We've filled up our water...
I think we're ready to go.

Right.

Stop it! Let go!

Bad boys and girls that break
curfew must be punished by
the magistrate!

No way, we're going
to look for Mommy
and Daddy...!

Leave these children to me. I'll see
that they're properly disciplined.

Stay out of this, stranger!

Please, forgive these children.

I will go and apologize in
person to the magistrate
on their behalf.

Hey...wait, aren't you...

My deepest apologies...!

Do you think that maybe...
I could've handled that better?

Hey, it worked, didn't it?

Thanks for saving us
from those bad guys!

What are your names?

My name is Alph!
My sister's Layla.

What happened to
your mom and dad?

They got taken into
the desert in the
magistrate's big wagon!

Someone told me they're going
to look for Phaeroh!

Phaeroh...!

Yeah...

But what d'ya think they're plannin'
on doin' once they find 'im?

And using the townspeople
to do their dirty work?
It's despicable!

Hey...big bro, are we
going to go look for
Mommy and Daddy?

No, you're not. If you
kids go into the desert,
you'll die for sure.

Ack!

Judith!

We'll look for your parents.
You kids can't go out into the desert.

Really?

I don't lie. ...You don't
mind, do you, Karol?

Nope. Fine by me.

You're surprisingly agreeable.

His guild is guided
by justice, after all.

Thanks, everyone!

Here, take this, 'cause you're so nice!

...A glass bead?

It's a precious gem.

It's our reward for taking the job.

Now that we've gotten paid in advance, we've
got our work cut out for us, don't we, Karol?

Yeah, you're right.

...But what concerns me...

...is that the empire is investigating Phaeroh...
