Chapter 53

Remanu removed Brandon's hand from his as soon as they reached the riverbank. Brandon snorted, then walked a few steps and sat down on a rock not far from where they had been standing. The young man took out a few slices of bread and a drink bottle from his bag. He then put the drink and food on the rock to his right.

"Hey! You! Not hungry? I see you've been weak running around since earlier," he half sneered.

Remanu snorted in annoyance. "You dare to sneer at me like that? Truly extraordinary. Who do you think I am because of who?" he replied.

Remanu walked a few steps and sat down next to Brandon. He looked at the food Brandon had brought, then at the young man. "This is for me?" asked Remanu to make sure.

Brandon smiled a little and nodded his head. He looked at Remanu with a brutal look to interpret but not a threat to Remanu. Remanu was sure that Brandon had come to help him.
