Chapter 11 - chapter 11 sakuna s trick

chapter 11Sakuna's trick and the first step of friendship It was dark over the plains, only the sound of the wind blowing among the trees. Volt and Aki were asleep next to the dim fire, but Sai wasn't. He held his hand to her neck, and the spot where Sakuna's seal was was burning like fire.
