Stonewake left the city almost an hour ago, with the Cardinal and his real escorts in tow. Ryn said goodbye to them and made his way toward the station of carriages going out of the city.
He quickly found out that they had all left by the early morning. Which now left him with only one solution to get to Lumen:
To rent a horse.
He would have to battle his worst enemy today.
Lumen was about half a day's ride from Dunwick, not exactly far, but not one he would make unscathed.
Ryn frowned as he gave a few silver coins to the stablehand, trying to pick the best-tempered horse there was, finally settling on a white mare.
Climbing on the horse, he used his limited knowledge of equestrian and set off out of Dunwick.
What he thought was just another rest stop before his real objective of Lumen turned out to hide more sinister things than he thought.
