As the two meditated on the boulders, Lonán reflected on how he’s been handling his conflicts. He dealt with them more inward which apparently, if his memory served him right, was never a good thing according to Beatrix (of course, his grudge against her betrayal of their friendship almost trumped this). However, there was still the fear they wouldn’t get to her in time for when they reached the Fort. That count to him like the grip of a Serpent.

It was then Lonan’s ears picked up sounds. The sounds of crying and screaming. It caused him to freak open an eye and turn to Kyero. ”Did you hear that?” He asked as he got up and began walking towards the source of the noise, which was right on the road. The young Saharan hugged to a large tree to try and conceal his presence as he took a peek around the corner.

“Shut them up. Surely it’s not worth the trouble keeping these people here.” Said a male Lonán looked at the man and his comerades. They wore worn out armor, dark looks about some of them. All the credentials of either would be bounty hunters, or washed up ones desiring to lure out a better quarry. And from the sight of cages, it was sorely the case. These kinds of bounty hunters would capture people suspicious of being related to the bounty, or being guilty of association and used as one thing;

Live bait.

“Of course it’s worth it. These people will lure our prey to us. We’re almost at the site where we set up the trap for ‘em.” Said a gruff, yet more intellectual sounding man. “Now unless you want to be worm food along with our prisoners once we’re done capturing our quarry, stay quiet or the boss will gut you!” Lonán’s grip on the bark of the tree he was hiding behind began to tighten as he heard the crying of small children and women from the cages.

”Now I’m really angry! I’ve got to Help them!” He thought angrily as he began to look for Kyero. He needed to talk to him and formulate a plan against this evil that’s unknowingly crossed their paths ”Thank you Heresta for providing your loyal servant some stress relief!”
