FARRENDEL LISTENED to the sound of Prince Rharreth’s retreating boots as he left the dungeon corridor after giving them food, checking Farrendel’s bonds, and taking Melantha back to her cell for a few minutes for privacy.

“Is he gone?” Melantha once again sat beside him, her ankle shackled to the floor.

Farrendel stretched his magical sense, just a hint of it, until he could feel Prince Rharreth leaving the dungeon. He tried to follow the troll prince’s progress through the twists and turns of the dungeon, but he lost him quickly, not daring to tap too much into his magic. “Yes, he is gone. And I think, after the corridor we are on and that room with the spring that you mentioned, it is a left, then a right. But I lost a sense of him after that.”

“That is more than we knew before.” Melantha gave a sharp nod, before grimacing. “I wish I had paid more attention when they were dragging me down here. But it all blurred together.”

“It is understandable. You observed more than I did.” Farrendel retraced the route he had just observed with his mind, adding in the details that Melantha did remember. For the past few days, they had spent their time plotting the details of their escape. When the moment came, they would be ready to take it.

He had been planning for this escape for longer than she had, and he had more opportunity to prepare.

With Prince Rharreth leaving them together for most of the day, Farrendel had been able to store a great deal of his magic. Though, he was no longer sure if he was storing the magic or had simply figured out a way to access his magic through the heart bond.

And last night when he was able to use his magic with Essie...that was something rather unexpected. He had been glad Melantha had been asleep at the time. There were some secrets he would keep to himself. He had decided to trust Melantha, but he was still going to be cautious.

“No, there is not much we can plan.” Farrendel flexed his fingers to relieve some of the urge to move. With Melantha’s magic keeping away the pain of the stone, he was only mildly uncomfortable due to being unable to move and lying on rock. By the time he was rescued, his muscles would be weak from lack of use.

“How do you have so much patience when you are the one...” Melantha gestured at him. “All I can think about is getting out of here.”

“I have had practice with this sort of thing.” Farrendel took his own restlessness,
