In the Heart Lands at a training ground, Tong was teaching a class along with Little Noi.
"That's it, make quick and precise moves," said Tong.
"This is not an easy lesson," said Boun from up in some stands while watching the students going through a hall with ropes strung up everywhere.
"But it will be a great skill in case they are ever in a tight spot where it's hard to move around," said Namaari.
"Yeah, but why the need for soldiers when all the tribes are together?" asked Sisu.
"There are still wild animals and natural disasters to worry about," said Raya.
"So, we're training them to be more of a rescue group than soldiers," she said.
"Miss. Raya, Miss. Namaari, your parents want to see you in the grand hall," said a guard who approached.
"Keep watching and let us know how things turn out," said Raya to Boun and Sisu as the girls started to walk away.
"You know I will," said Sisu.
"So, what do you think they want to talk to us about?" asked Namaari.
"It's probably about the Passing of Title ceremony to be held in a few days, there are still a lot of things that we need to do for it," said Raya.
"I still think Little Noi is too young to become the next chief for the Talon Lands," said Namaari.
"Don't let her hear you say that, even as a baby she's way smarter and stronger than what you may think," said Raya.
"Guess you have a point there, Dep La," said Namaari with a smile as she grabbed Raya's hand.
"Not in public," said Raya while pulling her hand away before anyone saw them.
"Sorry, I forgot," said Namaari, whose smile had dropped before putting some distance between them.
"Great job, Raya," thought Raya while hurrying to catch up.
