Markus sat on the log with nothing to do or say. Treb was wrapping the rest of the deer meat into some cloth so they could have it to eat the next few days. The way he ripped the meat apart with his bare hands sent chills down Markus’ spine. Was Treb thinking about someone he would like to rip apart like that?

Once Treb had finished packing away the meat, he pulled out his map. It was a basic map of Gallenor that did not show the location of the Citadel, but it did show him where they were and where they were going.

Markus waited for something to come to mind so he might open up a pleasant dialog between them. But, there was simply nothing he could talk about. So, he pulled out the Codex again and opened it. He flipped page after page and looked at it intensely, trying his best to make sense of anything. However, the only sense he could make of it was that some pages had spells, while others just had a lot of words. Spells were written differently, though he could have been wrong about that. After turning the book upside down, holding a page up so the light could shine through it, and even looking at the edges of the pages, Markus shook his head and turned it to the last pages that showed him where to go. At least he understood this page.

Looking up, he peered through the trees to see the silhouettes of hills in the distance and he knew there was a river they had followed on the far side of the road near the forest. After gauging the few landmarks around them, he turned again to the map inside the book. He wanted to see if he could figure out where they were. He found the river and hills, but the way they were drawn did not show him his precise whereabouts. It really didn’t matter. Until they got to the mountains in the north, Treb’s map was far superior. But Markus pretended to be focused on his work.

Once Markus tired of holding the big book, he closed it and set it down. He looked at the stars and realized something. “What time is it?” he quietly asked.

Treb looked up and then shrugged. “Probably eight hours till sunrise.”

“Oh, so it’s not quite midnight yet. Oh, well, it really doesn’t matter anyway.” He was talking to himself more than to Treb.

Treb frowned. “What are you going on about?”

Markus smiled. “It’s my birthday. I almost forgot. I turned sixteen today. I had always looked forward to this birthday, and here it is, and I’m sitting on the forest floor, practically alone.”

Treb let out a sigh. “What did you expect on your sixteenth birthday?”

Markus smiled at the stars. “I had expected to be heading into school to become a wizard. I thought I might even be searching for a mentor to apprentice under. It was to be the start of my
