Max winked, drew a quick runespell, and voiced adaquo, the word for water. The fire suddenly hissed and died in a cloud of steam. Max traced another rune, murmuring another word, and the remains of the steaming fire slowly sank into the ground. When the motion ended, Max couldn’t tell that anyone had stopped there for a meal.

Xia gave him a flat look. “Show-off.”

“Fine. You have point.” He jabbed his index finger toward the nearby woods. “You will find a trail about a kilometer that way. Turn north, and the trail will bring us to Sloobork.” When she raised an eyebrow, he pointed again. “North is that-a-way.”

She nodded and left at a loping jog.

The team found Xia thirty minutes later, leaning on a pine tree at the side of the trail. Her face was grim. “There have been a lot of feet on this trail,” she said as Max approached, “and very recently. Only some of them human. I followed them for a little way to the south, and they just stopped, like they stepped into one of your gateways.”

“Damn! Well, lead us into Sloobork, Xia, but be careful.”

The face of her helmet turned the same camo color as her suit, and Max knew that she was checking her sensors before she headed out.

He turned to the rest of the group. “We may be walking into trouble, so be ready.” He turned his armored face to Shy and Tasaria. “Noncombatants will do as I tell you. I wouldn’t want you killed by one of the beasties on this world or by friendly fire when you go where you’re not supposed to go. Do you understand?” His voice was grim, and both Shy and Tasaria nodded without hesitation.
