The sobeksis didn't like it, but he touched half a dozen slaves on the chakras of their bodies. Most of them looked at him, but then shrugged, apparently without feeling much difference.<br/>After that, the sobeksis turned towards Cynis Zefira and looked at her with his big eyes, full of regret for the pain he was going to cause her.<br/>"Relax, girl. It will hurt you less if you do... and I will know what the Mistress asked at the end."<br/>Then he began to look in her eyes. She let a short scream, surprised from the unexpected pain, before regaining her composure. It took only a few seconds, during which Mariula was asking questions and the sobeksis was looking. It certainly took less than a minute. After the sobeksis looked away, she seemed to lose her balance, but regained it before long.<br/>Then Amenech of the stale waters looked towards Mariula and explained.<br/>"You can find Cynis Fern somewhere in Chiaroscuro. He's got some kind of a mission, but what... only the heads of Cynis and the Dragons know. Probably the Maiden of Sectrets, too. The other Cynis ships in the region - there are lots of them. She remembered about at least 5 ships in the near few cities. It's hard to miss them, obviously, so I didn't delve too deep there. And there is one more on the harbor of the last city we were in. Concerning the buyer for the slaves, she had no idea, and I can guarantee that. She was going to hand them over to another merchant who would transport them by land. Their final destination is unknown to her. Maybe somewhere on the Blessed Island is all she knew. She does know the location of some manses. One of them is near to Eagle's nest. I can now brig you there, if you choose so. You've got her own hearthstone, and it is from the manse she knows of. I was able to find two secret compartments in the ships. One of them is in her wardrobe, behind the wall, containing mostly her tools. Drugs, poisons and things like that, mostly. The other one is in one of the berths, under the floor tiles. They hide money there - just in case someone happens to take control of the ships. They were planning that against Lintha pirates, though, and not against the likes of you, Sea Witch. That's all she knew, and I can bet a tooth on it!"
