Chapter 12: Mainline Quest
The next morning, a knock woke Kael up from his sleep. He tossed and turned, his smallish body, eventually falling off the small cushion.
His eyes snapped open and the knocks came again — loud and desperate.
He rose to his feet, and went to see the visitor.
Normally, he had no visitor except Juno and her crew. But since he was alleged to have died, they naturally would stop appearing here or else they'd either see him enter or want to rob him.
Kael sighed and pushed the door open.
Juno.
Her eyes pierced Kael and the short dagger in her hand, aimed at his throat.
"You betrayed your own team?" She spat.
"It was for our own team, to get the essence from that man's house. Did you know how much that would have cost if it was solded? Did you know how rich it would make us underground crooks?"
Kael sighed again and pushed the dagger away from his throat.
"Do not threaten me with a dagger again."
