TORUM:
Bachué betrayed us. The night she ran away was the beginning of our misfortunes. Count Derderian sent his guards to look for us. They intimidated us, they beat us.
"If she doesn't come back, you shall pay!" The guards yelled at us.
They thought that Nuna and I knew where Bachué had gone. Of course, we didn't know! How were we supposed to know?
I was Bachué's stepfather, I saw her grow up, however, I didn't feel connected to her. We lived together, but we felt like two strangers under the same roof.
My wife Nuna recommended that we too should flee.
"If we stay in Barranca, they will kill us," she warned me.
I agreed, so we had to leave the town that was our home for years and flee to another place. It didn't matter which.
We found an abandoned cabin, a league away from Barranca, and a few minutes from another town called Cartage. On the banks of a small river.
