New Ending of The Thief by The Thief by Megan Whalen Turner (free children's ebooks online TXT) 📕

From Gen's Point of View:
I can't believe I had offered to help them escape. I wasn't going to go back to jail, though. I couldn't risk it. 
After Sophos gave me his sword, I reviewed my choices. I could help them escape and risk being sent to jail, if I didn't die first. I could follow them and risk being sent to jail again. Or I could just escape and go my own way, to Attolia, and risk being wanted with a reward of gold. Neither of them seemed very good. 
I decided to follow the magus, Sophos and Pol from a distance. The guards on horseback were coming fast, and they quickly caught up with them. The guards handcuffed them and set up camp before they would go back to Eddis. 
I waited until they were asleep, and then I untied them one by one using Sophos's sword that he had given me. 
"Gen," the magus whispered as I set them free. "You saved us. You really did help us escape."
