A few days after the party, Zero was sent packing with many goodies that he chose to store in his inventory instead of accepting a wagon. Truen, Bob and Zero agreed to travel on foot back to Half Moon Village, and King Brice didn't stop them.
"Take care," Mitchnew hugged Zero. "If you pass by Sekkin, tell him to hurry up with his training. I could use more hands here."
"Will do," Zero laughed and bade everyone goodbye. His feet felt heavier the more distance they travelled from Smargdas, and by now, even Bob noticed that something was off about his master.
Truen gave Bob a warning look. Thankfully, the dragon was smart enough to get the hint and didn't pursue the matter any further. However, they decided to keep a close eye on Zero just in case something happened.
