Ode from the Dead

The newly formed group of Laemno, Gal-Enshu, and The Wayfarer quickly crossed through the Hierapetran mountainside, primarily thanks to the latter's experience with the local landscape.

It took them five days to finally reach flat ground, during which Laemno had diligently undertaken his servant's linguistic education. 

While Gal-Enshu was somewhat of a slow learner, he was by no means stupid. His piety and loyalty towards Laemno seemed genuine, but he was skillful at dodging certain subjects whenever there was an attempt to pry into his origins. 

Still, there was no malice in his reticence, only an odd sense of shame tied to his past. 

According to the gathered tidbits so far, Laemno understood that Enshu was more of an acquired title rather than the name of a particular lineage.
