Chapter Twenty-Eight

They walked inside and headed for the Caravan Master's office first. As they passed through the open doorway of the office, Alex saw Taiya, Arban, Janx and Master Kev sitting around a table with worried looks on their faces.

Taiya saw him first. She rushed over to him and looked over him critically to see if he was injured.

“You caught the spy!” Arban said as his face broke into a wide grin. He gave Alex a nod.

“Blood! Are you hurt?” Taiya asked as she took his arm and examined it.

“It’s not my blood. I’m fine,” Alex said.

“Who is the spy working for?” Master Kev asked sternly.

“I am not a spy,” Zura said as she raised her gloved hands up and pushed her hood back.

“Lady Zura!” Master Kev said in surprise as he hastily stood up.

The others in the room were equally stunned by the presence of the White Witch.

“What is the meaning of this? Why were you following my people?” The Caravan Master asked with a confused look on his face.

Lady Zura tilted her head up.

“The city of Kargosk is in turmoil. I was out seeking knowledge,” she answered coldly.

“Arban and I were doing the same thing. Why did you run from us?” Alex asked.

“The fewer people know what you are doing, the easier it is to move and gather information,” she said with a shrug of her shoulders.

“Why are the White Witches concerned with the troubles in Kargosk?” Master Kev asked.

“The affairs of the White Witches are of their own concern,” Lady Zura said haughtily.

She turned and left the room like a queen taking her leave from her throne room. Alex watched her go. The fact that no one said anything to her as she left, spoke volumes about the respect and fear people had about the White Witches.

Alex walked over to the table and sat down. Taiya followed and sat next to him.

“I lost you in that maze of streets. Then I heard the whistles of the City Watch. I was worried that they were after you. What happened?” Arban asked as Master Kev sat back down again.

“I chased the spy... Lady Zura that is, though I didn’t know it until later. I came around a corner and saw her lying on the ground. There were three thugs around her. I wasn’t sure if they had killed her.

“I suppose they wanted to rob her and then me as well. They attacked me, but I was able to take care of them,” Alex explained.

The Orc nodded proudly at his words.

“What about the whistles that Master Arban heard?” Janx asked.

“The sound of the fight roused a woman in one of the nearby houses. She yelled for the Town Watch,” Alex replied.

“How did you avoid them?” Master Kev asked curiously.

“Lady Zura was still unconscious, so I threw her over my shoulder and started running. I ran into another patrol and turned down a dead end alleyway.

“Luckily, with my Strength, I was able to reach the roof of one of the one-story buildings.
