Armed with their first real piece of collateral, Pandora, Marek and Shien Kidame were making their way back home. They'd had a few tens of miles and three hours between the rest of that team and themselves. However, to ensure that neither could follow nor escape, Shien was still bound by the thorned vines, but in addition to this, he was blindfolded, his ears plugged and even his nostrils filled with black silt to disable his senses from giving him any kind of incriminating detail of their surroundings. His mouth had been free and exposed, so while he could speak, he'd only have his sense of touch and pressure to go off of for responses.

While they were walking, Pandora had dispatched several of her "pets" like the one from before while also dropping an unknown substance to the ground behind her. These two dozen creatures, which were no larger than typical sized full grown rodents, were guided along by faceless children who dressed in the garb of this world. They would appear as no older than ten or eleven and looked to be just poking around through all the fields and planes that surrounded the swamps and the demons border. But in actuality, they were doing so much more. The nine of these children might have started off at the same position with Pandora and the others, but they would all set off in different directions. Within just a couple hours, there was already tens of miles between them as they set off for other villages.

As for the main party, however, they would arrive at their destination much sooner and though he was not freed from his botanical binds, Pandora would remove his blindfold, ear and nose plugs and allowed him to see that they were now in a high vaulted room and foyer of what looked to be an old palace. It was well kept and tended to, but the foreboding sound and scent of aging....everything, was pungent in the air. Pandora would only look upon him once before pulling what appeared to be a greenish white seedling and forced it between Shien's lips and pressed her thumb to his mouth to assure he wouldn't spit it out. "Swallow it." If he did, he would feel a sudden warmth expand throughout his body once the seed hit his stomach. From there, within seconds any injuries, ailments of general bodily discomfort he was feeling would soon be gone. Had she healed him? Hmm, perhaps! But either way, Shien would be in good health...for now.

"Marek. Keep our guest entertained for a moment? I'll be going to see that his new room is ready." She bounced her eyebrows at both of them with a devilish smile before strutting away.

Now that the two were alone, Pandora ran off toward the old great room and peeked her head. The servants had wasted no time and the legion had indeed been vigilant in respecting their wishes. Oh yes, this was going to be fun.
