The pair walked past the guardhouse. When they reached some distance from the border watch, the bard turned to the man.

“Have you any idea about the region?”

“Only what the map of Encratas indicated. Constance appears on it. It’s a city some distance away, on the shores of a large lake. The area is marked as Farel, but I didn’t know if it referred to the region or a kingdom,” answered Pavel.

“Now we know it’s a kingdom and from the hints dropped back there, engaged in a war or wars of some kind. You’re serious about that mercenary crap?” inquired the bard.

“Of course not. It’s a decent cover story, and I suppose we should stick to it. Keeps away the riffraff and minor scum,” answered the Azat. “But you’d better practice, Sheqer. A bard might be asked to sing a tune or two wherever we find ourselves.”

“Can I choose what to sing?” asked the demon. Somehow, the question put the man on guard.

“Only happy, lewd, funny, or dancing ones, bard,” warned Pavel. “And no dancing-till-they-die ones, either.”

“Damn. I was so looking forward to performing songs so frightening that they’d all shit and piss in their underwear. The sight of listeners jumping through windows in sheer fright would have been enormously entertaining,” said Sheqer with disappointment, staring at his lute.

If one were to look closely at the musical instrument the demon carried, its yellowish hue and excellent ivory-like material would have raised suspicions about its nature. A magical spell would have revealed that it was made of human bones. Babies, in fact.
