There is a line of trees just beyond the horizon. Perhaps you could reunite with Dara in the forest once you’ve escaped the tyrannical blood mage.

Lorenzo has his back turned, strolling up the trail. You take one tentative step off the path, and then another. He doesn’t notice.

You take a few more slow, silent steps, then break into a run. The treeline grows steadily closer when suddenly your blood runs cold.

You turn and see Lorenzo standing on the path, arms crossed.

“Don’t let me stop you!” He shouts and smiles wickedly. “I can always find another servant!”
