CHAPTER FOURTEEN

AGAIN THE SWEET VOICE lifted in that familiar call. “Aye! Aye! Aye!”

Hopper’s heart surged as he ran; Firren was running too, across the grass.

Part of the Chosen One was still afraid to believe what he was seeing. But with every step she took, it became clear that he was not imagining things. It was more than just the white tunic with its red-and-blue stripes that announced her—it was those keen black eyes, that strong but graceful manner. This could be no one but the powerful warrior he knew and adored.

“Firren! It’s really you!”

She caught him in a hug. “You’re alive! Oh, Hopper, I was so afraid the exterminators had gotten you.”

“I was afraid they’d gotten you, too. I went into the city to find you, but you weren’t in the trap.” He gave her an astounded look. “How did you manage to release yourself? How did you escape?”

“I didn’t escape. I was rescued. By La Rocha!”

Hopper sputtered and blinked. “But La Rocha is a thinker, an oracle, not a warrior. And if he’s a cockroach, like everyone says, how could he possibly be strong enough to open the cage?”

“I’m not sure he is a cockroach,” Firren said, nearly as baffled as Hopper. “He wears a cloak with a hood, so I couldn’t tell for sure what sort of creature he was.” She smiled. “He was brave, though, and kind. And he led me to you.”
