Leo was nearing Thesinford when he saw smoke in the air. It was coming from the town. He got is guns ready, his fear being that whatever had been there was probably still there.
He got to the entrance and stopped.
In the middle of the town, hundreds of spears where buried in the ground. But what made Leo nauseated was the fact that the whole town was on those spears, dead. Men impaled on the bottom of the spears, with women, and then children and even babies at the top. Crows were pecking at their eyes. Who ever did this spared no one.
He immediately started looking around, expecting to see the murderers looting the town but everything was quiet, except for the occasional sparks of the fire slowly consuming the whole town.
He was about to leave but something hit him across the head and he fell, not even remembering himself hitting the ground.
Leo woke up the second time without knowing where he was or how he got there. He was tied up to a chair in the middle of an empty room. He tested the rope and found it strong and tight. Judging by the fact that he could no longer feel his hands, he guessed he had been like that for several hours. He tried to get up but found his legs tied up also.
He immediately started looking for his guns. He didn't feel the belt at his waist so he guessed they probably took them off.
Leo then waited.
After what seemed to be about 4 hours he heard footsteps. Then the door open. He immediately lost some of his hope. It was the Renegade.
Jasmine first saw the smoke. Then she saw the town. Most of it was already burned up. Then something caught her attention. She saw a tied up man being loaded onto the back of a horse by two figures in robes. He looked strangely familiar.
"Jeremy, does he look familiar to you?"
"Yes, madam. He is Leo, the man we rescued in the desert."
They immediately started running towards them but Jasmine knew they could never catch up. They saw the robed men get on their horses and ride away.
"Shall we follow, madam?"
"Yes Jeremy," said Jasmine with a hint of excitement," we shall."
