[Firenze]: 56.Sharman - The New Beginning: Chapter3

CHAPTER THREE – GOING TO THE HAJJ

They exited the guild grounds onto the streets of the city, Kerrin had never been to this part of the city as it was her Father’s area and not hers. She knew where everything was by a map but not by sight. She followed Kenaz until they reached the main street where The Hajj youths set up their distraction for the Sharman during the Daeg, the distraction that caused her downfall and capture. Yet she did not hold any resentment against the youths because it was her turn to jump the wall. She felt an overall disappointment come over her as if she wanted to grab her knife and stab herself through the stomach. But this thought was never going to become a possibility as her mind was being constantly monitored by the Sharman to make sure she is not having any thoughts of which would cause damage to the Sharman.

The constant scanning of her mind plagued her constantly but as time progressed she learnt to live with it because she knew that she would be watched until they deemed her trustworthy. Kerrin led Kenaz to a cold dark alley this alley lead to one of the many entrances of The Hajj and as they walked down he alley she realized that Kenaz was only a pace if that behind her. Then a sense of fear came over her but it wasn’t her fear, it was Kenaz. He had the stagnant smell of fear covering him from head to toe. But she was the only one who could sense it, as she had already spotted three sqwips on her way to the entrance and they reacted normally to her presence as well as Kenaz’s which was highly unusual.

As they neared the entrance Kerrin turned to Kenaz and looked at him with piercing eyes. Kenaz stepped back expecting some kind of attack to happen but was relieved when he saw her checking only for guards or any other people who may harm The Hajj.
