We reached the sanctuary about an hour later, covering the distance entirely on foot this time instead of rushing across the land on horseback like I had when I went to drag Knight out of prison, and the moment the golden barrier came into view, I noticed someone already standing outside waiting for us.
A woman.
She looked somewhere in her thirties, slightly chubby around the face with black hair falling down her back, and the shirt she wore did absolutely nothing to hide her big chest while the brown pants somehow made the entire appearance even more bizarre once the realization hit.
Knight slowed beside me.
I slowed too.
Both of us stared at her for a second.
Then immediately burst into laughter.
"What is so funny?" she asked flatly as she stood up from the rock she had been sitting on.
