The whole morning Rhett and Sabrina constructed the two cabinets, one for their chamber and one for Amara.

They were having fun working together on their latest project.

Sabrina is an attentive girlfriend, wiping the sweats that appeared on Rhett's brows and also giving him water now and then.

The couple finished constructing two simple cabinets before lunchtime.

They examined their handiwork.

Sabrina was delighted by the finished product. "Not bad! I will clean it now so that I can put our clothes on it later!" she said excitedly.

"Alright, I'll help you clean the two cabinets," Rhett offered.

The couple worked together.

After cleaning, Rhett brought the cabinet to Amara's chamber.

Amara smiled happily. "Wow! Guys, thank you so much for making a cabinet for my clothes! I'm so touched right now. I think I would cry," she said, teary-eyed.

Sabrina smiled. "Don't cry. We're not done yet. We are about to make the door for your room after lunch," she said.

Amara's eyes lighted up with gratitude and said, "Thank you again, guys!"

"Alright, you can put your clothes in the cabinet, it's ready to use 'coz I already clean it," Sabrina said.

"Okie dokie!" Amara said and began putting her clothes inside the cabinet.

"See you later," Sabrina said.

The couple left Amara in her chamber.

Amara released a deep sigh, the guilt is now weighing heavily in her mind.

...

After lunch, Olga and Azere exited the hut and went to the cave to bid farewell to the people in the cave.

They walked on the path leading to the cave.

"Do you think Mother will get angry that we insisted to go to the Holybel Summit just to beg her to let go of the two women trapped in the cave?" Azere asked.

"Of course! She will get mad but she won't kill us for sure!" Olga replied.

They finally reached the cave.

Azere placed the basket on the rock. She looked at what the wolf was doing on the ground.

"What's that for, lad?" she asked.

Rhett was constructing a door skeleton in front of the cave. "It's for Amara's chamber, Grandma," he replied.

"Ah, okay..." Azere said and looked at Sabrina inside the cave. "We're leaving now for our trip. Take care of each other. Bye, kids!" she said.

"Bye, Grandma! Bye, Aunt Olga!" Sabrina said gloomily.

Rhett bid farewell to the two ladies. "Bye Grandma, bye Aunt! Take care of yourself out there," he said.

Azere gave the house key to Rhett. "Just take whatever supply you see there in the hut and there's money in the drawer on the table in my room, you can use it to buy stuff in the market. Don't forget to water my vegetable garden. You can also harvest green leafy vegetable there. Take care of everything while we're away. We will return soon!"

"Thanks, Grandma," Rhett spoke.

"Bye kids!" Olga said, waving her hand at the couple.

"Bye Bye!" the couple replied in unison.

Olga and Azere vanished from their eyes in the blink of an eye.

Rhett noticed the sadness on his girlfriend's face. "What's wrong? Why are you looking so sad?" he asked and entered the cave. He went to her side and hugged her.

"I dunno... why I feel so sad when Grandma said goodbye. I feel like I will never see her again," Sabrina said, teary-eyed.

Rhett sighed. "Don't be sad anymore. They will return soon. Besides, I'm still here..." he said, rubbing her back gently, comforting her.

Sabrina shut her eyes for a few seconds trying to stop the tears from falling on her face. "Go back to your work now," she said.

"Will you be okay here?" Rhett asked worriedly.

"Yes, I am..." Sabrina replied.

"Okay," Rhett said and planted a kiss on her head. He left Sabrina's side and went back to his work.

Half an hour later.

Rhett took a break and ate lunch with Sabrina in the chamber.

After they finished eating, Rhett resumed working on the door while Sabrina was watching him inside the cave.

Two hours later.

The door was finally done.

Rhett brought the finished door to Amara's chamber.

"The door is finally here!" Sabrina announced.

"Wow! Nice!" Amara beamed.

Rhett spends another half-hour installing the frame and casing for the door.

Amara looked at the couple in tandem, genuine gratitude flashing in her eyes.

A few minutes later.

The door was finally installed and functioning properly.

"Your door is done!" Sabrina told Amara happily.

"Wow! I finally have a door!" Amara gushes in delight. "Thank you so much, guys! You're simply an amazing couple!" she said, clapping her hands jubilantly.

"You're welcome!" Sabrina said with a smile.

"Thank you so much, Rhett!" Amara said.

Rhett only nods his head.

The couple exited the room after making sure the door functioned properly.

Amara was left alone in the chamber sighing heavily.

...

Sabrina and Rhett were resting and cuddling on the bed.

