"Did you bring any cakes?"
I couldn't help but smile as I took off the hood of my cloak and met eyes with the tortoise in front of me.
He hadn't changed in the slightest while I looked like a completely different person… yet he recognized me immediately.
"Of course, I brought some. I have a favor to ask," I chuckled, and the tortoise did a low grumble as his head slumped across the small cavern, his large eyes slowly redirecting towards the enslaved man behind me.
"What's up with him?" He asked as I immediately brought out eight large chocolate cakes and fed them to the old man.
"He's somebody I picked up earlier. Just ignore him… or kill him if you want. I've already memorized the path. I thought it would be harder to get back without him, but from what I've seen, I shouldn't have any trouble," I muttered, and the man began to scream with fear, clawing at the stone walls, trying his hardest to escape.
