Chapter 43 - Clear path to the pit

Axena looked on at the tensed moment that was due to the explanation that Loth gave. She saw the apt assurance with which Loth spoke and also saw that fear was evident in Cinten too. She knew Cinten to be a strong woman in the last three days that they had been together and she could also say that she was fearless. But at the moment, she could sight fear in her face.

"How do you know all these?" Cinten asked.

"I am certain that you know too," Poth said from the distance that he was seated and stood from his feet.

"You know of these things that I will say to you. First, you know that if you failed to abide by the rules given by lord Buten, you will fall on his death list. You know that you are not going to abide so you are there already."

Poth reached their side and stood gallantly behind Loth. There, Axena could see the eminent difference between the two and Poth appeared taller, broader and of a thicker body than Loth.
