Chapter 37

"Sorry to bother you, when you are obviously busy," Tara drawled with heavy undertones of sarcasm. 

I smiled guilty, "No, bother."

I felt like I had been caught stealing from the sweetie cupboard then asked to do a household chore. 

Tara, however, was all business. Her cold lack of care was refreshing and far preferable to facing death by a thousand questions. 

"Scouts report sightings of an Undead Yewam. Your assistance is needed." she said tersely. 

What the hell was an Undead Yewam? I didn't recognise the name, and it would be cool to face something new. It's not quite an adventure, but a monster slaying quest had perfect fantasy vibes. 

"Gladly."

"I've to escort you to Galen. We will ride out soon."

I put on my widest, politest smile, "Lead the way." I said gesturing out with an open palm.
