Lucius savored small bites of the meat and vegetables in the bowl. The taste surpassed the meager rations he had been given in the village. It appeared that the shaman's actions were driven by anger, aiming to torment him mentally.
Suddenly, a female voice interrupted the silence, whispering as she joined them to eat. Nathan introduced her as Rose and looked around, making sure no goblins were watching.
''Like Nathan said, my name is Rose, may I know yours?'' A young girl in her early 19 spoke, she had short red hair and a small beauty mark on her cheek, her eyes were blue and seemed to captivate, looking deep into Lucius as if inspecting him.
Lucius turned to face her. ''She was our leader, the person I mentioned earlier, well, still is. Before you arrived, she was level 4, the highest here,'' Nathan explained when he noticed Lucius didn't respond.
