All the other bounty hunters were rounding up the other elves. Alex was returning with the three young ones he could hear them. "count heads, how many" Said one. Another hunter said "we have about 13" "damn it we're missing three" Alex then shouted "correction we have them all" the other hunters gave a cheer. Alex said "check them for brands." The hunters began to check them. "I've got a few with Miric's brand" " there are others with brands for a few slave dealers." Alex checked the kids and the young female elf "these three are not branded" One of the other hunters said "does that mean they were born free." Alex said "no it means that are from the linked town." Alex then said "I will personally escort them back to the town you take them to their owners." Alex then put the young elf and elfs kids on a horse. Alex got back on his horse and began to ride back toward the linked town.
