Chapter Six

Bareena pointed to the map. “See? There’s a mark here near this island in the Dominion. Is this one you visited in the Dominion? The place where you found the key there?”

I nodded.

“Did you notice an arrow pointing up by any chance?”

I gasped. I hadn’t noticed that before.

“That’s the arrow I saw when I received the key.”

“And it points north on the map. Toward the key in Ko’Torenth.”

“Ummm, maybe?” I said. Wasn’t that kind of jumping to conclusions?

“And did you see another arrow when you received the next key – the one in the World of Legends? Maybe an arrow pointing right? Like the one on this map?”

I stared at the map as the memory flickered through my mind. I had seen an arrow pointing right – in the smoke with the words. Hmmm.

“Yes,” I agreed.

“On the map, it points to Baojang,” Bareena said with satisfaction. “Which means that if we go there next, we have a chance of finding the next key and the next arrow.”

“Can’t you just tell by looking at the map?” Heron asked, hesitantly. He never would have been hesitant before. He’d lost his confidence.

“There are two spots located on the map in Baojang,” Bareena said calmly. “See? Here and here. And each of them is marked by an arrow pointing a different way. One points further east. The other points south. We need to know which one points to the key.”

I swallowed, but this was good information. If she was right about this, it would help us find our way to the next key. And if this had belonged to the Dusk Covenant – our enemies – then Atura probably already knew all of this.

“That’s very good, Bareena,” I said. “Thank you.”

She smiled and folded the map up before handing it back to me with a wistful air. “Don’t lose it. I’m sure there’s more to be mined from it. But it belongs with you and not with these old hands. Now, what are we waiting for? Let’s see if you can do something with this pool.”

I cleared my throat, suddenly nervous.

“I’ll be back in a moment,” I said.

I thought about stripping off my outer clothing, but if she was right and we all had to go into the pool, everything was going to end up wet anyway. That had been fine back in the islands of my home, but here where the weather was gusty and cold it was a lot less comfortable.

I stepped into the water, wincing as the cold leaked into my boots and crawled up my leg. Another step and it was almost to my waist. I shivered. The drop-off was steep. One more step and I was in over my head, breathing in my first breath of water.

I was never going to get over how amazing that was – that I could breathe both water and air. I felt a smile tickling my lips at the thought and I drew in a huge breath to savor the freshness of the mountain pool.
