Chapter 12

Bran let out a relieved sigh. “Finally. I was not looking forward to sleeping on the ground, I’ll tell you that.”

I stared at him. He couldn’t be serious? It struck me that Bran might be on the spoiled side. “You realize that none of us are looking forward to camping out, but I think it’s safer than just traipsing into an inn that just appeared out of nowhere.”

“There is no safety in this realm, regardless of where we sleep. And if someone bothers us, we can handle them.” He sounded so cocky that it scared me. Why the hell had Derisa and Aeval insisted he come along? At least Morgaine seemed to have a level head about this trip. She knew it was dangerous, and she wasn’t taking chances.

As if reading my thoughts, Morgaine shook her head. “We are all weary and the trip is only going to become harder, but we don’t dare chance the inn. Just keep on moving. We aren’t far from a wooded glade, and there we will find shelter in the trees just off the path.”

Morio cleared his throat. “For once, I’m inclined to agree with you. This is not a realm to be taken lightly, and while we have a fair amount of power at our fingertips, there are creatures far stronger and more deadly than we are.”

Bran’s eyes narrowed to slits as he stared at Morgaine. “Do you forget what we discussed before we left? Do I have to remind you?”

Okay, this was a new one. I glanced at Morgaine, who flinched. She pressed her lips together and stared back at him. Anger rolled off of her in a wave, so palpable I could almost feel it.

She let out a short huff. “You might want to keep your mouth shut, Raven Master. Use up your tokens now and you won’t have any for later. A promise can only be leveraged so far, you realize?”

What the hell could Bran be holding over Morgaine’s head that would make her cave? And the more important question: Did Aeval know about this little matter when she ordered him to accompany us?

I glanced over at Arturo and Mordred. Arturo looked unfazed as usual. He was a rough read, that one. But Mordred looked pissed. As he gazed at Bran, a sneer flickered on his lips.

I shivered. The three of them made for a dangerous triangle, and whatever stakes they played for were far too high for my comfort level.

Delilah nudged my elbow and I gave her a surreptitious nod before leaning against my staff and whistling.

“Listen up. I have no clue what’s going down between you two, but whatever the issue is, we’re not part of it. You can do what you want, but the rest of us will take our chances in the woods ahead. We’re not going into that inn. If it showed up out of nowhere, it can vanish just as easily.”

Bran didn’t even bother looking at me, but continued to stare at Morgaine. “Moon Witch, you are under orders to the Queen of Dusk.
