As he caes were all attired identically, each of theray robes, with both theshaved heads like roup was clothed differently, with his gray robe featuring red fringes
Arran's plan seees in the group were gathering Essence, they had not attacked hiroup's leader called out, a hint of concern in his voice

”Why?” Arran said Fewer than a dozen paces now separated hiroup, and still he rinned broadly as his hand es finally understood as happening, but it was already too late

When he reached her, he saw that the fear she had in her eyes before was now gone, and he understood that it had indeed been her pursuers' h she no longer looked fearful, she didn't seem relieved, either Instead, as she faced Arran, her expression was one of worry
”How did you do that?” she asked, her brow furrowed ”And what happened to you in the city?”
For a ave her a short nod
”I'll tell you,” he said, ”if you tell me who I just killed, and why they were after you”
