The man of east Petra, as Adam instructed, repeated his word. What confused Adam and certainly the rest of the Vam hunters was that, if the ashes of the cursed were not the ashes on the fence, what ashes were sprinkled on the fence?
And the man remained silent at Adam's words. Though he heard him and he knew that Adam expected some words of clarity from him, the man only looked to his other men from east Petra.
They all shook their heads. That meant for him not to talk. The man looked at his wife again. Her face was still soaked in her tears.
Yet, that was not enough for him to talk immediately, not until Frederick pointed his sword at his neck. And that was not all. Frederick punctured the man's neck and there was a sight of blood.
His wife became terrified. Thus she cried louder, just as he called his name. At this moment, the men from east Petra were also totally frightened.
