Chapter II
We have reached the end of Chapter II. For those that didn't manage to get into the story, I have posted a short description of Chapter I on my website, as well as full Chapter I and Chapter II. I hope to add a description of Chapter II in a day or two, and I am working on a character list, too.
I will post Chapter III after I fully translate it. In the meantime, I will post parts of it here.

Chapter II /Section 5/ (Part 16)

      Adila remembered Burhans' interest for Jelil and decided that this was a good moment to ask Hazim about it.
      - Why is everybody so interested in finding Jelil?
      - Everybody?
      - It was unusual to me that Burhans want to help me at all. But, if your purpose is to reach Jelil, then I am a good excuse to play do-gooders not revealing a true reason of your interest to anyone. And that further means that not even all Burhans must know of your interest. Even those belonging to your order, for I doubt ordinary people have idea what you are doing anyway.
      Hazim became serious.
      - I always claimed you are a smart little girl for someone who was raised surrounded by honesty and trust.
      - Don't avoid an answer. What does Jelil know that everybody finds so interesting?
      - I cannot answer that question for you. I can only guarantee you that we do not want to hurt him.
      - Your task. Your task is to find Jelil and learn what he knows?
      Hazim waved his head.
      - My task is to PROTECT what he knows.
      This answer confused Adila.
      Burhans knew what Jelil was hiding? And they wanted to prevent that from falling into the hands of Ilderins?
      - You said you failed to complete your task.
      - Ilderins caught Jelil and took him away, did they not?
      - You brought him to Zibia?
      - I thought he would be safe there. Zibia would not let Ilderins come to your continent without permission.
      - That is why Ilderins made sure they get permission.
      Adila's voice sounded sad. Hazim regretted telling her so much. But he needed her trust to be able to take her to Adem, and he swore to himself that he will take her to Jelil, no matter where he was.
      - Do not be sad. There was one person you met, who acted completely without any personal interest, only out of pity for you and a wish to help you find the one you fight so fiery for.
      Adila looked at him, expecting him to tell her who was the person in question.
      - Do you remember the mentor you met on a day Jelil was taken away?
      How could she not remember him? He gave her hope. He was very kind to her and gave her a chance to start her search for Jelil.
      - Not many people are let into what Jelil knows. This mentor asked a help for you only because he appreciated your strength and a depth of your feelings. I was there when he made his request. Without my task, it would have been rejected. Do not lose faith in good people in this world that help others without any personal interests, Adila.
      Adila smiled thankfully.
      - I must prepare for the trip.
      She left Hazim and went to her room. She forgot all about lunch. He was glad he managed to encourage her. He didn't want to break her spirit. It was too rare and valuable. He asked himself what Jelil felt for Adila. He was afraid it could happen that she went through this entire voyage only to learn that he has forgotten her and that he never felt anything for her, except that her company was pleasant to him, as it was to anyone who met her.
