“It looks like algebra,” Russell grumbled. “Super Extra Advanced Algebra.”

“See,” Eliza said. “The photos are worth more than the clues, and we’ve only gotten one. We should take the long route and try to get more.”

“No, you shouldn’t,” Jace said, moving away from the group. “You received a direct order. The organizers told you to head to the nearest shelter. That’s what you should do.” He glanced upward, scanning the cliffs.

Eliza responded by zipping her coat and forcing her hands in her pockets, her movements sharp and quick.

“If you aren’t worried about your safety, maybe you should be worried about getting a penalty,” Jace suggested. “From Bull Gordon himself.”

Even Eliza flinched. No one wanted to go up against Bull Gordon, the director of the race. He had wrestled grizzlies, and was as tough as they came.

Sage put her hand on Eliza’s shoulder as they all started walking. “It’s not just a race,” she said under her breath. “We have to be safe.”

When they reached the fork in the path, Jace stepped over to the left and blocked the uphill track.

“Okay, I get it,” Eliza said. As they turned down the gravel road that led to the village, Russell was certain he saw a pair of horns poking over the ridge, but he didn’t say a thing.
