Fire And Chaos

Ren had a hard time sleeping that night. But when he finally did go to sleep, the next day arrived far too early.

He quickly gave the command for the caravan to remain at the inn as a day of rest. But that was just to give him and Thorn an excuse for the fact that they won't be leaving Ren's room for an extended period of time.

They'd planned to ride out before but this was the perfect cover. If they're in a place where everybody thinks they are, no one would suspect they were elsewhere, setting a house in the capital on fire.

Lilith, however, had not left her room since their argument the night before. 

Ren had considered knocking on her door, but he decided not to. She needed time, and he needed to focus on what he was about to do. When he was back, he'd take care of this issue.

In the dark of his room, he worked, his hands steady as he assembled exactly what he needed. An incendiary bomb.
