, as if Vehra is with him.
"YO, MAKS!! WANNA JOIN US?!" Sam shouts.
"Not interested," Maks said.
"WE'RE GONNA FIND MING! LAST OFFER!"
Maks turn his head and shook as he denied it. "Welp...suit yourself!" Sam said.
Then he went in the truck as they revving to the wastelands once more.
"Why didn't we bring Maks?" Kana asked.
"Don't worry. He'll come actually. He is a living irony," Sam confidently said.
As soon as they were in the middle of the wasteland, they heard something was mount on the truck. Everyone concern about it until Sam said. "It's Makswara by the way." he smiled.
"O...kay?" Tela said as she drives.
