/Back to the mysterious land…/
Sometime after they defeated the Lizardman, the trio received their freedom, parting ways as their chains were removed, signalizing the start of their new lives.
Nothing unusual happened in the process, they received a few rewards, the difference between their accomplishments and debts before leaving.
Kutr received his freedom and a simple set of gear before making his way to the city's busy streets, vanishing within the crowds.
He never said much, although he did give them a nod before leaving.
They were just accomplices, nothing else, but there was respect for what they did for him, and he would never forget that.
Dale got a large sack of golden balls of multiple sizes, the currency of this land, together with an invitation to become an Actual Gladiator in the massive arenas of the city located further North.
This is essentially the end of this part of the Arc, the next two should be considerably smaller so we can move on to the time skip and reach the next section of the Volume.
Originally, these were meant to be small mentions, but I ended up developing one because I thought there were good lore implications I could build, and now, I let myself go wild and decided to change even more of what I originally had in mind for these "Memory Baubles".
That's about it, peace.
