The news of Haden and Rion waking up spread throughout the tribe, and the tribe members, who were waiting to see them, demanded that Marin and Valak hold a celebration feast.
However, Marin and Valak shut them off, not because they did not want to celebrate but because none of them knew where Rion was.
After staying with Dora for a day, Rion had unexpectedly disappeared from Zaelyane's hut, and the only person who could tell them about his current location, Haden, refused to disclose anything, telling them to begin the preparations and wait for his return.
Even though they wanted to ask further, they stopped themselves and commanded the tribe members to start the preparations.
Thus, the preparations for a feast much grander than Rion's began and the red and black mountains were once again filled with activity.
And while all of this was taking place in the Redwood Basin, a few kilometres away from it, Rion sat cross-legged within his cave.
