Our village was exactly the way that we had left it when we arrived at dusk later that same day. I set the cooks preparing dinner, and sent out hunters for fresh meat. Seal and I sat on a masterfully carved bench outside what the villagers considered to be "our" hut. Although I do not know what Seal was thinking about (probably what all men think about 24/7…), I personally was going over the plans for the village's Temple in my head. It was going to be the largest and most majestic building on the entire Island.
"Ary, the cooks wish to know if you will be dining with us tonight," Seal told me.
"Yeah, why not? Tell them that I will be doing so."
"Then they ask that you go and receive your portion first, so that the others may do so as well."
"I'm coming, I'm coming." I ran with dignity (trust me – its very hard) to the center of the village, which where all fires are built. As I collected my portion of the dinner, the two blonde twins Ben and Sam, came up to me.
"Hey, sis."
"Bug off." I told them.
"We found Piggy's glasses."
"Good for you."
"…"
"BUG OFF!" They ran, not wanting to be near me in my current mood. Since they were my brothers, they knew very well that I liked to take out my negative emotions on them. (haha …sucks for them!)

When the village awoke the next morning, I had Seal blow the conch, effectively announcing a village meeting at the center of the village.Upon arrival, I had everyone report to their council member, who then came to me to say that everyone was there.
"Uh, HP?" the Sentry Councilor approached me.
"Yes?"
"Two of my day sentries are missing. They're not anywhere near the village, nor are they in their assigned bunk. I don't know where to look for them."
"Which two?" I had a pretty good idea, though. (Probably either my brothers or one of their friends – don't ask how they got onto a Pagan flight. [probably snuck into the baggage compartment.])
"The Twins."
"Oh. Send out a search party to sweep the entire island."
"Yes'm." I then went on to dicuss our plan of attack on Jack, selecting the leader of each rimon – each of which contained about 9 warriors. Each rimon leader were to report to me later to discuss the details of the various sections.
