Chương 76: Dulcet and Duplicitous - Part 4

{A/N: When I tell you I almost gave up... I LOST AN ENTIRE SECTION OF THIS STORY! I SPENT TWO HOURS ON IT AND ~POOF~ GONE! Ugh!!! But I remembered what I could and typed like a madman, so... I present a bad recollection of part 4 :)

Being the resourceful prince he was, Heiko had filched food and water from the clansmen stores sometime between leaving Cuilin's side and returning - alone - to his tent the night before. Along with the necessities, he also brought a thick fur he had stuffed into a rucksack and a single knife. Cele figured it was done intentionally, since the general found it hard to believe that Heiko would only be able to locate one when surrounded by an entire clan of nomadic warriors.
