~Chapter 42~
Mae and Baas had been riding east for several hours when they stopped for lunch at a small lake just past midday.
"So where are we headed and what's the next job?" Mae asked as she stretched out on the grass to watch the clouds move across the pink sky.
"To the town of Kirshelp at the end of this road, where the plains meet the Desert Wastes. We'll stay there for the night, but tomorrow we're going to head south to the city of Indol'zaph," he explained as he tended to the food on the fire. "It's an eighteen-hour ride, but since we aren't in a hurry, I figured we'd camp for the night at the halfway point. We'll be following a river for most of the way, maybe do a bit of fishing if you're interested?"
"I like the sound of your plan so far."
