Chapter 52: Chapter 52: The Secret in the Woods

Koray waited until Sorin was occupied with his evening duties and then headed for the kitchen to obtain food for travel before making his way to the stable. The stable hands looked at him in surprise, but obediently prepared him a horse. "Is the high paladin accompanying you?" one of them asked as he brought Koray's horse to him.

"No," Koray said. "If he tries to fuss and come after me, tell him I have been doing the Goddess' work alone for many years and am still quite capable."

The stable hands laughed and nodded. "Be careful, High Necromancer. Try to make it back before dark and have an extra care if you don't. Go with the Goddess' protection."
