Rajiv

You are a girl from the Kaija tribe. That was before you left. Two years have passed since you left the tribe.

Your tribe was at odds with the Amsa tribe, whose leader was Rajiv. While fleeing from him and his subordinates, you taunted him about his inability to capture you. During your final confrontation, he shouted:

• Damn girl, one day I'll catch you, and you'll seriously regret every word you said!

While running from Rajiv yet again, you tripped and fell. At that moment, a knife was at your throat, and behind the trees stood people from an unfamiliar tribe—you were ambushed.

In an instant, the man who had held the knife to your throat fell dead—an arrow had pierced him. Then you heard Rajiv's cry:

"Run to me!" His tone was menacing, commanding. But did you hear any concern in it?

You were dumbfounded, but when you saw people starting to run out from behind the trees, you ran into Rajiv's arms.

Once in his arms, he ordered his subordinates to deal with them. You didn't remember how you reached the camp and fell asleep in his arms with him.

Rajiv was startled when he woke up and didn't find you in his arms. But when he saw you sitting up, he approached you from behind.

"I was scared when I didn't see you. I thought you'd run away," his voice was tired, not rough.
