Chapter Five

The morning was cool and I was glad for the extra heat Ian’s closeness provided. I heard Whisk’s tail thump on the ground and I stretched.

“Chaela?” Ian’s murmur had a warning tone to it.

“Hmmm?”

“When you open your eyes, don’t panic.”

I opened my eyes and my heart jumped in my chest. I scrambled onto my knees and reached for my slaggens.

The wood elf petting my dog grinned.

“Master Ian.” He stood and bowed in greeting. His waist long white hair tumbled around him and I had to admit I was shocked by the pale green coloring of his skin and the matching color of his eyes.

Ian stood and returned the honor. “Master Blarenagin.”

Blarenagin stood and grinned at me. “You’re not in the habit of trusting beings.”

I shook my head. “No, sir, I’m not.”

“I am Blarenagin.”

I opened my mouth to introduce myself.

“And you are Miss Chaela McKinney.”

I frowned. “How did you know that?”

“I know many things. I know you seek Garnin’s book of magic. I also know what happened the day it was stolen.”

“You saw who stole it?”

He shook his head. “I do not always see images. Sometimes, the revelations come as feelings, or an odd sense of knowing where something is.”

Ian smiled at my obvious shock. “I told you it was a good idea to come here.”

The wood elf gave Whisk a pat on the head. “Follow me.” He turned on his heel and headed deeper into the woods that had magically appeared overnight. I looked at the massive trees with awe. Their roots seemed to push out of the ground and it was possible to walk under the trunks of the trees. I looked from one to another and nodded to myself. I was sure that I’d be able to ride Klora under them.

“Chaela, let’s go.” Ian handed me my horse’s reins and swung up onto Klard.

“Tell me I wasn’t so preoccupied with my apology to you that I didn’t see a complete forest here last night…”

He grinned. “If I told you they were always here and that you were blinded by my dashing good looks…”

“I’d slap you upside of the head.” I caught the piece of bread he lobbed in my direction and took a bite. “These trees are phenomenal.”

He nodded. “It’s beautiful here. I’ve only been in these woods twice before with Alex. It’s just as amazing this time around.”

I looked in wonder toward the sky. “I can’t tell where the trees end up there.”

He followed my gaze. “Do you know I’m not entirely sure they do?”

I looked to see if he was joking and saw he wasn’t. “Can we only see the trees because we’re with him?”

Blarenagin looked back and grinned, his pointy teeth sending a shiver down my back. “It is, my lady.”

I wrinkled my nose at the title and his chuckle made its way to me on the breeze. We walked in silence for a while, both of us entranced by the forest.

“Now, you’re here to learn of the book I gave to Master Alexander.” Blarenagin’s voice broke through the quiet thoughts I was having.
