The twins, Haya and Laya made their way through the wooded hills.
“Mum said we should never come this way,” Laya scolded.
“But it’s a lot shorter, and it’s a hot day,” Haya retorted, adjusting the heavy bundle of supplies on her shoulder.

“Why should we?” Haya queried. She then set down her bundle and began to make faces at the slumbering giants, just as the moon began to eclipse the sun.
