Welton waited 'till the fat merchant was out of his sight then he turned left to a small alley of the Promenade.
He opened his right hands and looked at an handful of gold coins.
He smiled then he soflty mourn "Rat-Man sent his best wishes to you...fat and stupid merchant..." He then started to happily whistle and he began to walking straight down the dark street when suddenly it met him against a figure.
The figure spoke "Where are you going now Welton?"
He suspiciously and carefully looked at him trying to recognize him but without success. His face was surrounded by a strange dark aura and he couldn't see through it.
"Who are you?Ho do you do to know my name?"
"Who doesn't know Welton...well...Rat-Man?" the figure replied. His voice played joiky.
"I don't believe to be the most importat person of Seaward"
"In this moment you're the most important person for me" the the dark aura faded off and a beautiful woman was revealed.
"Do you finally know who I am?" the woman asked
"Yes...." everybody knew Sarae Somellin, the Priestess of Eločle.
With fear growing fast he realized he couldnt move himself...he was paralyzed, maybe a spell...
"Does this mean my life is ending?" he knew he had not gold enough to be a target for robbers so he concluded someone had paid Eločle's church to kill him.
"I hope so" replied Sarae
"What an honour for me...the High Priestess herself is gonna kill me...who wants me dead?"
"Me" her voice sounded soflty
"You?
?in what manner did I offend you?"
"yes, you'll be dead today, and I hope a new Welton will born before the day will die"
"Perhaps it's the fear that blocks my tougths but I don't understand"
"I want you as a servant of mine Welton..."
"Why me...? I'm just a..." he stopped for a brief pause..."a Rat-Man...yes"
Sarae Somellin smiled and her left hand caressed his face
"You've got good ears...good eyes..." then she laughed picking the coins from Welton's hands " and you've got a quickly hand I presume. Elolčle appreciates people like you. Let you be my ears, my eyes and my hand Welton...join eločle's church and you'll be no more a Rat-Man"
He realized he was not be longer paralyzed. Sarae Somellin had embraced him
"What's your decision Welton?"
"I'll follow you..."
Sarae kissed him for a long period..."come with me"
