I won't palter and say I feel good alone. Rehabilitation from city poisinous life takes very long time. More and more often I remember two women, one of which could stay here by my will and fulfill all my demands. Knowing that time cannot be turned backwards I let myself a weakness and think they were not spying on me but just paying understandable attention to such a important and responsible man. They did, didn't they? So one day, while marking a moat behind my yard's wall I heard women voices. After some time I saw them - three women and two kids were walking towards my wagon abandoned behind the gates. I didn't hide, they'll find my home anyway as long they are here.
- Praise The Armok, we thought we won't find you. Is this a future settlement of "Loyal Axes"? I guess we lost our way, following the map they gave us we traveled to an empty spot and we are wondering for almost two weeks.
I looked them incomprehensibly. That's the exact look I need now, but actually I wasn't pretending I was really confused. How did they find me? So quickly! Three women! Think of a woman, here you are! Choose! Even here far from the city webs I felt under a magnifying glass of a investigator. How can I run from them if they calculate my every thought, wish, weakness? Seeing my confusion the woman continued:
- Tell me we came to the right place. Is it "High Shield" a new settlment of "Loyal Axes"? We need Kumil Zatamcazir - expedition leader.
The High Shield that's how they called my settlement. That's what was in the documents I burned. But I'm in completely different place. Talking about my previous name - it's just a noise.
- The High Shield? Kumil Zamata...what was it? Never heard about.
- But we came to the marked place we found nothing so we followed the wagon trails. Wagon are not very often here so the trails were intact even after a half of a year. Here we have Mafol she is a tracker - the speaked pointed at the dwarfess in a green hood.
- Bullshit. I came here last winter over a frozen ground. The snow melted long time ago! - I'd better hold my self. Now they know that I arrived here at the same time as the expedition they are looking for. I weaned from those cunnings, I should play along.
- I considered that, the expedition had to arrive here at begining of the winter. Truly say, I've found just several doubtful tracks which could be taken for just a wheel pothole but basicaly I was just following logic. Wagon can go everywhere.
The woman in green protected her theory. Very well, it's a truce. I need to think for a while.
