Continued from part 2a: Several weeks have passed since Rhynna returned to her own village after ridding the neighbouring village of the man-killing raptor. One afternoon Rhynna is walking near to her village when she is startled to see Layreese, naked, approaching her. |

Layreese tells Rhynna she has snuck out of the village to meet her and to praise her on her muscles, her great strength and how happy she was to see her defeating Bon & Kryck. The two women embrace warmly and then sit down on the ground and talk about what happened. Time passes and suddenly Layreese realises that the shadows are growing long and she jumps to her feet saying that she must get back to her village by night fall. Rhynna is stunned and grabs Layreese's arm and tells her she will go with her back to the edge of the village for Layreese's safety. |

Layreese tells Rhynna not to follow and moves away quickly looking unhappy and afraid. But Rhynna is visibly concerned for Layreese's safety, so she follows at a distance as dusk falls on the surrounding landscape. The sun has set when Rhynna comes to Layreese's village. In the dark she has lost visual contact with Layreese, but she has continued to track her from marks on the ground. Rhynna comes upon a fire lit clearing at the outskirts of the village. She enters to see Bon and the chief laughing with Layreese lying off to one side seemingly unconscious. Rhynna angrily enters the clearing. The males back up and Rhynna moves to Layreese's prone body. Kryck, who has been hiding behind some bushes, jumps out and ambushes Rhynna striking her on the back of the head and neck with a large log. |

It is midday the next day and Bon, Kryck and the chief stand facing Rhynna who is bound and stretched naked to 2 sturdy poles in the centre of the village arena. The chief curses Rhynna, telling her that the three males are going to humiliate her and that she isn't so strong now. |
