Erik felt weary as he reached the last stop on his return journey from Más Mýrr. Many of his customers had welcomed a second visit; some of them had even sent goods with him to sell on their behalf at the markets, earning him a commission. He’d stopped at many places on his way back to pay his clients what he owed them and to sell more goods that he’d picked up at the markets. It had been a profitable trip and he felt a sense of achievement as he pulled up outside the last house on his run.

He paid the woman of the house for the tapestry she’d sent with him and bought her remaining wooden pegs that hadn’t sold at the markets. She was pleased and bought two wooden bowls from him. He liked to keep his customers happy; once they realized that he was honest and would treat them fairly, they trusted him. He’d kept meticulous records of everything he sold and took on commission and no one felt that he had wronged them in any way. It was a good way to do business. More importantly, it was a faster way to earn the money he needed. His desire to set the young red-haired woman free from Taft had not wavered; he only hoped that she was still there and still alive. Many slaves did not live to be old, either through illness, hardship or mistreatment.

As Erik said goodbye to his last customer, he felt elated that he had achieved his goal. He had earned the money he needed and he had completed the daunting task in a tight timeframe. His next task was to restock his wagon and take the route that led past Taft’s farm. It would be a lot harder; he knew no one on that route and it went through difficult terrain with many water crossings or detours around the fjords. Many people who travelled through that part of the country went by water but that would mean that he was unable to take his goods to the farms. He would be forced to travel overland just as the farmers who lived in those isolated places often did.

But first, he had to stop at his home village for a couple of days. He needed to repair the wagon and restock with some of the goods he had stored there until he needed them. And he had to go to Merilant with a special request.
