Ikem saw Drey leave.
The Totem pole just opened up a gateway and the dwarf walked through it without any hindrance.
The Sharkmen also watched him leave.
The old lady, the one Drey called Hinewai, watched him leave as well.
She sat on the ground, her eyes constantly roaming yet gaining a mystifying fogginess to them.
Slowly, she sat upright.
Ikemefuna noticed that despite lying on the ground for a while, her toga still maintained its pristine appearance.
'What had Drey done to her, though?
Was this why the Chi insisted I run?'Ikem wondered.
He had considered making a dash towards the gateway. His instincts told him it was the way out of the punishment from Perudaux.
But the gateway closed immediately after Drey had walked through it, as if it couldn't bear an unconventional shortcut.
'What now?'
Ikem felt a frown form across his features.
He was supposed to have fought with Drey for the right to speak with their god.
But Drey was gone.
