"And how do we know we can trust you??" Aine asked with uncertainty. "Ask your friend Novius yourself. I'm a friend of his" The woman said. "You didn't even tell us your name." Lorsan said. "My name is Rychell. I am a serpent-human hybrid" Rychell said. "Hybrid??" Lorsan exclaimed, confused. "I thought Hybrids were only found in Cullodran" Aine said. "I am from Cullodran" Rychell replied. "Then what are you doing all the way out in Aexetan?" Lorsan asked. "I was exploring and got caught in Aexetan. I managed to fake my escape. The King thinks I escaped so he never bothered to get me to sign the contract." Rychell said. "Why didn't you escape for real?" Aine asked. "I felt bad for all the tourists stuck here.. so I decided to help people escape" Rychell said. "That's nice" Lorsan said.
