Chapter 10

Sawain, Tobi, and Naralei walked quickly across the lawn to the front gate of Rowan Circle Fortress, with Jatharr not too far behind. Tobi sighed, a smile on his face. He sounded slightly out of breath as he mused aloud.

“I'm so glad we have the Director's blessing to go out. I was worried we would get kicked from the program, and now we're actual rangers!”

Sawain noticed that Naralei was looking at the ground as she stalked along. There was something in her eyes that made Sawain feel uncomfortable. He decided to question her about it.

“Something wrong, Nara?”

She jumped slightly, as if she was shaken from a dream. She shot him an uneasy glance.

“Well, it's just that I wonder if we realize what we are getting ourselves into. I mean, I've heard stories of Bitterdeep Bog. They say there's no solid ground at all in the area. Most of it's vacuum-like mud that will swallow you up in an instant if you fall in. It's called Bitterdeep because there's no bottom to the bog. At least, that's what they say.”

Sawain was still feeling confident, “So, we'll stick to the trees. We've had plenty of practice with that before. That shouldn't be a problem.”

Naralei glared at him, “Well, what about The Dark Elf Tribals? That's on the edge of their territory. Fighting our way through there will be different from fighting the illusions in the training thicket. Also, do you even know how to get to Bitterdeep Bog? Because I don't.”

Sawain's heart skipped a beat. He stopped and scowled at Naralei.

“Wait, you mean you don't know how to get there? You grew up in Alfhaven.”

Naralei returned the scowl, “I grew up in the city of Alfhaven! I've never gone more than a few hundred yards outside of the dome. It's too dangerous out there for young ones to travel.”

Sawain sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose. He closed his eyes and tried to think of a solution.

“Well, Tobi, you know a lot of random things. Please tell me you know where to find a guide.”

Tobi scratched his scalp and twisted his face for a moment. Sawain was concerned that he might think too much and burst. Finally, Tobi's face returned to normal, with a big smile plastered across it.

“I know what to do! We can get a map!”

Sawain and Naralei stood in impatient silence as they waited for Tobi to go on with his plan. A few seconds passed and Tobi's proud smile faded into a look of confusion. He looked from Sawain to Naralei, then back to Sawain.

“What?”

Sawain sighed, “Tobi, where do we get the map?”

Tobi perked up again. Excitement filled his features.

“Oh, yeah! I know exactly where to go! We can get one from the old Cartographer, Xilthen.”

Naralei smiled, “Great! So, where does Xilthen live?”

Tobi looked away from his friends and ran a hand along the back of his neck.

Sawain began to grow impatient, “Well, Tobi?”

Tobi jumped at the severity in Sawain's voice. This made Sawain's heart sink. He didn't mean to scare his friend.