"I'll go to the hut to check for available food there, then I'll bring the supply here so that you can cook something for our dinner," Rhett said.

"Okay," Sabrina replied.

Two hours later.

Rhett and Sabrina went to the entrance of the cave.

"Don't forget to pick up some leafy vegetable from the garden," Sabrina said.

"I will!" Rhett replied and stepped outside.

Sabrina watched her boyfriend walking on the path leading to the hut, holding the basket in his hand.

Half an hour later.

When Rhett returned to the cave, the two baskets were already filled with green leafy vegetables and assorted stuff such as salt, cooking oil, dried meat, rice, and etcetera.

Sabrina inspected the contents of the basket. "Nice! We can make two meals out of out of these ingredients!" she spoke.

"I will gather firewood while you cook our dinner," Rhett said.

"Okay," Sabrina replied.

Rhett exited the cave and walked towards the wooded area.

Sabrina carries the basket back to the chamber.

She went to Amara's room. "Wanna join me in cooking our dinner?" she asked.

Amara looked at the basket filled with green leafy vegetables. "I love to! After you!" she responded and left the bed.

Sabrina exited the chamber followed by Amara.

They went to the clearing nearby and began the meal preparation.

One hour later, the women finished cooking the food for dinner.

By 6:00 in the evening, they were already eating their meals in their respective chamber.

Amara accompanied Sabrina to the stream. They washed the dirty dishes together.

Rhett stood nearby, guarding the ladies.

...

That evening.

After eating dinner.

The couple went to the entrance of the cave to do stargazing but was greeted by the heavy rain outside the cave. They decided to return to their chamber and cuddle on the bed because it's dark outside and they can't see the stars in the sky.

At 9:45, the couple was already sleeping soundly on the bed.

Amara on the other hand was still wide awake, staring at the ceiling. 'I need to go somewhere!' she said.

A few minutes later - she disappeared from the chamber in the blink of an eye.

Two hours before midnight...

Amara suddenly appeared back on her bed. She already made the preparation. She will complete her mission anytime this week.

She was about to lie down and sleep when she heard 'them' calling her name. She left the bed and slowly opened the door and walked towards the entrance of the cave.

The rain has finally stopped.

There... outside the cave... floating in the air are five flashing lights.

'The Priestess wants to pass her command. She wants you to finish your mission within this week!' one of the flashing lights spoke.

Amara released a deep sigh. "I got it!" she replied. "Leave at once!" she commanded.

The flashing lights flew away and disappeared above the wooded area.

Amara returned to her chamber and lie down on the bed thinking about her mission.

She will do it tomorrow!

Tomorrow night, she will complete her mission!

She closed her eyes to sleep.

Holybel Summit.

Olga and Azere already arrived at the mountain in the early afternoon.

But the guards told them that the people there are busy with the tournament and no one can face them yet to answer their inquiries.

Olga pouted up a storm. Stomping her foot on the floor. "My goodness! We've been waiting here since 4:00 in the afternoon and what time is it now? Midnight already! And soon, we will see the break of dawn in the horizon! Until now, no one cares to see us! How incompetent and inconsiderate these people are!? They don't have good manners, to think that we have come from a far away land!" she whined.

Azere released a deep sigh. They were currently housed in a hut erected beside a beautiful lake with crystal clear water. They were given meals earlier and the guard told them to say in the hut for the time being until there's someone from the castle who can attend to them. "Why don't you sleep? Even if you complain until morning no one can hear you. I'm trying to get some sleep but I can't - because you're too noisy!" she scolded her.

Azere roamed her eyes at their surrounding. The hut was equipped with a single room and a tiny kitchenette. The room has no bed, but there are ready-to-use mats, blankets, and pillows.

At the top of the mountain was a big castle surrounded by trees, clouds, and more mountains as far as the eyes can see.

The guards told them not to leave the hut and wander around the area without their permission because there are some areas in the mountain that visitors are prohibited to enter.

If they venture outside and were caught by the guards - they will be punished heavily!

Azere looked at her moody companion, still pacing back and forth near the window, looking at the castle looming at the top of the mountain. "Sleep now! We're not royalties or special guest that they have to attend to right away, so calm down and go to sleep!" she ordered, annoyed.

Olga began yawning. "Fine!" she said and lie down beside Azere on the mat.

The women shut their eyes to sleep.

A few minutes later, they drifted into slumber and fall asleep soundly.

Unknown to them, a big surprise was already waiting for them in the morning when they wake up.
