“It says that the natives in the caves aren’t friendly. That the arboretum—that must be the fruit cave—has been closed off because of attacks. Two women were stolen away and taken to a distant island, and the others were heading into the mountains to avoid them.” “Avoid…them?” “The natives,” Daisy says again. “The ancestors. The ones that were here when the sakh landed. According to that message, they didn’t die out a long time ago. They were still around when the sakh landed here, and they claimed the fruit cave as theirs.” And R’jaal and Tia are missing. Oh, shit.
