"I don't get it though," Merida complained after a long walk through the wood. Frost was leading the party with Baby Tooth flying next to them. The little fairy seems to already get close to the Fon Master. She was less stiff and nervous than when the left the Fairy Tree and seems to enjoy Frost's company.

Ezra leaped over a fallen tree that Frost had disappeared over. "About what?" Ezra asked as he glanced behind him to see Merida leapt up to the top of the log.

"Why are we even helping the fairies," she said, leaping down. "This is totally not our problem. If you're weak, you're food. That's how it works."

Ezra shrugged. "That may be true, but this is hardly a normal food chain. The ligers aren't supposed to be here." He sighed. "So, we've confirm the thieves are the fairies. What do you want to do now?"

"Well, what else? We should've drag that puny fairy to Burgess and-"

"And let the ligers attack Burgess next for their dinner."

"Hmmp! Like I care about that stupid village!"

Ezra stopped, making Merida to crash into him. Ezra turned around, grabbing the front of her blouse. "Listen here princess," he said in a low tone. "How about you think like this? Burgess is the main of the producer of food. If the village is ruined, then there will be no food ship throughout the entire world, not just the Mared Krows Empire, your kingdom too! If we don't do this, you'll be starving for the rest of your life."

Merida fell silent. She only knew Ezra for a few days, yes, he may be annoying and a brat, but this was so out of character of him. Slowly, he let go off her. He sighed, frustrated. He massaged his forehead as he turned around.

"Stupid princess," he grumbled lowly.

She didn't say anything as the boy walked ahead.

There! Two chapter in one day!

I'm not ready for the next chapter… We're going to have another battle scene.

I hope Merida doesn't sound to OOC.
