"Hey, you two. I get that you're happy, but we need to get going."
Lovelace interrupts my conversation with my mother, but she's right. We need to go.
Yaci and her mother also have a lot to tell each other, but they're already ready for the march. We are the only stragglers.
So, we return to the improvised camp and pick up our stuff.
While we were talking, Lovelace had already broken the collar on Cambucy, so we have another magic user within us.
We don't have the spare time to break all the collars at once, so we're doing it one at a time.

The rest of the journey is uneventful, and one week later we reach Yrasema Oasis.
Everyone there is waiting for us when we arrive. The entire tribe gathered at the entrance of the camp, with the elders at the front.
"Welcome, everyone!"
"Hello, Head Elder."
"Hello, Aurea. I see your raid was successful."
"Indeed. This is my mother, Lillian. Mother, this is the Head Elder of the village, Yara."
