Treb and Kiin traveled through the night and into the morning. Nowhere could they find a good enough place to camp and rest. The area was either too open or flat, easily making them vulnerable for inspecting eyes. Fortunately, it had been a quiet walk through the mountains since that last encounter where they took the dagger from the Shlan warrior.

“Are we lost?” Treb asked Kiin while he made his way up the path toward a gap in the peaks.

Kiin pulled out her map and looked at it intensely. “I think we're on track.”

“What makes you say that?”

She looked around to get a clear idea of where on the map they were, matching the mountains and rivers. “When I watched Markus point out where the Citadel was, I made a mental note of it and I think we're getting close.”

“I'm not so sure.” Treb stopped just as they were about to crest the path and head back down the mountain.

Kiin folded the map up, “What makes you say that?”

“We've been traveling for days and found nothing. Now, it has been almost twelve hours since we saw any signs of the Shlan or Morris. If they're heading toward the Citadel too, then one of us is lost.”

“Markus said that no one knows where the Citadel is. That without Tolen’s book and instructions, we would not be here. So, between us and them, I would say we know more of where we're going. If anything, it's the Shlan and Morris who are lost and I say good riddance.”

Treb laughed and shook his head. “You have a knack for always looking on the bright side when I'm being the pessimist.”

Kiin walked past him toward the top of the gap. “One of us has to stay hopeful.”

Treb let out a defeated sigh. “I just don’t want to be wandering aimlessly around these mountains for weeks while our kids are scared and lost.”

“Well, all I can say is…” Kiin stopped in the middle of her sentence and her eyes widened. She was looking out to the other side of the gap. Even her tail had stopped moving.

Treb hurried alongside his wife and looked down upon what had her so engrossed. There before them was an ancient city. All of the buildings were destroyed and the roads had cracked and broken eons ago. The city lay on a plain that was in between two large sections of the Barren Mountains. There seemed to be even less life here, if that were possible.

“What happened?” Kiin asked.

Treb shook his head. “I don't know. It looks like something crushed the whole city at once. This reminds me of the Port of Sapphires after that tidal wave ten years ago.”

“But, the ocean is a long way away.”

“I have no answers. Whatever did this did it a long time ago.” Treb started down the path. “I'm betting this path will lead us to the Citadel.”

Kiin hurried after him and grabbed his tail to stop him. “Wait, it could be dangerous. What
