Shara's heart sank when she heard that and completely froze. Ning frowned as well. "They slipped and fell?" he asked.
"Yes, off a high cliff, it seems. I think I know the place too, around 10 days up the mountain," the man before them said.
Ning thought for a bit, thinking about the cliffs around that time. It would've been around the time they went to the waterfall, either before or after it.
"I don't remember any cliff there," Ning said. "Do you mean downhill? They should've rolled down if that was the case. Their bodies should have been found."
"No, there is a large cliff. Like 2 days before you arrive at the massive forest," the man said.
Ning finally understood what he meant. "You said 10 days," he said.
"10 days when coming, yes. Did you think I meant when returning?" he asked.
"I mean, you are a person of this city and country. Am I wrong to assume that?" Ning asked.
"I suppose not. I was just trying to convert what I know into what you may know since you say you came from there."
Ning nodded slowly. "So they fell around that cliff, huh? Any other information? Are we sure they fell?"
The man looked at Ning, confused. "What are you implying?" he asked.
"Nothing. Just making sure everything you are saying is correct," Ning said. "We need to be sure after all."
"Yes, I am not hiding anything. Look," the man said, showing the book to Ning.
Ning looked at it and it did say what the man had said. And of course, there was additional information surrounding the instance when Shara's parents had died as well.
And he could not believe what he saw there.
The man turned around and narrowed his eyes. "Oh, hey. What are you guys doing here?" he asked.
"Do you know where we might find the nobleman Umad?" Ning asked.
The man narrowed his eyes. "You don't need to find him if you are looking to join the caravan. I can have someone register the two of you," the man said.
"No, we need him for something else," Ning said. "Something that happened a while ago during one of his caravans. We just needed to confirm something."
"I have been his head guard for over 15 years now. If there is something he knows, I will know it as well," the man said. "You can ask me."
Ning paused for a second, feeling stupid at the fact that he could ask this man. Of course, the people who took care of the caravan would know a lot more than Umad himself.
Shara quickly spoke up. "Were you part of this Caravan around 12 years ago?" she asked. "I mean actively going around in it."
"I missed a single caravan journey exactly 9 years ago because my son was born. I have not missed any journey other than that. If there is something you must ask, ask me," he said.
Ning and Shara both felt quite relieved to hear that there was someone who might perhaps remember something about it all.
"12 years ago, my parents died," Shara said, feeling herself choke on her words. "They were part of your caravan."
"I'm so sorry," the man said. "There have been a few deaths, yes. It is unfortunate, each time."
"Could you tell me how they died?" Shara asked.
The man shook his head. "I'm sorry, I do not remember much of what happened in the past. I can only give you bits and pieces of what I could remember," she said. "You might do better to go check their death registry."
"We did," Ning said. "We were suspicious that it was wrong."
"Suspicious?" the man asked with quite a confused look. "What's so suspicious about a death record?"
