Ning woke up later in the morning. The funeral had gone deeper into the night than he imagined, so was tired and thus slept for longer.
He washed up with the water that was brought over from the river far away and looked around to see only a few people who were still behind.
"Where are the soldiers?" he asked Shara who was by the fire.
"Romus took most of the soldiers to go clean off the armor and clothes they looted after the battle. Matthew… I think he went somewhere in that direction. I don't know where he went."
"Where's Mari?" he asked.
"Still sleeping," Shara said. "I think sleeping the whole day yesterday kept her awake late into the night."
Ning nodded. He looked at his spear that was inside the large carriage and saw the golden spear that was outside of it.
"Did you practice this morning?" Ning asked.
Shara nodded. "I had the time, so I did," she said.
"Did you figure out what power it has yet?" Ning asked.
