Amazon Challenge-Tribe Wahine 3/5

Back home, Abra discusses the plan with Elue and her sister, Ekewaka. They are to meet the Grim Reaper at the Amazon Temple and discuss how to catch the traitors.

"I do not ask you lightly, dear sisters," Abra warns. "For every hour spent with Grim at the temple means many moons off your life in payment."

Both agree it will be worth the sacrifice. They do not want their creator to do this alone.



Abra smiles and assures them she knows of a talented Shaman who has a gift of life potions. Abra will make sure both would receive one.



The three hurry over to the temple in the shadow of the night. The Grim Reaper is waiting for them.



Grim says, "Hurry, we must pay respect to the Maker first, then we'll discuss our plan."

Abra shudders at being in the presence of Grim once again. She quickly nods and swiftly jogs up the temple steps.



Once they arrive at the Pit of Doom, Abra hangs her head, knowing what would become of Adda and Hanale.



Grim speaks first, "I see the traitors now, sleeping next to a pond in a field of magenta flowers and large trees. We could go now. I will use my booming voice to wake them and appear, commanding them out of the cursed forest."

"Good plan," Abra agrees, "but I'm weary tonight. At sunrise, the traitors will know their fate. We meet then."

"But how are we to capture them?" Ekewaka asks. "According to Elue, Hanale is a strong male. He will not go without a fight."

Abra looks to Grim and he nods. "Grim will give me a potion to allow me to command them with my mouth. They will have to obey."

Ekewaka draws in a breath with her hand over her mouth. "Enchantments. Isn't that bad luck?"

Looking down, Abra sighs. It was a chance she was willing to take.



After their meeting was done, Abra left praying to the Maker for safety. She would need help in the coming hours.
