Darce waited in the camp for a while before he heard the sound of approaching horses. He wanted to give the command and set off, but Commander Eisen kept an eye on him. Eisen was the silent one in the group. They all changed direction to the sound of the running horses. Eugene and Edan were riding back. The horses stopped before Darce.
“I heard the news. Is there anything new?” He turned to Eisen first, who shook his head.
“I am waiting for Oslo.” Eugene pulled a long package of black cover down. He threw it on the ground.
It looked like a package tied up from top to bottom; not even the bottom could be seen. The rolled-up package twisted and flinched as it hit the ground on impact.
“What have you got there?” Eisen asked as he and Darce both came closer to observe.
“This is someone we acquired with luck, and we might even get a lead for the Queen,” Edan replied, pulling the cloth rope off and kicking it to the side.
