Amirah woke up very early in the morning, it seems her father was already awake, but the others were still sleeping. 'Father must be talking to the others about what to do with Murzim...' she thought. She silently stood up and took some bread.

Before heading out towards Murzim's cage. The word stung in Amirah's mind, it didn't sound nice what so ever. The more she thought about a young girl being bound and caged the more she wanted to save Murzim.

She looked around hoping no one saw her. "Good morning Murzim" she said but just like before the girl had already sat up when she heard Amirah approaching. Murzim just nodded at the older female, acknowledging that she was there.

"Here I got you some bread" she said, Murzim took it and ate it hungrily. Which was odd, she had just gotten bread not so many hours ago, was she that underfed? No... everything seemed alright.

"Okay now. I have a plan, to get you out of here Murzim. Right now everyone is either asleep or at the assembly to talk. So I am going to try and get the keys to get you out" she said. Murzim looked at her slightly in disbelief was the other really risking to save her? The fanalis girl had seen in her time in this cage that every single person that came near would be severely punished. Amirah just gave her a reassuring smile.

"Do not worry, everything will be fine" she said, before leaving she had to get the keys after all. Murzim watched her, following her with her eyes.

Amirah softly walked to the carriage and and got inside, tip toeing to the hook that had the keys. How stupid of that man to leave it there, then again he had drunk very much yesterday so it was no wonder he was out cold. She carefully took the keys in her hand and checked if the male started to wake up or not, sometimes she got a little heart attack when he moved. 'Calm down Amirah, get the keys and go' she thought quickly taking the keys and going out of the carriage. She sighed glad to be out of there.

"Amirah what are you doing?"

Amirah suddenly heard behind her making her yelp softly and almost let the keys fall out of her hand. "Damnit Saladin don't scared me like that!" she scolded the other for sneaking up on her.

"Amirah you know this is not wise, what if you get caught?" the older boy warned her, not wanting that the other would get into trouble.

"I need to save this girl, Saladin. I cannot let her live like this!" She spoke to the other.

Saladin looked at her and sighed. "I cannot believe I am agreeing on this but, fine. I will keep a watch out, so be quick"

A smile plastered on Amirah's face. "Thank you Saladin!" she said and went to the cage.

She tried every key before finally finding the one and opened the door. "Okay I need to come in to unlock your shackles". The little fanalis girl nodded at that, her red/pink-ish eyes saw something though "Go back!" she said but it was too late.

Amirah got pulled back by her hair by someone strong. Amirah yelped in pain with one eye closed she looked at the person whom had her hair in his grip. Just as she feared the man that had captured Murzim had woken up and was rather angry at Amirah for trying to steal his 'slave'.

"Saladin!" Amirah raised her voice in concern as she saw the another male of Farouk's caravan holding onto Saladin with a knife to his neck. "Be quiet you!" he male hissed and picked her up by her hair.

"Amirah!" Saladin yelled her name in concern. Damn it, why did he leave without his staff?! If only he had it with him he could perform some magic.

Murzim knew this was going to be useless. She knew the girls plan would fail, then why did she not warn her earlier? Had she become so hopeful. 'Never give up' that voice ringed through her head.

'I... should not give up' she thought and gritted her teeth, lost in thought until she heard the sound of metal clashing with metal. She looked up and blinked Amirah had thrown the keys to her. "Get out Murzim, quick!" she said. Her red/pink-ish eyes widen at this gesture. Even in pain she risked a lot to let her be free. From that point on, she knew she would owe this girl a lot.

The grown man growled at this and threw Amirah away to a pole, wanting to go in the cage to get the keys back, while having a knife in his hands. "Murzim watch out!" Amirah yelled wanting to stand up up but was dizzy because of the it.

"No more running..." Murzim said. This girl, Amirah was genuinely concerned about her, she was not going to let this go to waste. She was just like that person whom went through everything to get Murzim free as well so many months ago. When being captured again she thought it was her destiny to be a slave after all. But she had seen a part of the world and yet again someone tried to free her from her prison.

She was not going to give up, not anymore. Her resolve high of wanting to get out, wanting to keep in mind what that person dear to her said before dying. She would not give up. Murzim took a deep breath and started to had to hold her hands on her ears, as the scream sounded like an echo. "What the-?" she could hear the man curse and saw him shivering in fear The other male had let go of Saladin scared and backed away, with this opportunity he quickly went to get Amirah's father. Amirah just looked wide eyed at the girl. She could do something like this?

While the male was in fear Murzim grabbed the keys and unlocked the shackle on her ankles, before the other could comprehend what was happening. "Why you-" he started but was blasted out of the carriage by the girl's strength. Amirah still looked wide eyed at her, "Wow..." was the only thing that left her mouth as she looked at the fanalis.

"Amirah!" the strong voice of her father made her look away from the fanalis. However as mad as they were on the man, every grown up looked at the freed fanalis girl, some were afraid of what she might do. As Murzim walked up to Amirah, her father got more cautious, that was until Murzim went on her knees and bowed deeply. "Thank you for saving me" she said. Amirah looked at her and smiled. "No need to bow, or to thank me, you did most yourself Murzim" she said.

She smiled and walked up to Murzim held out her hand. "Come on stand up". Murzim gasped softly as she looked up at Amirah, she could see her honesty. "Thank you" she said once more before hesitantly taking her hand and let her be pulled up by Amirah.

Seeing that the fanalis didn't want to do any harm, they locked their eyes once more on the person that had captured the fanalis. "Farouk! As punishment for bringing a slave for trade, which is forbidden! And for using violence against my daughter and Saladin whom is part of our caravan, we sentence you to leaving this group. You are banished!" Amirah's father's voice boomed over everyone else. "What?! You can't do that" Farouk the male whom had kept Murzim prisoner. "Yes I can, and I am sure everyone agrees". Farouk looked at everyone whom looked away and didn't say anything. "You will pay for this, do you hear me?!" he roared before leaving with his caravan. Everyone seemed to calm down once the male left.

Amirah's father looked at Murzim "And you" he said his strong eyes softening. "You are free to go". The fanalis girl looked at Amirah as if wanting her vote in this. Amirah just gave her a gently smile and nodded. Murzim looked from Amirah to the father and said. "I wish to stay" she said, and once again bowed. "I wish to stay and help out as thank you for saving me". Amirah looked bewildered by what the other said. "I will not stop you. You are free to do what you want" Amirah's father said which shocked said girl only more. "W-Wha? Are you sure father?". He nodded "Yes, after all, it seemed the fanalis girl trusts you" and with that he left.

Amirah looked at Murzim and held out her hand. "Well... welcome to the Ghaniyah caravan then, Murzim". Murzim looked at the hand questionably.

"You shake it!" she said. Murzim blinked but took her hand and Amirah gave it a firm shake.

And that was the moment Amirah had gotten her second companion... but soon things were going to change more drastically than what they would have wanted.
