her fingers on the map then looked to Daniel.
“Daniel,” she said, getting everyone’s attention. “Do you have any idea how you’re going to ask humans to consider coexisting peacefully with us yet? I mean, do you know how you’re going to bring up such an idea with them?”
Daniel looked at her curiously then up in thought while crossing his arms.
“Hmm, I’m not quite sure yet,” he speculated. “At the very least we need more examples of monsters wanting the same thing before our leaders would even consider it.”
“Well,” Alyssa continued with a shrug. “If we’re going to find Luna and Emily, I don’t think we have a choice but to ask Eston for help.”
“What?” Specca questioned. “But we just went over how that would be a terrible idea. They’ll kill Luna and perhaps even us when they see that we’re monsters.”
“I know that, but we don’t have any other choice,” Alyssa reasoned looking down at the map. “We need help, and they’re the only ones around here we can ask. Look, we have a monster out there trying to help save a human child, maybe that will be enough to convince the village to at least spare her life if they find her. Maybe.”
“I don’t know,” Daniel said worriedly. “If we ask Eston for help we could be killing Luna in the process.”
“True,” Alyssa admitted. “But we need their help, and a monster is trying to save a human child as we speak. Daniel, this is as good as any time to try talking to your own kind about trusting monsters, we need their help searching The Outerlands for them.”
Daniel looked at the map with unease, wondering if he enlisted the help of a human village to search for Emily that he would be sentencing Luna to death in the process. Specca looked at the map carefully then sighed and glanced to Falla.
“She may be right,” she reluctantly agreed. “That village is the only chance we have at getting help with finding those two, and perhaps this would be a good example of monsters trying to help humans to get them to see reason.”
Triska and Squeak looked to Daniel and waited for his reaction, the boy thinking carefully about his options. After a while he slowly nodded while looking at the village on the map.
“I guess we don’t have a choice. We can’t keep circling around The Outerlands like this in search for them. We need help, and they’re the only ones we can ask.”
“Do you think they’ll spare Luna’s life though?” Triska asked. “What if they kill her on the spot when they find her?”
“We’ll have to hope Daniel can convince them to give Luna a chance,” Alyssa reasoned with a confident smile at Daniel. “If anyone can do it though it would be him.”
Daniel smiled slightly from that compliment and hoped he could indeed convince the village to at least spare Luna’s life for all that she’s done.
“Alright, then that’s what we’ll do.”
“So should we keep going towards Eston?” Triska asked. “We could be there in about an hour or so if we go now.”
Alyssa shook her head and looked to Daniel with a sweet smile.
“No, it’s getting late. We should make camp here and head to the village in the morning.”
“What?” Triska questioned. “But the sooner we tell the village about Emily the sooner they can start searching for her.” She blinked then showed Alyssa a dull stare.
“Right, you just want your date with Daniel,” she remembered with a flat tone.
“Hey,” Alyssa snapped back. “I’ve waited patiently for my turn with him, I’ve earned it.”
“Okay,” Triska said crossing her arms. “You tell Falla we’re putting off saving her sister and the child just so you can spend a night with Daniel.”
Specca and Squeak looked over to seeing Falla pacing back and forth on the seat of the caravan while crying and mumbling something to herself in her panic.
“I’m not sure she’ll like that idea too much,” Specca commented, with Squeak shaking her head to
