Two weeks after his slaughter of the slavers, Kir was depressed.
The Black Sheep, and Amarena, had set out from Darlbridge as soon as they were ready, with barely a few hours rest.
Noir had thought it prudent to leave before the town or Cadence changed their minds, and Kir had agreed.
Amarena had been the only unwilling point but eventually agreed, even helping Kir climb into the cart behind the strider, where he fell into a deep sleep.
Today was the first day since they left when they encountered a town, and they were out of food.
"Look at them, they don't even have walls. We could just take or fight for what we need," Amarena said. She still hadn't quite forgiven Kir for taking all of the "good kills."
