Hummingbird greeted Ziszya with a bow.
"Highness," she said, "This little one is strong, even without magic. She could be of great use-i am wiling to train her."
Ziszya looked down at Ash.
"She would need to learn to respect the jungle, Hummingbird..."
"I know, but i could teach her! Please, let us no longer treat this mare as an outsider!"
"Very well, but you will be responsible for her actions until she is proven worthy to be one of us."
"As you wish."
Ziszya turned to Ash. "Your sentence is suspended if you agree to become an apprentice of our tribe. Hummingbird will be your mentor. Do you agree?"
