The guard duties lasted for 16 hours before Larkas and his group were replaced by another five-person group. They left and returned to the tribe, where they would rest for three days before going again.
"Hey, Larkas, Lonki, and I planned on visiting our usual spot for a few drinks. Would you join us?" Karvar asked, but Kent, who was now in Larkas's form, shook his head.
Tomorrow is the war assignments. I want to rest now before then. You guys are mages, meaning you will have it easy, unlike me, who gets to be under General Low's command.
It is better to have the best sleep before then."
His friends laughed at him, not suspecting their friend wasn't the same person they had known a couple of hours ago.
"In that case, enjoy your sleep. Not that it will be fun, considering your woman is away," Lonki said mockingly as he and Karvar left, laughing at Kent's words.
