Chini drew a dagger from her waist and handed it to the clean young boy.
Paul looked somewhat confused at the girl's beautiful eyes.
"This Crystal Fang Dagger was left to me by my family, made from the sharp teeth of Xia Hulu, the sacred Sand Worm,"
Chini's beautiful blue eyes gazed at the boy, full of affirmation.
"To die holding it would be a great honor, and Jamie is a powerful Warrior; he will not let you suffer."
In the eyes of Chini, the Female Warrior, young Paul was undoubtedly unable to pass Jamie's test, a formidable Warrior, and would die at Jamie's hands.
But young Paul dared to stand up for his mother, facing Jamie's challenge, proving the courage this boy had.
"Chini,"
Paul looked into the girl's eyes, hesitating, wanting to tell her that he had seen her in a dream, but finally, his lips closed, swallowing all his words.
He held Chini's dagger and followed the girl to the flat ground.
