The group awoke with the sun the following morning, each rising and taking care of their personal needs. Meena poured water for them to wash and provided bread and dried fruit for their breakfast.

Watching her as she moved, Piers felt as if a rock had settled in his gut. He had so many conquests to his name, young and old, and he preferred the young. There had been few who could resist his charm.

Speaking with the wan into the early hours of morn, he had shared far more of himself than he ever had before, given her parts of his past even the others in his company had never heard. Accepting his basin to scrub, he smiled down at her, a flutter of happiness sparked by the green flecks in her eyes.

“Where shall we go to gather what we need?” he asked, then washed his face and pulled his hair back into the scrunch, fastening it at the top of his neck.

“We have a market,” she supplied, helping herself to a small plate of the food. “We can’t all visit, though. Amicia definitely will need to remain here. As the siren. The rest of you may come, but we must be careful.”

Donning the robe and hood they had fashioned for Rey, Animir joined Piers and Meena as they slunk down her stone steps and marched along the path. Making a few turns, they arrived in a large market, where a vast open area filled with small stalls spread before them, the roof made of large beams such as those that had protected the spring from the harsh sun.

Some of the cubicles had wooden or reed roofs, while others were open to the sun and sky above. The air stifling around them, most of the people wore the coverings, and Piers felt glad that they had sacrificed one of their blankets to make them. Arriving at their first stop, he pulled the fourth of their elven goblets from his bag and placed it on the table in the center of a short round merchant’s stall.

“How much for my elf cup?” he asked, noting the man appeared to be sizing him up.

“Thirty pieces,” the wizard replied.

“Come now, you know it is worth three times that,” Meena intervened with a shake of her head.
