Ashia comes back with Justin both looking worried.


"Innkeeper what does it cost to spend the night here," The man asks.

"Is everything okay?" Brandon asks Ashia

"10 silvers." Jackson says.

"No this place has been protected since my father made this village and now it's being threatened," Ashia says.


"For all of us," The woman with the snake asks.

"Oh, uh... 50 silvers." Jackson says.

Brandon frowns. "I'm sorry." He whispers.
"I'll protect it with you and stand with you no matter what you choose. We all will." Hazel tries to help her friend, but she wasnt a great comforter.

"Very well," The man dug out fifty silvers and gave them to Jackson.


"No I won't risk any more lives. You three make sure the others can escape and keep one another safe if it comes to that," Ashia looks Hazel in the eyes.

Hazel holds Ashia's gaze before nodding. "Of course." She huffs.

"Thank you. Enjoy you're stay and meal." Jackson says, motioning to the table with food now on it.

The woman puts a little bit of food on the floor for the bloodhound.
Catching scent of some creature Copper slithers toward the kitchen.
The five people begin eating.



"Thank you come on there is one last route you need to know about," Ashia motions for them to follow.

Brandon follows, anxious. Matamba butts his leg with her head. Smiling slightly, he patted her head.

Ashia shows them the old willow tree. Taking a deep breath she presses her hand against the trunk revealing a tunnel that had a light at the bottom of it, "This is Wisekeeper chamber of knowelage. You are not to go here unless it is an emergency."

Brandon nods furiously. "Promise."
Hazel nods, "What exactly is down there?"
Sparky keeps quiet, but he nods as well.
