Chapter II (Part 9)
OK, the time has come to learn how Adila is doing. Did she manage to reach Ilderin? What will she do there?
Here is a beginning of the third section of this chapter:
***
Adila glanced at the sea. They have finally reached the south of Burhan. For the last two month, Hazim led her through the continent, using various vehicles, false permissions and passes they needed, for Ilderins' soldiers controlled all movements on the continent; and sometimes it was even necessary to carefully avoid the guards altogether. Hazim was skilled and experienced and Adila listened to him without question wherever it was needed. She learned to follow him soundless like a shadow. It was not the only thing he thought her. Strangers were not welcome on Ilderin and the only way for a stranger to get there was to be a prisoner, and even that happened only when important personalities were in question, except when prisoners were needed for non-automated plants at the icy parts of the continent, far south. They have learned that there were imprisoned Adems there and they considered the possibility that Jelil was there too. The plan was to present themselves as Ilderins. Hazim knew their culture and language and that was not a problem for him. For the last two month, Adila was learning to act in Ilderins' manners and to speak Ilderinian language without an accent. It was more important that she learns several key phrases completely right, then to speak excellently, but so that one can feel a stranger. Hazim would do most of the talking anyway. She had to understand what is being said to her and, when it is absolutely necessary, to say some polite phrases.
They slipped in as stowaways. Hazim made sure to get them contra-seekers so that the ship's scanners wouldn't detect them. There were in for several hours of staying still in the cargo hold. Hazim used that to check her knowledge again. After a while he nodded his head, pleased.
- Considering the time we had at hand, you've improved well at Ilderinian. Still, you must not relax too much. If you turn as little attention at yourself as possible, I think you could pass as a girl from Ilderin quite well.
Adila smiled proudly. Hazim rarely gave praises. His evaluations were always rigorously realistic. That is why she was very pleased for his acknowledgment of her improvement.
- I must say I expected less. You seemed as a person who lived surrounded by care and who wouldn't manage to do well under pressure.
These two month he spent in her company made Hazim truly start to admire her steadiness and endurance. Her feelings for that young man must have been very strong. He decided that he will never leave her let her down, and that he will be of help to her until she finds him. He will not leave her side until he sees them together.
- Hazim?
- Yes?
- Why don't you have a pupil?
Hazim laughed.
- I am not a mentor.
- Oh? You're a pupil? I thought pupils always follow their mentors.
- Not all Burhans are pupils or mentors. Only those whose mental abilities pass the preliminary check are prepared to be mentors. Other Burhans dedicate to many different professions and they can be very successful at what they do.
- So, what do you do?
- Are you bored?
- I'm asking to much, am I? Sorry. We were traveling together for quite some time, yet I didn't have the opportunity to learn anything about you.
- I know nothing about you, either.
- True, but if you had asked me, I would have told you.
