Chapter 26 – The Four Aspects of Power
Samson and Kyle returned home.
Kyle learned more about Sandspeak, the language of this area, and went to bed.
The next day, he was sent to accompany Tarren, the older hunter.
Tarren had been working for Samson for over ten years, and he was the longest-standing employee at the company.
"Samson actually also recruited me from the prison," Tarren explained as he went through a bush.
"You were... in prison?" Kyle asked, trying to get the grammar right.
"Yep," Tarren answered. "Banditry. In case you don't know the word, I essentially stole from merchants on the road. I even had a group under me."
"Sadly, or luckily, we ran into a guard squad, which quickly suppressed us."
"I spent a couple of weeks in prison. At that time, Samson was searching for new hunters for his business. He had been working alone until then, and well, I joined. I've been working for him ever since," Tarren explained.
Kyle got most of what Tarren said.
"Back then, I was just an Early Squire. Well, technically, I can't count as a Squire since I didn't have the luxury to undertake the ritual."
