I found
Janek slumped over a table, with half a dozen empty mugs on the table. It took
me a while to rouse him but when he did I explained that Lydia had been
kidnapped and that we had to save her right now. He slurred something about
telling Gareth, and I agreed. I lifted him from his seat and hauled him across
town to the stable, where I helped him onto his horse and tossed him a flagon of
water.
We rode as
fast as was possible with him in his condition, making it to the Winsteed Manor
a few hours before daybreak. Several thoughts plagued my mind on the journey
however. Why did they take Lydia? What purpose did it serve? Not just that, but
now it was my duty to get her home safely. We had to act, and fast, if we were
to succeed... I hoped that Gareth had something up his sleeve.
