55: A runaway kid [pt1]

Keith forced his body to remain tense and upright for as long as he was out in the open. Priestess Athena had given him a room for the duration of his stay and Keith was thankful.

"Dear guest, kindly call upon us if you need anything. We will look after your needs for you."

The person who had led Keith to the room gave a respectful bow while sneaking wide-eyed looks at him. Keith pretended he did not notice the subtle gesture of the teen in front of him.

It had been half an hour by now and everyone in the camp knew who their 'guest' was. Thankfully, no one knew that Keith was the same person who had knocked on their door and been driven out yesterday.

It was all thanks to the magical contract and its usage. Otherwise, Athena would have revealed everything to her people.
