"Free to go?" George asked.
"Yes," N'bayé said as she stepped over the corpse of the fallen sage monkey.
"Where are you going?" George hesitated before asking.
N'bayé did not stop walking, she got closer to George with a relaxed attitude.
"Oh, George. You and your annoying questions. Makes me just want to strangle you sometimes." N'bayé shook her head.
"I'm going to join the grand scheme, George. Don't worry, you won't miss us.
We'll still be in touch.
Just that the All-King had judged that for you all to grow and reach the level of might your ancestors once had, you need a little sprinkle of freedom."
She walked up to George and stood in front of the black-furred monkey. George stared expressionlessly into N'bayé's eyes. He could see that even at this moment, she was still calculating things in her mind.
"Who is the All-King?" George asked the question that he had always been asking, but never received a serious answer.
