Closed Danger From The West [Sewati]

[Lumara]

21st of Summer, 513 A.V. Late afternoon, heading north from the Folly... The merchants saw them as opportunity. The commoners saw them as companions and protection. But Lumara only saw them as one thing. Danger. Lumara and Sewati, her chaktawe guide and friend. Were six days out from the Folly when they saw the long, thin line of dust in the distance. They were coming up to a crossroads. The newcomers taking the road heading west towards Ahnatep. The moment the news broke out she was on edge. Ahnatep was known for a few things, slavery being chief amongst them. It didn't compare to Ravok or Kanesh in it's trade of flesh. But it certainly wasn't a kind place. And only one of two people come across the western road from Yahebah, Merchants or Slavers. She couldn't keep her eyes forward as her stomach knotted with anxiety and fear. Sewati's words landed on painfully distracted ears. Deaf to all but the threat at hand "How soon will they be here?" Lumara asked again, only moments after her seventeenth time. "Sorry." She sighed, noticing how rude she had been acting.
