Toler opened his eyes slowly and peered through them. The pain in his head throbbed in pulsing waves. He winced. This Photak girl was a strong one… strong and impressive. He had never been taken by anyone before. Not even by the best warriors of the mountains. A part of him wanted to rationalize it. He wanted to believe it was because he had never seen anyone who looked like her before. An unmarked, blue-haired girl.

But… how does she know how to fight like that…?

His head pounded the more he thought about it. It didn’t make sense… not unless she was some kind of…

Photak weapon?!

If that were the case, then he knew his people were in grave danger.

Toler looked around for the Photak. She wasn’t there. He searched for any signs of where she could have gone. His eyes narrowed as he saw broken twigs heading away from the where he had last seen her. He cursed himself. He was stuck to a tree, and no one knew where he was. It could be days before another Skotad came this way, if at all…

The low-lying canopy was Toler’s secret hideout. He would go there whenever he needed time and space to clear his mind. The Photak girl had been the first person he had ever come across in this part of the Greens. It was known to be low in sustenance. He assumed that her presence there possibly meant that she too wanted to get away as much as he did. The question was,

What, or whom, is she running from?

He thought about what he did know. He knew based on her appearance that she was around his age. He knew that her being able to see so well meant she had been Light Blinded for some time. He also knew this based on how calm she seemed to be about the darkness. He knew that she was a very skilled warrior, despite his initial impression. He knew she didn’t like to be teased.

Toler smiled with a small chuckle at how aggravated she had become. As much as his head was killing him with pain, he thought her rage to be a little endearing. He had never met a girl who could knock out a warrior… twice!

“Well, you look pleased with yourself,” she called out as she walked towards him.

It was Toler’s turn to jump.

“I was assessing your many endearing qualities. I’ll add stealthy to the list,” Toler responded grinning.

He had to admit, he felt a bit relieved that she had come back. Being stuck to a tree indefinitely wasn’t how he had planned to spend the next few days.

She walked over to him and placed her pouch by his lips.

“Drink.”

He regarded the pouch suspiciously but then reminded himself that she could kill him at any time.

“In case this is deadly poison and therefore our last moments together, my name is Toler. I hope that name will haunt you for the rest of your life.”

She huffed and shoved the pouch closer. He placed his lips over the pouch’s opening and drank deeply.
