After being escorted back out of the city, Aberon, Astaroth, Aj'axx, I'dril, and Korin walked the same path they had walked to the gates on their arrival.
They garnered the same looks of disgust and hatred as previously, but this time around, Astaroth knew why. He simply ignored the masses, as they were but misguided people.
The group walked along the dirt road until they reached the fields, and then the plains. The trudge to the forest took longer, as the previous stressful experience, had exhausted them.
But they eventually made it to the forest. They did the trek into the woods, up to where they had left their carriage and the wooden stags.
The sun was setting on the horizon, making the forest already dusky. So Aberon delayed their departure.
"The night is upon us. We shall depart tomorrow." He said.
"What about repercussions?" Chris asked.
"You know how the king is." He added.
