The three companions closed their eyes as a breeze grew in strength. The sands sprinkled over Eloria’s face, and she wrapped the blanket over her head. She sighed deeply as her thoughts drifted away.

Her necklace warmed as the crystal rested at her throat. She opened her eyes to see her blanket-cocoon washed in the soft green light. Her lips parted to speak, but before she could utter a word, her blanket was pulled aside. “Eloria,” Viator said as he stared at her. Her gaze met his and he frowned as he looked down at her necklace. “I have to know what power you possess.”

She shook her head, sighing deeply. “I can’t say, Viator. I have no idea why the necklace glows from time to time.” Except when she used it to channel her abilities. But she hadn’t been doing any of that all the time it had been glowing on and off since she’d been here. She wondered if it had something to do with the elves’ world. Like the magic on the planet was influencing it.

“Very well, it’s time.” He jumped up from his cloak bed.

“But we have rested no more than a few seconds—”

“Five hours have passed.” Viator pointed to the sun’s lofty location in the blue sky. “I must accomplish my task.”

Eloria stood, then brushed the sands from her gowns.

“I had the most disturbing dream, Eloria. You won’t be safe with me, I fear.”

“You said I would not be safe while Lars, crown prince of the river elves, wishes to use me for his own dark purposes, should he take me back to Darkland Forest.”

“Aye, that’s what I said.”

Viator strode to the water’s edge. He stretched his wings, then rose toward his destination. She studied the rocks. They were barren again.

She folded her arms as Viator swooped down in a pass over the rocks to see the matter.

Before another wave crashed upon the coral-covered rocks, Viator settled down briefly, then reached into the sea. Eloria held her breath.

“What is he doing?” Balen walked up beside her.

She shuddered and glanced over at him. “I didn’t hear your approach.”

“You were sort of concentrating on the prince.”

“I’m not sure what he’s doing.” She turned her attention back to Viator.

Viator lifted his wings just before a wave smashed into the rocks. Balen sighed deeply. “He mustn’t get his wings wet...not if he wants to fly again.”

“And he can’t swim.” She walked into the water. The tips of the waves tugged gently at her feet as the water rolled in and out.

“No, winged elves can’t swim. It wouldn’t matter anyway. If he were to slip into the water, the mermaid would take him into the deep and drown him.”

Viator circled around the rock, then landed again. He reached into the water and this time his back muscles tightened as he strained to pull something from it.

Eloria frowned. “What in the world is he doing?”

Balen shook his head. “He’s concentrating on the task so hard, he isn’t paying attention to the waves.”

Eloria tugged at Balen’s arm.
