Not far off, Kreiss was secretly watching them by the window and saw everything that happened. He smiled bitterly and was about to walk away when he stumbled upon Shannara, looking at him with a teasing smile.

Kreiss punched the tree in front of him and his knuckles started bleeding. This made Shannara sigh.

"It hurts, doesn't it? Glad I prepared myself for this and had given up early," she said and this made Kreiss look at her with annoyance.

"Buzz off! I did not tell you to follow me!"
