Chapter 17: 0

Zlatus watched as Dallear slowly opened the door to the Temple of the Stars, his head bowed in reverence. The Raider yawned; he was getting sleepy and hungry and watching the Monk do something so slowly wasn't helping at all. He looked at Malkom, who was leaning against the wall, an irritated look on his face. It was their fault for volunteering to come with the Monk, so they had no right to be bored to death, he thought. Especially since he hadn't offered to help out of the goodness of his heart. He was expecting to find some rare things he could give to his Mistress. After all, the debt his grandfather had left was huge and it wasn't going to pay itself. That had been the only reason he had followed them to the Fallen Houses; there he was sure to find valuable items that no one could find elsewhere. Still, he couldn't help feeling like he wanted to be anywhere else.
