(Cool.)

It was a slow and long trip to Bruma. Ali had been thinking what he'd say to his parents when he finally faced them, but he couldn't come up with anything other than 'I'm sorry.'.

"So, aren't you going to say it?", the guard-carriege driver said after a long silence. That took Ali by surprise, he wasn't expecting any talk from the guard.

"Huh?", was everything he managed to say.

"I asked if you are not going to say it.", the guard repeated himself. The road was clear of any other carrieges, horses or travelers, so it was safe for them to speak.

"Say what?", the redguard raised an eyebrow.

"That you're innocent, that 'they' got everything wrong and you should be released.", Ali could hear the half-mockery in the guard's words, yet he decided to keep silent.

"Hmm, interesting. That means you did, then? No regrets of it?", the driver continued.

"Understand it as you wish.", Ali replied, dryly.

A long silence followed until the guard decided to break it again.

"Last week I transfered a pathetic kind. Sitted right there where you are and cried for help of his sister, can you believe that?", he started, "Said things like, 'Sister, please. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to.' and 'I'll be good, sister. Help me, please!'. Really pathetic."

"What he Was in for?", Ali decided that some small talk wouldn’t hurt.

"Someone like that, what would you expect? Something small, right?", the guard said and when he saw Ali shrugging, he continued, "Wrong! He was caught redhanded over the body of his daughter. Hard to say what he didn't do with the poor thing."

Some small silence followed and the guard continued, "Despite the fact he was caught in the act, he kept pleading himself innocent. Crying for his older sister right there, he seemed really convinced of his innocence."

"So?", Ali asked out of curiosity.

"What?", the driver didn't understood.

"Was he? Guilty? No doubt about it?", the redguard explained.

"Well, when you get caught over the body of your recently murdered child, covered in blood and holding the dagger over her stomach there isn't much to question, right?", the guard answered.

Ali was enjoying the small piece of view he had while traveling inside a prision-carriege and it was almost peaceful. That little travel was the nicest thing he had experienced in months and it wouldn’t bother him for it to be a long one. The guard seemed like a good person as well, a bit naive but a good man.

"Right.", the redguard said. After another small silence the guard continued:

"Was it worth it? Doing what you did?", he asked, trying not to sound accusatory.

Ali was about to answer it, when he saw a small group of people standing on their path. Distracted by the conversation, the guard allowed the two horses to go faster and they would surely stomp past those people on the road.

"Watch out!", Ali yelled and the Imperial guard turned around to see what the prisioner warned him about...Three people knelt over something in the middle of the road. He tried to react quickly and pulled the reigns back, unwillingly hurting the horses and making them go separate ways. The carriege lost control and was launched out of the road, towards a large tree and those were the last things Ali remembered before being knocked unconscious...
