After the old man who smelled like hay explained the misunderstanding from the other day when he sold Damas to the city guards, he took the Free Bird mercenaries away from the city. And once Hugo caught up with tears in his eyes, he ferried the group to Vorad's border before returning to Mischel.
He entered the city and left the cart and horse behind. When he turned a corner, he grabbed his face and tore it off to reveal a youthful appearance. But it wasn't just his face that changed. His entire body shifted, and he grew slightly taller, and his skin paled.
The wrinkled elderly face in his hand slowly faded away.
He ducked into another alley and followed a winding path through the city, entering and exiting houses or even climbing over them until he arrived almost back where he started.
