Book Three Chapter 3 Overview

Erut, the errant Kevutian soldier escapes from the shop with the help of the shopkeeper who claims anyone running away from soldiers deserves to be aided. Erut finds himself in the marketplace and nearly gets caught again when the villagers attack him and a group of soldiers show up to find out what is going on. He escapes to the rice fields where he finds it disturbingly quiet until a band of freedom fighters called the Sifuti surprise him, put a hood over his head, and take him away.
