Chapter 48: Relic Of The Past
Sosora didn't waste any time. After a quick rest, she challenged the wall again. She had to make the most of what remained of the night before she had to head back.
However, when she managed to climb back up again, Monkey told her to focus on the wall and nothing else. He would handle the trifling matters like her house arrest and the Lowat tribe's insistence of her incarceration.
If he told the Aer and Lowat tribes that he had caught her while she was flying around the forest and was going to keep her secure since the Aer tribe couldn't, there wasn't much the others could do. Since Monkey even stepped forward for such a minor issue himself, the other tribes could only accept it.
The Monkey was one of the three leaders of the Gezercher tribe. While he was the most active one, the other tribes rarely saw him. They had to give him the respect he deserved.
The only time they wouldn't back down was if their own leaders stepped up.
But the Lowat tribe's Chief was old. It would take something more serious than a light scuffle between the youngsters for him to stick his nose in the current situation.
Monkey stepping forward was serious, but not enough to warrant the Lowat chief doing the same.
However, the Lowat tribe and their allied tribes wanted answers from the Gezercher tribe. Monkey entering the discussions was an opportunity for them to demand those answers.
Were the Gezercher tribe siding with the Aer tribe or the Lowat tribe? If they were doing neither, if they were staying neutral, they should hand over Sosora.
