Ambush (1)
Esdras spent the night peacefully.
Unfortunately, they weren't able to depart the next day because the supplies they requested were delayed so they had to wait one more day.
They had to get as many supplies as possible, the next decent town on the road was two weeks away. It was called Yellomane, and it was their last stop before making a turn and directly going to the capital.
It was fine since they weren't on any deadline or anything of the sort, their only mission was the escort the prince safely not quickly.
Oh, they also had to deliver the royal relic that the prince was in charge of.
Speaking of the item, he didn't know what it was yet. It was kept locked in a small unadorned chest. The prince didn't bring it up either so they gradually forgot about it.
After traveling out of Cilios for two days, Esdras decided it was time to ask the prince about it out of curiosity.
