TWENTY-TWO

It didn’t take Logan and the other Druids long to catch up to Galen and Reaghan. He’d have liked to have had more time with Reaghan, but that would have to wait until they reached the castle.

Reaghan had been lost in thought, and Galen had left her alone. She had much to digest after what she had learned. He knew the elders would not like it, but Reaghan had a right to know.

The long, low whistle that came from Logan at the back of the group caused Galen to turn around. Logan pointed to the sky. Galen spotted the falcon almost instantly.

“What is it?” Reaghan asked.

“That same peregrine was with us as we left MacLeod Castle and when we reached your village. It’s also decided to make the return trip with us.”

“You believe there is something to it?”

He smiled and resumed walking. “Oh, aye, Reaghan. For sure. I’ve learned when dealing with magic that there is no such thing as coincidence.”

“What will you do about the falcon?”

“Nothing. For now. We’ll see what happens when we reach the castle.”

They walked in companionable silence the rest of the morning. When they stopped to rest for the noon meal Galen left Reaghan to the Druids and sat beside Logan some ten paces away.

“What did you learn from Reaghan?” Logan asked.

Galen picked a stem of grass from the ground and sighed. “After what she had told me she saw in her dreams I knew she had to know the truth.”

“You told her?”

“I did.”

“And?” Logan asked. “How did she take it?”

Galen looked at Reaghan. “She was upset, but she is handling it well. It willna be an easy path for her, but keeping it from her seemed wrong.”

Logan grunted as he swallowed his food. “I think you did the right thing.”

While Galen had been listening he spotted something in the sky. A dark shape that was too big to be another bird of prey. “Logan,” he said in warning.

Logan shot to his feet, a smile spreading over his face. “I think we might be reaching MacLeod Castle sooner than expected.”

Galen climbed to his feet. There was only one Warrior who could fly, and thankfully, he was on their side. “It appears they are still some ways out.”

“Is Broc carrying someone?”

“I pray it’s Fallon.” Galen glanced at the Druids, who were now staring at him and Logan.

Logan groaned. “God’s teeth. Now they get to meet more Warriors.”

“They would have eventually,” Galen mumbled. He walked over to the Druids. “We will be reaching the castle very soon. Somehow the other Warriors at MacLeod Castle learned we were on our way. They’ve come for us.”

Odara looked around before she turned and frowned at Galen. “Where are they? And how do you know?”

“Because Broc can fly,” Logan said, and pointed to the sky.

The Druids as one looked in the direction he indicated. Several gasped.

“Do not be afraid,” Galen said. “Broc is a friend.”

Logan shook his head as the Druids huddled together, talking. “They willna ever stop being afraid, will they?”

“It’s been ingrained in them.
