168 New Beginnings

I went back from the old port through narrow streets that led to the new part of the city, Handels Market. It's a noisy, stinky, filthy part of town. Its streets are mostly vast. Carts filled with perfume, spices, cloth, and even kegs of ale and cheap wine, roamed the large cobble stone streets during the day. At night, it was the fancy carriages and coaches driving around, looking for their drunken passengers.

When I got to Handels Market, a leerie was busy lighting the street lamps. I didn't expect Lady Beatrix to let me go that easily. That only meant she'd come after me later. I've been on my guard ever since I left the warehouse. However, I had to double the vicinity at which I spread my senses to scan for potential threats here.
