Sleep came to the group and the sun rose. Zoe was the last to awaken. He saw all of the men gathering up their items. He was surprised at the efficiency of the men in cleaning up camp. They were all working having a job that was to be done; they worked as a family of sorts. When Kope saw that Zoe was awakened, he shouted out, loud enough for all to hear, “Well, good to see you have awakened from your slumber.” They all took a quick note and went back to their own work.

When camp was packed the group traveled toward the city. Zoe was kept close to Kope the whole time. They talked about several things of no importance, once again Kope did most of the talking.

Then they fell on the topic of why they were at the city, “Zoe, why are you traveling to this city?”

Zoe became afraid because he was not sure what to say or think. He doubted the men followed the gods of the land, but he also had not expected to give an account of his own wanderings. “Um…I...I um.”

“Don’t worry about it, we all have things we don’t talk about. I don’t need to know what you are about.” Kope paused for a moment and contorted his face with a deeply concerned look. Zoe noticed but was not going to ask anything. Don’t ask and please don’t tell was Zoe’s thoughts on the sudden change of Kope’s disposition. Kope realized Zoe was not going to bring the information out of him, so he spoke, “Zoe, I have been troubled at heart for some time now.” Zoe looked up at him. “I want to share something with you, but you have to hear me out. Will you listen to everything I have to say?”

Zoe nodded without saying a word.

“We are going to a place where our fierce enemies are. There are many of them and we might not live through the next two nights.”

Zoe became confused and for the first time had concern for Kope, “Why would you go to where your enemies are if you might die?”

Kope was hoping for his response, “Because they have stolen from my helpless widowed grandmother. You see I formed this group. They are people from my town. I have brought them together to get back that which was my grandmother’s.”

Zoe wasn’t sure what was so valuable that it would be worth risking your life for, “What did they take?”

“Many things Zoe, but the most important thing they took was her life stone. They came in the midst of the night. They must have had it planned out for sometime, as they knew exactly where things were. They came in undetected and left without a trace.”

Zoe cut him off, “Then how did you know that it was them?”

Kope saw his intelligence, “Ah, you interrupted me. They left undetected but for one man was trapped in an animal trap just outside the cities’ walls. In the morning when we found out what had happened, we came to see if there were any clues to follow.
