"Yes, actually. I believe he wished to ask you personally about your thoughts on Ganishka and the odds of his house to win the Kushan throne. Given how we've killed a few Kushans ourselves, joining forces with him might be controversial to both them and us, even if Griffith is the larger evil. I'll look for him and Rickert in a bit."
"Thank you, Kalki. Let me know when he's ready to meet us." You depart to the residential areas, getting ready to meet your mother and Bernard."
As you see the residential area, the crops had started to harvest once more, with the river under the bridge having several farmers and workers talking to each other at ease.
"V-V-V-lad?! Y-YYou're alive!" The short Benny was playing his songs to a few other kids who were handing him some bronze coins, until he waved at you to come over.
"Good to see you, Benny." You give him a handshake. Despite what occurred between the two of you, he seems to hold no hard feelings towards you.
"Did you expect me not to return?"
"They said you abandoned us... But Dad and I knew you wouldn't do that! but since you never m-m-messaged us..."
"I wouldn't run away from a fight I started." You kneel over to meet his gaze and reaffirmed him of your safety as well as his, and after apologizing to the crowd for interrupting his little show, you went home with him to meet your mother and his father to tell of your great adventures.
The house was right before the great astral tree, it's trunks being large enough to replace the mountain that was once before it. And as if protecting the other houses before him, a marble statue of the great Barnham, holding the trunks above his back was cemented in front of it.
"Here lies Barnham. Proud founder of Ilos and it's powerful coliseum army."
"D-Dad sculpted it. We don't like Barnham, but it paid well." Benny scratched his bald head, knowing it obscured the gravestone of his sister Cindy.
"Benny, boy! I told you to warn us before bringing any of your friends home--" Bernard is surprised to see you, quickly calling for Michelle, who nearly jumped out the window to check on you and your wounds.
