Princess ervilha ran through the woods, jumping over árvore roots, pushing past branches. She couldn't let them murder Conrad. She had grown to care too much about him. Although she was unsure what kind of amor she felt for him, she knew that she loved him. And that was all she needed to know. She arrived to a group of Natives who were on a cliff, surrounding two prisoners...John Smith and Conrad. Both were tied up and bound to the ground. Pocahontas threw herself on to John Smith and yelled at her father, the chief, not to go through with the execution. segundos later, ervilha threw herself onto Conrad.
    "Pea!" Conrad's eyes brightened as though an angel had descended from the heavens. "You're here."
    "Of course I'm here, you doofus," ervilha laughed through her tears, "I would never let something like this happen to you."
    "Pea, there's something you need to know...I've been trying to tell you..." Conrad began but his attention quickly turned to Pocahontas, who was telling her father that she loves John Smith.
    "This is the path I choose, Father," she said with strength and dignity. "What will yours be?"
    A majestic wind pierced the air. After coming to the decision that violence was not the answer, everything seemed resolved. For a moment.
    "Guys!" ervilha screamed. "That fat bastard's aiming his gun at Poca's dad!"
    In the nick of time, John shoved Chief Powhatan out of the way, taking the bullet himself. After some brief mayem, the English settlers arrested the villainous Ratcliffe and prepared to depart back to England.
    "Pocahontas, are you going to see John Smith?" ervilha asked. "They're taking him back to England. He's seriously wounded..."
    "I feel so confused," Pocahontas turned to Pea. "I did what needed to be done. There will be no war...and yet, my problems aren't solved. I have to choose between my one true amor and my family."
    "Well, whatever you decide, you have my best wishes." ervilha hugged Pocahontas. "Remember, family is amor too. Just a different kind. And as our friend Grandmother Willow told us, sometimes the right path is not the easy one."
    "When did you become so wise?" Pocahontas asked with an impressed grin on her face.
    "Well, I had help from a creepy cantar tree..." ervilha laughed. "And a great friend." Her and Pocahontas shared a final hug. "Anyways, I've got to go to the lagoon and talk to Conrad. There's something I need to tell him. Thanks for everything. We'll see each other again hopefully."
    "Goodbye," replied Pocahontas, waving traditionally. She disappeared into the fog.
    Pea hurried to the jangada outside the lagoon, where Conrad was waiting. He looked at ervilha and smiled.
    "Pea," Conrad said. "I can't thank you enough for all that you've done for me."
    "Don't mention it," ervilha said. "You've rescued me before as well if I recall." ervilha wondered if Conrad was going to confess his love. For a moment she thought she saw a glimmer in his eyes that meant he wanted to. Oh, just say it, ervilha thought. I'm not gonna be the one to say if first... "Well, should we get going? It looks like it's about time we bothered someone else. Shall we?" She stepped onto the jangada and he followed. An hora of silence passed, just floating through a stream on a jangada of twigs, on towards the seguinte unknown destination.
    "Pea," said Conrad suddenly.
    "Yeah?" ervilha answered anxiously.
    "There's something I wanna say to you."
    He stopped for a moment, wondering to himself if ervilha could ever see him as mais than a peasant. She answered his pergunta without using a single word.
