                  “the way you move… it is almost… almost as if you were a wild one”. Sag’s words made me hold my breath for a moment. Why would he say that? He knew it was forbidden for the civilized to move like the wild ones. I did not tell him, I knew he was doing that with Emerdi. Yet, for him to accuse me of something so wrong, that he himself committed.
                  “why would you say such a thing?” I asked him.
                  “don’t be scared” he grinned “I will not tell anyone”.
                  “There is nothing to tell Sag” I said.
                  “I see, I made you upset” he said to me “let me make it up to you… come by the lake this afternoon, I prepared something for you.” Sag walked away and left me there, curious.
     
                  “I see you are not wasting any time…”
    Sag froze and looked back
                  “who is there?” he shouted.
                  “You don’t recognize my voice?” she asked as she came out of the shadows. It was Emerdi. She came back home for a short vacation.
                  “My love…” Sag whispered “I have missed you so much”.
                  “It does not look that way” Emerdi said. She heard Sag’s words to me and got really mad.
                  “I thought that was our plan?’ Sag asked.
                  “I thought you were going to trust me and wait for me to find a better solution.” she answered with a bitter voice.
                  “did you?” he asked while his eyes walked through Emerdi’s curved body.
                  Emerdi did not answer. she just looked into his eyes and smiled. Sag smiled back. They both knew it. They had the perfect solution.
     
                  The sun came half way down and Shadea and I started walking towards the lake. As we were walking, the trees were moving in an edgy way, like they were trying to warn me. Shadea kept growling at me, I thought she was trying to warn me about an upcoming storm.
                  “It is all good Shadea, we’ll just meet with Sag and then go straight home, I promise” I was trying to calm her down but she did not stop growling until she finally roared. It was the first time I ever heard my cat roaring. My sweet Shadea, if only I have listened to you.
     
                  “Hello, little diamond” I looked up and saw my big sister standing by the lake with Sag.
                  ‘I told you, I have prepared something for you. Surprise!!!” Sag pointed at my sister.
                  “I did not know you were back” I said to her, still preoccupied with Shadea’s behavior.
                  “just for a few days. a little break from Eygra- Rama. Little sister, we are going to have so much fun. haven’t you missed me?” she asked with a smile.
                  “I have missed you Emerdi” and I was not lying. Although she was not nice to me and she took away all Sag’s attention, I was really happy to have my big sister back home.
                  Emerdi put her arm around me and we started walking by the lake. Sag took Shadea with him, since she was restless. I thought it would be fine- Sag was practically family, Emerdi was my sister- nothing could go wrong. 
                  It was a long walk till we got to kingdom square. This was the place where all citizens were gathered together on their free time. The square was filled that afternoon. Almost everybody was there. We could barely move. Emerdi said, I should go up on the little stage, that was placed in the center.
                  “Everyone is here” she said “go on, show them your dance.. I promise, I will not tell mother.” she whispered to me and smiled.
