We should leave this town

A visible shudder ran through Arvant. His breath hitched as the weight of Dagur's words struck him like a hammer."What are you talking about?" he demanded, his voice thick with horror.Dagur's expression darkened. His amusement had limits, and his patience had been wearing thin.

"Look, old man," he sighed, his tone laced with a warning, "we've already dragged this on far too long. If you want to escape, then do so now."

A deadly seriousness settled in his voice as he continued. "For that one thing you did in the past… I'll look the other way, just this once." His crimson eyes gleamed with an unspoken promise.

"Leave now, while you still can."

Arvant clenched his jaw, his grip on the reins tightening. His mind raced, conflicted. His past dealings with Dagur were nothing he wished to recall, and if Dagur was offering a way out, then it meant he was completely serious about what was coming next.
