A few hours later, far from the city of the "Forgotten Fog", but still in the territory of Womskinner, behind the mountain range, a huge dark creature descended to the foot, on whose back two figures were sitting.
After crossing the mountain range, an endless dark valley opened up in front of them.
"We're here," Idan whispered, hugging Arabel, who was sitting in front.
Coco, hearing Idan's words, woke up from her dream and, stretching, began to whine. Then, seeing the vast dark valley, she nodded in agreement, confirming Idan's words.
"How are you?" asked Idan, noticing that Arabel was silent.
"I'm fine, — Arabel replied, as if waking up from her thoughts, and sighed.
"I still can't come to terms with what Ned did."
It came as a real shock to Arabel to learn that all the slaves who were under the Trading House died, and none of them survived. She was particularly struck by the fact that Ned killed almost half of them personally.
