Chapter 27

Pench Hound Town

The villagers provided them generously for their journey the next morning to the Pench Hound Town. Aisha had pinched some cocoa seeds from one of the women while the others were having their breakfast. It looked like she had temporarily mislaid her memory, until Lukah reminded her that she was going to the Pench Hound Town, soon. Then she turned into an edgy damsel.

Gerome thanked the chief, and those who took care of him. He really felt he owed a debt of gratitude to Harpra, especially Limma. Whether it was a coincidence or a miracle, being saved and being able to stay alive at this point was more than he had ever hoped for. Sweeping his eyes around for Limma, he finally spotted her at the corner. She stood still, seeming outwardly composed. He weaved his way pass through the people to her. Jade had noticed Gerome had gone to Limma. She tried to be oblivious and nonchalant about it and continued to occupy herself with the others.
