The question struck like a hammer. Jonas fell silent. He glanced around, hoping for a miracle.Then, through the thick, stifling silence, a weak voice called out from behind.Ayoka.She was being helped forward, her wounds still bandaged. She stumbled, unsteady, but her eyes burned with clarity. She stepped straight into the circle of fire, looked at Jonas, then turned to the elders. Her voice was raspy, each word heavy but firm:"He saved me. If not for him, I would be dead."The valley erupted. Some warriors stared in disbelief. Others growled in protest. The elders exchanged tense looks.The old chief draped in his deer-skinned cloak, who had remained silent until now, slowly rose to his feet. His gaze pierced through both Jonas and Ayoka. His voice rumbled:"If the words of this daughter are true, then the one who sought her death is not you. But you have interfered with our fate. From this day forward, you are no longer an outsider. You will prove with blood who the real enemy is."Jonas swallowed hard, his heartbeat pounding in his ears. He understood. The true trial was still ahead. And it would be a battle of life and death, where truth would be paid for in fire and blood.The fire in the valley crackled and popped, casting flickering light across the angry faces of the elders. The tension in the air was thick, as if a single verdict could spill blood in an instant. Jonas stood in the circle of ropes, sweat rolling down his temples, but his eyes never dropped.
