Chapter 9. Minyas Up Close
We’ve caught up with a portion of those who were kidnapped by the Lorkon and apparently were left behind. All of them are women, most of whom work in the castle with Arien. Disappointingly, but not surprisingly, Arien was not among them. However, Kelson was much overjoyed to find his wife, Midian, among the survivors. She is injured and has been mostly unconscious since we found her. She recognizes no one. I’m afraid she won’t live much longer.
We are nearing a city where Kenji has several close friends. We will beg for help where our new group members are concerned. We are unable to continue carrying them with us. Kelson is still very much needed in our company, and though I offered to allow him to stay with his wife, I was glad when he chose to continue and trust her to one of Kenji’s friends for the time being. We will return for her and the others when this journey is over.
