"Coe familiar hand wrapped around ry Wolfe

I was dragged out through the fragments of the doorway and into the hall, only to be pushed behind Wolfe at the sound of yelling to the right of us Jesper ca down the hallith Nalia at his back Wolfe stared they as the two thugs were thrown back up the corridor froainst the back wall before cruht ash on his arht?" Iain to wrench rowled at hian," he assured e chunk of door off of hi look as Wolfe continued to haul me up the narrow corridor, and just as we turned left, Ito bri nod just as I disappeared

"You have telekinesis too?" I hissed at Wolfe as we hurried along this next hall

"Shut up, Rogan"

I raised et out of here Mind made up, I yanked my arm free from him and picked up my skirts As I ran, Wolfe ran with h the back door…

…Only to be confronted with two of Kir’s thugs, s in confusion at the two horses tethered to a drain pipe on the next building

Their roll ups dropped to the sodden wet ground as theirus Wolfe didn’t even say anything, he just flicked his hand and the two of the brick (I thought Itoo) I decided noas not the time to question Wolfe about his abilities Instead weto untie the two horses Kir had ed to procure for us With me at Wolfe’s back we hurried off into the streets of the rookery, the horse’s hooves echoing against the buildings in frightening voluainst the slickness of the cobbles with more proficiency than I could have expected, and ere heading out of the rookery, past the glass works, and into the green of the Vasterya I realloped down the muddy trade road, past farm country, Wolfe slowed a little untilrain froet soic, but…"

Understanding that he wanted peric to find a safe place to stop, I decided it was the perfect opportunity to get so?"

He was scowling at ainst the stark dullness of the day "What do youout froainst hiic you have? I want to know about you and Kir I want to know about the horseshoe"

"That’s none of your business, Rogan!" Wolfe shouted back to be heard over the weather and the horses I could have sworn he looked frightened

He was right It was none ofme crazy and I needed to stay focused on Haydyn This distraction had to be dealt with "I’ it my business"

"If we don’t find a safe place to stay that’s on you!"

"No" I shook my head "That’s on you What’s so ian You know private, as in none of your business, as in you don’t need to know!"

"Yes, I do!"

"Why?!"

For a ain, uilt I clenched ether Finally I aze "I don’t knohy"

I don’t knohat Wolfe saw in h to find it and finally nodded "Fine"

"You’ll trade?" I asked in surprise

"I’ll trade"

"Then ask away"

"Rogan, I need you to find us soet us there by a safe route"

My ic washed over me in a ave and I was alain in the downpour I felt the pull of the little farlad at the thought of the danger free journey I felt ahead of us "Follow e came in handy It took us a few days but we crossed the border into Daeronia with little probleer and exhaustion) and soon our olfactory senses were boe brewery to the west of us as we headed towards Caera It would take another half day or so to ride onto Caera, so I took us off the main trade road and into the fields towards a tiny faric toldus with questions Since ht to tell her he was one of the Guard and we had gotten into some trouble at the rookery in Vasterya

"Oh, I heard about all that trouble at the border" She nodded, leading us past her little sitting rooer farm kitchen The smell of home-cooked stew caused my stomach to rumble and I clutched it in eestured to the table for us to take seats "Sounds like the two of you were lucky to get away"

"Yes, reed "We really appreciate you helping us"
