A Passageway Into The Empire

"How long do you think that guy will take to come here?" In the hideout of the northern tribes, one of the men spoke.

"We don't even know if he's going to come or not." The second man said.

"We'll wait for two days more. If he doesn't come by then, we'll tell the elders. No use in wasting time on him. We have other assets to make use of anyway." The man who seemed to be the leader, stated.

"Yeah! Besides, our deal was with his mother, not him. We are already doing a favor to him by staying here this long. The council is going to act soon. We need to prepare for their smooth passage." A female tribe member spoke this time.

"The passage should be fine. We only need to do a final check, which we'll do by default if that prince keeps up. Once he's paid the cost and crossed over, our duty here will be done, too. Soon, our people will have the debt repaid." Another man spoke.
