Training 5: Himaphan Jungle

The next day's training had Siwanna grinning like a madman as he led Hank and Jamela to the outskirts of the magical Himmapan Jungle.

"You two are in for a real treat today!" he announced, rubbing his hands together gleefully. "We're going to put those teamwork and survival skills to the ultimate test."

Jamela eyed the looming treeline warily. "Please don't tell me you're marching us straight into that nightmare forest?"

"'Fraid so, my dear Jamimi!" Siwanna clapped Hank heartily on the shoulder. "Our handsome boy here can attest to the Himmapan's...lively inhabitants."

Hank shot Jamela a lopsided grin at the mention of his recent adventure procuring the Kinnari's feather. "Don't worry, partner. I'll keep you safe from any harm."

Jamela felt her cheeks warm at the casual endearment, stuffing her hands into her pockets to keep from fidgeting.

"Yeah, yeah, just try to resist getting sidetracked this time, Feather Boy."
