Kalyn’s anxiety grew as the town came into sight and steadily drew closer. As they passed by the fields, she couldn’t help but turn her head and look once more at the people. Her stomach jumped into her throat when she recognized three men from Deepwood. One of them had only been missing a week or so, and was a soon-to-be first time father.

As Kalyn stared, she noticed that all the people dressed in white robes had blank expressions and vacant eyes.

“What have they done to them?” she whispered in horror.

Seth hissed, reminding her to quit staring and keep her mouth shut, even though her gut rattled around like it was full of snakes.

Kalyn kept close to the halfling and followed his lead into town. She did her best to appear unassuming, especially as they passed by several black-cloaked figures and walked through the center of town. A group of white-robed, blank-eyed slaves were working around the fountain, trying to repair a large fallen statue of a snake.

Kalyn peered at the spectacle with keen curiosity. I wonder who broke it?

The young archer risked a quick glance around and noticed several pairs of black-cloaked figures going to and fro from the large stone buildings surrounding the fountain. That was when she noticed how grand the stone buildings appeared. In fact, they were so magnificent that she couldn’t help but stare at them. They were some of the largest buildings she’d ever seen, with tall, beautifully carved pillars and wide sweeping steps leading up to their doors.

“Wow. Nice rock houses,” she whispered.

“Looks dwarvish to me,” Seth remarked softly.

Kalyn glanced at the buildings again.

So, that’s what Dwarf houses look like? I want one. Wonder where I could hire a Dwarf to build me one? I’ll have to ask Seth later where I can find me a Dwarf. I’ll also have to ask him what halfling houses look like. Or do they live in holes?

Seth’s voice shook her from her thoughts. “Looks like a temple.”

She glanced at him, then peered at one of the larger buildings. It had a domed top, and a giant bronze symbol of a serpent hung in the archway of the oversized door. A slight shiver passed up her spine. Whatever god they worshiped there, she was sure she never wanted to meet it.

Kalyn followed Seth as he crossed over to the northern road and left the town behind. As soon as they passed the last building, she spoke up. “What are we doing?”

“I want to get a better look at that cave.”

“Okay… but wouldn’t that be considered a risk? Remember, Fran didn’t want us to take any risks.”

Seth kept his eyes forward, his tone rather sharp as he responded. “Fran ain’t here, and I don’t take orders from her anyway.”

Kalyn raised an eyebrow, but just nodded. “Well, she did say we were to find out what everyone was up against, and we can’t find that out unless we see what’s going on in the cave, too.
