Asger walks a few steps ahead of the rest of them. His lips never falter from the spells he has been repeating to conceal everyone's presence from the sorcerers. Sten is following behind closely with the rest of the crew and the mercenaries hired by Gary. They look like a herd of sheep moving through the green plains as a cluster.

"I am so proud of him. This whole rescue wouldn't have been possible without him. I believe in him." Siv smiles.
"You should tell him that after we finish, being praised by you would really please him. I think he sees you as an older brother."
