The sight of the three of them seated at the kitchen table wearing the robes that she had made for them absolutely delighted her. Almera and Draymund were still eating, but Saxloc had already finished and was staring intently at a piece of paper. Audrey had overslept and her head still ached. It had finally occurred to her that her lower weight might have actually decreased her tolerance for alcohol.

Draymund looked up and said, “Thank you for the robe, Audrey. I really like it.”

Saxloc looked up briefly. “Yes, Audrey. Thank you.” Then he went back to reading.

Audrey went to get food and then sat down at the table. Saxloc handed the letter to his father saying, “We will be going to Kaldir tomorrow. It’s important. I’m going to start preparing.”

She watched in disbelief as he walked out of the kitchen. She had been so close last night and now he was leaving? It was happening so fast that there was no real possibility of persuading him to take her along. And she wasn’t really ready. She needed to buy a number of things first.

Audrey waited until Draymund had left and they were cleaning up to question Almera. “Where is Kaldir?” she asked. “Is it a city?”

Almera turned to face her. “No. Have you read about the Great Exodus in your book yet?”

“Yes. People fled to other continents to escape Andoran.”

“Very good, Audrey. Kaldir is one of those continents. The farthest one from here, in fact. If you like, I can show you where it is located on a map in the library.”

“Okay, but I don’t understand. If it’s so far, then how are Saxloc and his friends going to get there?”

“Magic, Audrey. Extremely powerful magic.”

Afterward, Audrey went back to her room and laid down. She felt very depressed. She had planned to start speaking with Saxloc regularly to move things along. That would lead to another dinner, more conversation, and then copulation! It was simple and unlikely to fail. But as always, her plan had gone awry. Although they usually didn’t go awry so quickly or so thoroughly.

Almera had shown her the map in the library. Saxloc was going to be thousands of miles away! On the other side of the world! Then Almera had told her that it was much warmer on Kaldir, which meant that he might stay even longer, maybe even until Spring. Audrey couldn’t even understand how that could be possible. Wasn’t it Winter everywhere now?

She really wasn’t sure what to do. She wanted to continue her pursuit of Saxloc and see where that led. She wanted to go to Rohoville to see Erwin. With Cinda gone, she found herself missing Violet more than ever. She even missed her parents and knew that she should at least have sent them another letter. She thought maybe she could go to Rohoville and then take a caravan to Farmerton, but she didn’t know how much that might cost. And did they even run caravans
