Onyx kept leading Tarentek while they talked. "Yes, it is very personal, but it is more special because of the presence of so many in the tribe. As for my rival, I believe I know who it might be." Onyx paused for a moment. "The rivals have to agree to the bond as well, because they may see someone else as their rival. The point of the bond of blood is to tie those two together with a promise that no matter the affairs between them, they will always work together for the good of the tribe." 

They got to the end of the bridges, and now only had to find the scouting group. As Onyx looked around, she asked Tarentek a question. "You say you have celebrations for many different things, what are they like? Most of our rituals have a set purpose, so they follow a strict pattern and tradition that we rarely ever change."
