Once again, Luphus woke up from his unconscious state. He looked at Kieran quietly, the familiar pain in his neck making him shut his mouth.

It wasn't the first time or even the second time anymore. Along the journey, he had woken up more than once and each time he spoke, he had been knocked out again.

The continuous hits on his neck made him doubt how many more times his neck could endure it before it broke.

Since Luphus had fallen unconscious multiple times, he had lost count of the time, but based off of the hunger in his stomach, he knew they were close to Gordor.

It was too late to say anything now, since they would be arriving soon.

In fact, the very next moment, Luphus realized things were much worse than he had expected.
