Chapter 10: The Ogen Woods.
Before dawn while everyone is asleep, Amari wakes up and plans to leave without saying his goodbyes. He walks out and before he exists the gate. Safiya calls him.
’’I had a feeling you would try to leave without saying goodbye.’’
Amari smiles and looks at her.
’’I just didn’t want to see you cry again.’’
’’Well, I’m not going to!’’
’’Shhh... You’ll wake everyone in the village up.’’
’’I was wondering where you were, Safiya said you’d leave early, but I didn’t it would be this early.’’ Isabel comes forth while holding a bag.
’’Wow, I wasn’t expecting you guys to see me leave.’’
’’I just wanted to give you some clothes and this...’’
Isabel hands Amari the bag and gets out a dagger made of stone and hands it to him. This confuses Amari.
’’Will I need this?’’
’’Trust me you will... The bag is filled with clothes for you to change, and that dagger you’re holding is the only thing that I could get past the guards, since we aren’t allowed to hand outsiders our weapons.’’
