The old Master slept for four days and then got up and left.
Both of them have been helping themselves to the food brought by the locals and meditating, too afraid to touch their semerus in their pouches.

His eyes roll to the back of his head and he collapses.
Isla stares in wide-eyed horror at the tower.
"What did you do"? she whispers.
Unable to help herself from thinking about the odd slave child she grew up with.
