The following night he teamed the ladies up with Bashar's team. As he expected, the man didn't like the two female Knights joining his team.
Hex acted like he didn't see the crease on his forehead. The furtive glances a few of the men in Bashar's team gave each other didn't escape him.
'They are up to something. I don't mind if they leave me out of it. But I doubt it.'
He couldn't help but sigh. It seemed things had been going too smoothly the last couple of days.
The previous day he discovered the presence of a few Fiends in the first tunnel as soon as they entered through the outer entrance. He assigned Bashar and his men to test their resolve and abilities.
Bashar and his team were all Knights. He expected them to survive against a small team of Fiends. In the worst case, they would flee and ask for his help. He didn't expect them to exit without a single scratch on their body. And certainly not deny the existence of some level of danger in the first tunnel.
