Chapter 12

"I believe you're setting out for the town the fire temple is in?" he asked while feeding his crow. 

I nodded. Why was he here? 

"That's your dinner?" he asked skeptically. 

I looked at the bread and cheese on the mat. I nodded. 

"You're not planning to treat a high priest to bread and cheese I hope." 

"No, of course not." I smiled elegantly. I picked up the bow and arrows from my horse. "I will go and hunt something for you, your Grace." 

This lazy priest! I really wondered if he showed up now just so I could hunt and cook for him. Why didn't he just call for his shadow puppets?

"That's very nice of you," he smiled with something evil sparkling in his eyes. "I thought I'd send out my shadow puppets to hunt something, now I don't even have to use my power! So glad you offered!"
