The Journey Back/Information

Slowly meandering through a forest clearing a carriage could be seen. Sitting on the driver's seat was Daedalus. He heaved a sigh of relief once more thinking about the woman. Luckily they hadn't been taken advantage of, only their life force and karma where being absorbed.

Along the way from the cave Daedalus had found a few beasts. This was fortunate as he didn't want to have to pull the carriage several hundred kilometres through a forest. So that's how it went, Daedalus simply relaxed and waited for the woman to wake up, while taking care of his now stump of a left arm.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

After a few hours, the first woman woke up. As she did she immediately sprung up and started looking around. Luckily Daedalus had stopped the carriage for a moment so that he could check on his arm.

Hearing the commotion Daedalus walked around the back just in time to see the woman trying to leave the cart and falling. Daedalus caught her and said "Careful I don't want you to be injured right after I got you all out."

The woman seemed confused for a moment before seeing his arm and saying "What happened to your arm? Worry more about that than me!"

Daedalus just sighed and covered his arm before saying "Sorry I didn't mean to show you that. Could you get back in the carriage I was taking you all to the nearest kingdom I know of, also if any of them wake up please explain the situation to them."

The woman nodded But still said "Could you at least tell me what happened to your arm, it clearly happened recently?"

"Okay we can talk while we go, so get inside."

The woman agreed and got into the carriage sitting just behind the driver's seat.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Daedalus couldn't help but sigh to himself, the woman was extremely talkative. Then again he did save her life. For the past few hours Daedalus had been talking with her as the made their way through the massive forest, it would likely take a few more days to reach the kingdom.

A few more ladies had awoken, most of them where just happy they where out of that predicament. Luckily Daedalus had taken a minute to refine soul mending pills for all of them, otherwise they would likely be mindless flesh bodies. So at most they where quietly sobbing to themselves about the situation they had gotten into.

During the unending talk with Aria, as he found out that was her name, he learned that they had all been recruited by a large group at the guild in, luckily, the kingdom they where heading towards. These large groups where usually formed when a large task was required to be completed, likely an emergency quest. Daedalus himself had experienced a few, though he thoroughly disliked them because the larger groups within the large group would just steal all of the good stuff from the little people.

With his newfound understanding of the situation Daedalus was able to slowly piece everything together while talking to each of the women.
