CHAPTER TEN

REN DIDN'T KNOW WHERE THEY were headed, but he felt comfortable around with Kaito-Tanken Shaya, unlike Dai who'd made him feel like a rabbit cornered by an ice wolf. Her long, black hair—kept tightly weaved into one long strand—made his heart race and reminded him of someone he couldn't quite put his finger on.

"You're here for the examination, right?" Shaya asked, keeping her voice low so they could speak in private. Akio stood between the two of them and Dai with his men.

"Um, yes. How could you tell?"

"Why else would a boy from the Pearl Nation be out wandering the markets of our fine city alone? What's your name?"

"Ren." He rung his hands, avoiding eye contact with Shaya. Her sea-green silk tunic clung to her skin, and his face grew warm every time he looked at her.

"What do you think of our city so far?" Shaya asked. "Have you ever seen so many people? I've heard the Pearl Nation is a tiny city with hardly anyone left."

Ren felt his face flush fully, but not from lust. "We're the smallest nation, but at least we're progressing. As far as I can tell, Shinzo is a backwards city. Stuck in the past, with customs and rules not fit for a civilized people. Back home I'd have never been—"

"But you're not home." Shaya crossed her arms across her stomach, drawing further attention to her feminine form.

Ren went to speak, but upon looking at her lost his nerve and looked away.

Shaya laughed at his modesty, and placed an arm on his shoulder, "You'll learn to respect, and even enjoy, your time here. All members of the Amethyst Nation must cast aside their old allegiances and serve Fencura. You'll have to respect all customs."

"I've not joined yet," Ren muttered under his breath.

Dai led the group through a side door, on the northeast side of the Bloody Square. The cool air instantly caused Ren's linen shirt to stick to him, and it took his eyes a moment to adjust to a darkened stone stairwell.
