By the time Fadelio had returned to the mouth of the cave, he saw Atau carry the last of the treasures out into the open. Before the warrior’s eyes, a mountain of barrels and chests had been loaded onto what was left of their cart. At least the duke’s men had known enough decency to leave the donkey alive. It would make their next journey much easier, though he didn’t know yet where it would lead them.
"Where is Master?" Fadelio asked the bearded southerner as he came forward.
"Corco’s still inside, mixing some stuff together again. Here, help with that."
Atau pointed down to the chest by his feet, the last treasure they had to load up before they were ready to depart. Together, the two men grabbed onto the box and, with heavy groans, carried it up onto the worn wood planks. Still out of breath, Atau nodded in gratitude.
"So, now what?" he asked as he turned around and took a heavy seat next to the chest.
"Now, we go back to Etra," Corco answered from behind.
Fadelio turned and found both Corco and Brym standing by the cave entrance. The prince carried a bowl filled with a white substance in his left, but Fadelio never even registered his master’s shield hand. He could only look towards his right, where the prince held his own pony tail, cut off from his head.
"Master..." Fadelio muttered in shock.
