Amanda stood by the altar feeling bad about herself. She had betrayed her best friend, Zilla, letting Maul come along with her through the portal.
It haven’t occured to her that she only could had removed the book from the altar – getting the portal to vanish – hindering Maul from exit it.
But no… she hadn’t thought of that at the time… She had only thrown her axe at him, which of course hadn’t stopped him… and now…
She sighed deeply. If Zilla now was in danger because of Maul, it was all her fault.
But just as she thought her misery, couldn’t get any worser, she heard some voices, nearing the altar.
«As you all know.» Isha said, «I was originally a princess. And my older sister, were my guardian.»
Hagar made a scoffing laugh at her,
«You were? When? I never heard of that!»
Isha looked back at her,
«That’s because you got you memory wiped, we all have, but now…»
«Enough, sister!» Hagar confronted her, «You are just imaginating things. Why should I be your guardian?»
«Because you’re the oldest, and it is your job. We haven’t always been pirates you know.»
«Really?»
Isha sighed,
«Yes really.»
Hondo walked behind them,
«Oh, I don’t know about that.» he said, streching his back, «I been a captain as long as I know.»
They came out from the fog which they had been walking through, and could now see Amanda standing by the altar, with the portal open behind her,
«You definitely have been reading too many books, little sister.» Hagar laughed before pointing to Amanda, «Look what we have here.» turning her gaze to the portal, «What’s that?»
