As the group walked toward Flint and Xandra, a young Dorokti girl with the features of a hare brought Polas his horse. Her long ears and large feet made her stand out even among the great variety of appearances that made up the Ginakti clan. She also carried a small sack of bread and dried fruits, which she presented to him with averted eyes.

Polas thanked the girl and climbed atop his horse. Somewhere deep inside it felt good to be back in the saddle leading others to battle. He shook the feeling away. His days of being a general were long behind him. These others were not his concern, and if possible, he would leave the children and the Faldred scholar behind at the port.

Polas looked around for a moment. "Where’s Kiff?" he asked Xandra and Flint.

Flint shook his head and shrugged.

"I haven’t seen him since last night, Master Kas Dorian," Xandra said. She bit her lip and added, "Neither of us has."

"Good riddance to the pup," Vor said as he mounted his own horse. "The boy is an adder in our sleepsack, best to leave him to his own demise."

"We’re not actually going to leave without him, are we, Master Kas Dorian?" Xandra asked.

"We can’t wait around for him to show up," Polas said. "If his road has led him elsewhere, then so be it."

Xandra shifted uncomfortably and surveyed the busy village.

"His tent was never occupied, if you are looking for him somewhere within my camp," Vor said.

Kertyah inclined his head to Vor, "I saw a shadow against the stars last night. I can only assume now that it was the dark one leaving us. I’m sorry I did not tell you of this sooner."

"At least we know that he has gone," Polas said. "He is likely better off along a safer path."

Xandra continued to chew on her lip and looked out over the plains, but said nothing.

Vor grinned. "Daylight is burning. We should away."
