They made it out of the Lake and the woods intact much to Astrid’s miscalculations. She expected at least a couple of wolves to hunt them, or a few pixies and fairies to jinx them.

But they got none of it. No jinx or hex or nasty magic reached them. Astrid shook her head glancing back at the Lake. Something was coming and it was fairly not good at all.

By the gods, Astrid would have preferred to be chased by a giant squid than face an entire legion of White Beasts, ready to peel her tender flesh from her bone with their horrendous, primitive daggers.

No gods, no. She shook her head. She valued her skin too much.

Astrid’s horse halted and Arslan stopped his horse a few feet away from hers. He turned his head and looked at her. Astrid’s gaze was fixated on the mountains ahead, on the ice and toil that awaited them. Arslan was not strong with magic, but Astrid could flash them to Birilla if she was closer to the White Beasts’ caverns.

Getting closer meant greater danger of being captured by those creatures. Astrid would do anything to avoid a meeting with them.

Arslan huffed loudly and said, “Can you not flash us in?”

Astrid rolled her eyes. “No. I don’t know where Birilla is, but I can flash us close to where I think it might be.”

“So we are going somewhere that might not even exist?”

She turned her head and glared at him, pursing her mouth. “What is wrong with you, Arslan? I thought you wanted to help me gut the King.”

He bit his cheek. “I do, but isn’t it a bit risky to come out here, searching for something that might pretty well be a speculation?”

Astrid clicked her tongue and tugged at the reins angrily. “Cassia said it is out there. So there it is.”

“It’s not that I don’t trust her, but...” He shook his head. “I don’t trust her, Astrid. She has been killing men and elves for the King’s pleasure for far too long, nothing remains pure for... that long.”

“I don’t think I asked for your comments on the matter.”

Arslan grunted loudly. “Will you ever stop treating me like that?”

“How old are you, five?” Astrid dismissed the whole conversation with a motion of her chin towards a clearing. “We go there. I can flash us at the end of the sierra.”

She tugged at the reins and the horse sprinted towards the clearing.
