• The Sorceress •
We trotted down the path in silence towards Amativ Village. Marie glanced over to me, confused who this stranger was. I flicked my reins and came up beside the mysterious cloaked figure riding ahead.
"Why did you save us?" I whispered. He slightly turned his head, but didn't face me.
"What's your name?" Marie shouted from behind. "Where're you from?"
"The only thing you need to know is that I seek the Golden Rain for my own needs." He muttered, stiffly. "I did not save you, I need the key."
"Oh." I blinked, hand subconsciously over my pocket and protecting the golden key tucked inside.
"I know there's no use in getting you both to give the key up." He told me with annoyance. "That's why I am coming along."
"The more the merrier!" Marie clicked and jogged past us, traveling further up the path.
"Thank you for what you did back there." I gratefully said quietly.
"I didn't do it for you." He grumbled and trotted ahead, leaving me behind.
Well, some stranger coming along for the ride? What could possibly go wrong, I thought, shaking my head.
