We Ride

Kailus nods at Venya in thanks and mounts up, sighing to himself at his turn of fortune. Now, he was no more that a scout to a band of expendable mercenaries, according to the words of Ibn al Saif. At one time they would all be bowing to him.

He continued to follow the tracks as best he could. "I don't expect an ambush, it has been three days so it is unlikely that the culprits even expect anyone to be chasing them now, but don't let your guard down just in case." he warns the group.

"And if we meet anyone on the way. don't mention anything about our purpose, we are just caravan guards..." he suppressed another sigh, " scouting out the area for water and food to supplement our supplies."

"The people we are looking for will be going about their daily lives. They would have changed, rested and look like ordinary folk for all we know. We should not tip our hands to our purpose."
