The Next day
The next day.
Sam woke up from his deep rest. The first thing he did was to check everything that he had on him.
As much as he trusted the soul contract, ever since he found out about the faith of agmon and their method to move past the soul contract, he became a bit more vigilant about it as well. Luckily, his fears were completely unfounded.
Not only was not robbed of anything, he was even left alone. To rest in privacy.
Not even the three candidates were left there. He woke up and looked around. Everything from the day before was left as it was. Only the three candidates were removed.
A few minutes after he left, Trike and the elders came into the room. They didn't speak. They didn't even know what to say. The Elders had their doubts of course, so they too shook to speak their thoughts.
But it is a different matter for Trike.
