Jericho wept now silently. Those words he spoke to Aelwin had hit him like a wrecking ball. Sure he already knew it's truth, but hearing it out loud was completely different.

"This food is tainted! Don't send it!!"Screamed a farmer from the crowd.

"This is getting out of hand ,sir!"Armon said urgently to Jericho. "I am quite aware, Armon! Take steps to remove any possibility of rioting!"

The crowd was in an uproar. They were yelling and screaming completely contesting the shipment into High Rock.

"BROTHER!"a voice called from the crowd.

Jericho immediately recognized the voice and his head snapped to the source.

"Come to me Narij!"Jericho replied.

Narij made his way up to Jericho, fighting his way as the people began to become even more restless. Something needed to happen and fast.

"Brother"Narij greeted Jericho with a hug,"This is insane is it not!?"

"Yes! I have to do something!"

"Brother, as well as you may know, I am the leading farmer here. I can and will vouch for this food."

"SILENCE!!!!"Jericho called to the crowd which begrudgingly followed his commands.

"Narij! My brother! You say you will vouch for this food! Will you eat of it to show your assurity!?"Jericho stated in a loud voice.

"Yes!! I w-will"Narij nervously replied.

"Right, Armon! Fetch me a carrot!"

With in moments, Armon, Jericho's right hand man, brought a carrot forth and handed it to Narij.

Narij nervously bit into the carrot and ate of it...

"Right! Without further ado, let this shipment pass!!"Jericho smiled giving his brother a slap on the back....

"Brother, it is time for me to head out. I hope that you will get well soon. Please go take care of my wife and son in my absence." Jericho stated before walking to join his men.

"Yes my brother,"Narij stated before coughing heavily into his rag.

Narij looked into the rag to see blood and mucus. His eyes widened, but he remained silent and headed to do as his brother had asked...

Jericho wept louder as this all came flooding back. He was a murderer of hundreds of people and his own brother and family.
