Chapter II
/Section 1/ (Part 2)
- We'll send a delegation to the capital first thing tomorrow to file a complaint to the Grand Council. Everyone was more than willing to help. I will contact some of my friends from the city, too.
Professor Ulfet was an acknowledged biologist, the best in his branch and highly respected. His word had a meaning even when he spoke of something other then biology. He hurried home to complete what he intended to do, but not before giving an encouraging smile to Adila. But she didn't feel very encouraged. How long will it take before the Grand Council takes their complaint into consideration? How long will it be considered? Efen if it's accepted, what measures will be taken, except that the border control will, perhaps, be increased? What will happen to Jelil in the meantime? She wandered around in a low spirit. She didn't even watch where she was going. She couldn't get lost. She knew these areas too well. She went quite far from a little town. The sun was already touching the peaks of the western mountains when she noticed two Burhans coming slowly down the path. Burhans often visited Zibia. They always traveled in pairs. The only thing she knew about them was that a mentor and a pupil traveled together for a pupil to learn of new places and cultures, so that he could broaden his views. After their continent fell in the hands of Ilderins, Burhans that found themselves on other continents lowered their activities not to turn the attention of the occupying army to themselves. They supposedly connected with other free Burhans and are working secretly against their conquerors. Suddenly, Adila got an idea that seemed so crazy, that it might even work. She approached Burhans. Her heart was beating like crazy, but she had no intention to back out. She addressed the older one, supposing he was a mentor.
- Excuse me; can I have a short word with you?
Such a stupid sentence. They'll think I'm nuts.
Two men glanced at each other while Adila fret expecting to see their reaction to her address. It was known that Burhans are closed and that they never enter in a conversation with strangers. To Adila's surprise, mentor spoke to her very politely.
- It seems that you have a problem, miss. Can we be of assistance in some way?
Now comes the hardest part. How can she explain her wish to them in a way that will not awake mistrust? She inhaled slowly.
- I have to find a way to go to Ilderin.
Burhans looked at each other in amazement. Adila hurried to explain.
- You are known as travelers. You must know of some way to get there. I simply must go to Ilderin!
She was becoming desperate.
This will never work. Why would they help me? But, if they don't help me, I'll have no one else to turn to! Jelil will probably be killed before Zibia tries to help him! If that happens at all! I don't know what to do anymore! I don't know what to do!!!
Mentor looked at her seriously, and then smiled a little.
- What could a young Zibian girl like you search for on Ilderin?
- A friend. A good friend that was taken by Ilderins today.
Her look begged. Mentor looked at her suspiciously.
- A friend? Are you sure that friend means nothing more to you?
Adila was caught by this question. She was not sure what to answer. Jelil was her friend. A very good friend she liked very much. Was he anything more? Mentor observed her carefully for a few moments, and suddenly said:
- If you still want to go to Ilderin tomorrow, come to this place. My pupil will wait for you and lead you to some people that can be of help to you.
Burhans bowed shortly to greet her and continued going their way. Adila wanted to thank them, but she remained speechless. She was too much surprised that they agreed to help her. She hurried home with a quick pace. She wondered how her father will react when she tells him about her intention. She didn't intend to hide anything from him. There were never secrets among them.
And there never will be, she firmly decided.
