Eran had reached the village of Alku after a night of riding without rest. Passing by the marketplace bustling with activity, after which it led to the square, he stopped his horse and tied it to one of the logs firmly planted on the ground.
After that, he walked through the bustling streets, turning onto a small road that led him to his destination. Despite the sharp eyes of two people who were always watching him at the end of the road, Eran did not care. He arrived at a rickety-looking house, and without hesitation, he stepped inside.
Being on the second floor, Eran stopped in front of one of the rooms. Without knocking, the door opened before him.
When Eran entered the room, a scene of commotion immediately greeted him. A woman's screech filled the room, "Ahh, there's someone!" the woman screeched while trying to cover her body and get away from Halbarad.
"Who are you..." his voice trailed off, his eyes widening to see Eran standing in the doorway.
