Kai tried to push his way through the crowd. Just then, a horse-drawn carriage passed in front of him. It was covered, with several men on horseback in black cloaks riding both ahead of and behind it.
Kai couldn't take his eyes off them. None wore a white cloak. He didn't recognize any of them, but they were calling out the name Sylas.
And they were on horseback. He was certain his master was there. Or perhaps the man was inside the carriage?
"S-Sorry..." Kai shoved aside a large man blocking his view. He couldn't afford to lose sight of his master.
"M-Master..." he muttered, struggling to push his way through the thickening crowd.
"Hey, watch it!" a man shouted, irritated by Kai's sudden push.
"I-I'm sorry…" Kai bowed quickly in apology, but his mind was still fixed on the carriage that was now growing more distant.
Master...
