We are woken up before sunrise by servants coming in with breakfast. Before they leave the servants inform me I will be leaving in an hour. Vacker and I dig in while it is hot and enjoy our last meal together.
Vacker says "Just remember what I taught you and you will be fine."
"Don't worry, I am as ready as I can be."
Vacker says "True, and you are physically as strong as a demon lord. I can't think of any beasts that would be able to kill you."
"I can think of a few, but I doubt the demon lord has captured any of them."
Vacker says "Yeah, I can think of a few beasts in myths and legends that would be a problem. Let's hope Lord Shendaw isn't keeping any of those in cages."
"Well, if he is, that would actually make things easier."
Vacker says "Huh? How so?"
