Chapter 23

It dropped him on his knees, and he let out a deep breath. He looked upwards and saw a person in a hooded cloak. Four gnomes walked with clothing.

"Narito ang mga basahan ng tao, (Here are human rags)," they said, as they dropped them on the ground.

Edward looked at the 'rags,' which were a clean turtleneck with a denim jacket and jeans.
