Chapter 36: Wounds From The Past

As if in response to her thoughts, the wagons finally stopped moving. 

'They stopped!' 

She almost cried happy tears, thanking the universe for siding with her for once. It was very dark when she looked outside, but the escorts held lanterns that allowed her to see they were in a dense forest. There was a small tavern in front where hardly any people could be seen. 

'Please, please, please…'

Oriana almost laughed in relief when no escort stayed behind this time.

She watched the entire group enter that wooden building, not leaving a single soul to guard the goods.  As fast as the wind, Oriana took this opportunity to leave the wagon where she hid. 

It was a dark and dense forest so it was a good opportunity for her to do her things without being noticed. 

She went behind the woods obstructed by the large body of the wagon. Once she finished her business, her stomach growled.
