(And here is the new update you have all been waiting for! What's that? You haven't?! Well, here it is anyway. Deal with it.)

The caravan consisted of a group of a calm guars and one or two kagouti, specially tamed to keep other predators from attacking. The caravan leader was a bearded man who introduced himself as Nalilab Amusabi.

He shook hands with Mara and Varg as they approached. "You are married I take it?"

Mara held herself back from laughing out loud while Varg expressed his deepest concern on the matter. "What makes you think that?" he asked.

Nalilab raised his shoulders. "Only married couples get in trouble, and from what I have heard you both got in trouble here."

"Mostly him", said Mara and pointed discretly in Varg's direction.

"Ah, the wolf man", said Nalilab impressed. "I heard from some of the spectators about your fierce performance." He then looked at Mara with a sly smile. "Your husband must be a beast among the sheets as well, I take it?"

Mara couldn't hold it back any longer and laughed out loud while Varg slapped his palm across his face. "We are not married", he said with a voice of cold contempt.

Nalilab seemed suprised. "Oh. Alright then. Anyway, we will be heading north in a moment or so. I will just await for my men to finish the packings the goods and we will be off."

"Finally", sighed Varg and went over to the animals to examine one of the guars.

Meanwhile Mara was greeted by Ulvena who gave her a hug. "Farewell now, child", she said. "And be careful about how you use your gift. I have seen things recently. Things that involve your future."

"Y-you have?" said Mara. "That's remarkable. I used to have prophetic visions and the such, but they haven't been showing me anything lately. What did your sights show you?"

Ulvena's face darkened. "Besides the fact that you will eventuall be reunited with your friends I must that tell you that dangers lurk among the shadows, child. I have seen that many horrors awaits you on your path. Listen closely. Beware the man in blue robes, he who sinks his teeth in the flesh of the innocent to devour them. Beware the pale and sickly man, he who coughs and limps. But also beware of the beast in black. If you let the monster come too close to your heart, you will find it engulfed by shadows and doubts."

Mara glared worryingly at Varg who was busy figuring out what exactly one of the guars was staring at. "Y-you don't mean that...?"

"I mean nothing, child", answered Ulvena. "The sights are not easily interpreted. I simply advice you to remain on your guard for the black beast. Why the visions didn't foretell any potential threat from this creature, they foretold something that was aching to that of deceit."

Ulvena then pulled something out of her robe. It was a small talisman and she hung it around Mara's neck. "Carry it with you always. It will protect you when shadows seems to come alive to grasp you with their clutches."

As the caravan started moving Mara couldn't stop looking at Varg. She didn't want to believe what Ulvena just had told her, but then again she didn't exactly knew what kind of man Varg really was. ''Varg will betray me? How? And why?''
