Chapter 98

"Those that wish to be numb, that crave indifference, are those that love beyond measure, till it hurts their heart"

~

Wredgeton, the City on the Bridge,

Kingdom of Hyll-Decanta,

Rainy after-noon,

The first Saturnday of the Second month,

Fiftieth Year of the Reign of Adon-Vericus IV

With the elderly woman, Cymone Talindyne, whom he had saved from the robbers in the alleyway, seated upon the saddle, Jehu ushered Nightmare down the avenues of Wredgeton till they had reached the City of Descandville.

The lady gestured the route that led to her house and the company made their way onward. They stopped at a street that neighboured Michavel's cottage. The dark-haired man wondered where her abode was, for there were no cottages in the avenue.

He assisted her as she dismounted the horse, when she was slightly stumbling at her step, for his cloak that she was donned in was much longer than she.
