The earliest signs of dawn came before I made it to the cliff top. Most lights in town were extinguished, except by the docks. That place never slept. As I stared up the mountain at the citadel, it shone bright, all its lights ablaze against the night sky. They must still be searching. I’d never been to this part of the island before, though it sat near town.

I didn’t have much energy left and I boasted a host of new bloody scrapes and bruises. Without the gauntlet, I would have fallen at least a dozen times. It had already morphed back into my bracer. I ran a hand over it in thanks.

Heading in the direction of town, I eventually stumbled upon a road but stayed in the shadows. I couldn’t take any chances of the wrong people seeing me. I lurched along, tripping and falling. At this rate, it would be light before I’d get to the city.

One pain-filled step after another. Twig’s safety the only thing that kept me moving.

The sun hadn’t quite risen by the time I arrived, but the docks were teeming with sailors and vendors beginning to open their businesses for the day. I tried to draw as little attention to myself as possible. Not easy with my torn finery, but the light of day hadn’t yet made it too obvious. I looked more like a street rat than anything. Fingers crossed, anyway.
