Captain Scarvguard advised Soren to be as good as he could be, as his trial was scheduled for the end of the week.
Until then, he would stay and serve as a prisoner of the Blackspire Bastion.
Surprisingly, before he left, Captain Scarvguard turned to him and said, "Be careful."
Those words had meaning Soren could not figure out now.
Regardless, he was allowed to visit the infirmary before he was escorted back into the prison proper.
Once again, he was wrapped in fresh bandages. But at least his shoulder had been popped back into place.
The guard leading him was the same mean one as before.
Billy.
Soren had learned the name quickly—mostly because everyone spat it with either fear or disgust.
Billy was one of the most corrupt guards in Blackspire Bastion. Corrupt enough to accept bribes. Corrupt enough to look the other way when riots started in cafeterias.
As he led Soren through the brightly lit corridors, Billy muttered curses under his breath.
