Kalib and Acastus marched towards the south side of the battlefield, towards the Corinthian side. Kalib was tired and determined to end the day, but Acastus, however, seemed a bit down. "What's the matter dear Acastus? You seem awfully glum." "Oh it's nothing, just thinking a bit, you know I'm rather glad things turned out this way." "How come?" Kalib asked.

Especially his general," Acastus frowned gravely. "Why do you say that Acastus? Were they unpleasant to you?" "They called me names. The king kept referring to me as your manservant and that general brought up my weight every chance he could get. Fat Malaka here and fatso there! They told me you were dead, said they were glad, served your purpose they said, now we don't have to pay him they said. Malakas degenerates,"
