"Good to have you back" Pen said braking there hug suddenly.
"I missed you" Cinnaminson whispered to him than leaned up to kiss his mouth.
"Yah, I missed you too" Pen said turning his head to avoid her kiss "let get back to camp"
"Ok, I love you" she said shakily and confused, than tried to take his hand in hers.
He tore his hand for hers roughly, than walked briskly in front of her, cutting her off. She stumbled after him, hurt and confused about how she had offended him.
When they got back to camp they had a pleasant surprise.
"Khyber!!" Cinnaminson squeaked running to embrace her friend.
Khyber had grown a lot since the fall of the druids, sad that she would probably never form another group in her lifetime. She had grown into a young woman and wasn't just a little girl playing with elf stones anymore. She had grown into an amazing person both in her body and her attitude. She wasn't as shy anymore yet was still not a too outgoing person, she was somewhere in between. But her body was nothing short of gorgeous, her hips curved to her druid robes, most men would think her the prettiest girl on earth, and Pen thought just that.
Studying her further, he realized that her head was downcast and her hands where tucked into her robes.
"What's the matter?" Pen asked her causing Cinnaminson to brake there hug.
"Um, nothing where's Grianne" she asked realizing that Grianne wasn't there.
Pen slowly told the story about how Grianne gave herself in place of Cinnaminson his voice braking at points.
"Damn" she swore out of anger more than sorrow "I need her right now"
"What about?" Pen asked curiously.
"Well…" Khyber started than suddenly spoke rapidly "Palanor has too much bad history, too much blood was spilled there and no matter how hard I try, no one will ever forget that. No one will study there or trust themselves as its owner. So I thought, I thought that we should do what happened in the time of Walker, when it got buried. Except that this time we have to destroy Palanor"
