Manguino just looked at him and whimpered.
"Where can I go, or what's more, when and how?"
Orren thought for a moment then sighed.
"The old place … the citadel at Tannisea, but you will have to go alone and around the southern coast."
"The route to Tannisea is long and dangerous, Orren. Especially is the southern coastal loop is taken."
Orren touched Manguino's shoulder.
"It's either that or you have to fight Boyce!"
"That's quite a choice!" said Manguino.
"I will take your place while you get along to Tannisea." said Orren. "I'll send you word when to return. That son of Brook Scullion-Blue cannot win."
Manguino took a deep breath and looked out the window again when he heard Boyce's voice calling him out to fight.
