Description:
Emerald tries to decide on a place he wants to go, but then suddenly let’s out an audible, wide-mouthed yawn. He didn’t really realize how tired he was until now, but that was probably because of the adrenaline of being captured and everything interesting going on.
There is a bit of a scramble to find something suitable for Emerald to sleep on. The village lacks beds since most of them don’t sleep, and when they do it’s almost always underground.
The pair go back to the church and manage to scrounge up some old moth-eaten drapes and rugs, which Emerald uses to make a makeshift bed on one of the pews in the nave.

Emerald wakes up the next day at the feeling of something jabbing him in the side. Emerald opens his eyes in horror.
It’s some sort of quadruped creature with a spiked, toothy skull with four horse legs attached to it. It keeps nudging him even as he attempts to kick it away in terror, but then the colt realizes it has a letter in it’s mouth.
Emerald reaches gingerly for it, and a second or two after taking the letter from the creature it falls apart and dissolves into dust.
Emerald opens the letter.
“Hi Emerald,
Glad to hear you are alright.Anyway, I’ll be coming to get you soon. We gotta get on our way and get that royal jelly, right?
I hope Sepulcher didn’t give you too hard of a time. He’s kind of a wanted criminal and also undead, so he can be a bit distrustful of strangers. When I told Ruby you were being held by a lich you should have seen the look on her face. She started crying and-”
The note stops here, but there are a bunch of scribbles afterwards that make it look like there was a fight for the pen. Emerald gives a little smirk at this.
Getting to his feet he does his best to look out the window and see what time of day it is. It looks like he slept well into the afternoon. His stomach rumbles. He’ll have to go ask for more food and water he thinks, even if it does taste a bit like ash.
