Pablo revealed to everyone why he stopped.
"The skeletons are moving? And how can you even see them? I see nothing." Jamal was the first one to argue.
"I have my ways. And I am right. A horde of skeletons is standing just a little far from us. They are not in very large numbers but they are an army of some kind."
"Are they coming at us?" Boulder asked.
Pablo asked Andrezj.
Andrezj answered Pablo.
Pablo answered everyone.
"No. They are just standing, waiting for us to come to them. And they are not Human skeletons. Not all of them, I mean."
"Then? What are they? Who are they?" Jamal asked.
Pablo gave them a short answer.
"The monsters of the river."
Jamal ate his words.
He looked at the other high dukes and they were the same tense.
The soldiers also went into discussions.
The place was filled with murmurs now.
"Why are you all so freaked out?" Pablo asked directly.
