Evening fell in Hansburg, and Delia met everyone in the square.

“Any luck?” Lilae asked, holding a sack of potion powder across her back.

The sun began to wane, and more of the people of Hansburg cleared away their goods from the market.

Delia nodded, but there was something more written on her face. “Yes,” she said. “But, I may need to make an unexpected journey to the Barrier.”

Lilae’s brows lifted. “Why would you do that?”

“I had a vision, of Silver Elves,” Delia said. “They have come to the broken Barrier and make their way into Eura.”

“Are they a threat?”

Delia shook her head, a small smile coming to her face. “No, I saw children, and families. They are afraid, and seeking refuge. I will guide them toward safety.”

“Yes. They’ll be safer with you to guide them,” Lilae said, and glanced around at the warrior men who returned from their hunting, and patrolling of the surrounding forest. “I fear the humans around here will be wary of Silver Elves.”

“The humans fear anyone who is different,” Delia said with a sigh. “But, that goes for all of the races. You’ve been kept secluded from one another for so long, it is expected to cause a bit of a stir.”

Risa and Jaiza returned, and Rowe was quickly behind.

Risa blew into her hands, warming them. “I found an inn on the south side of the city with enough space to accommodate us.”

“There are loads of inns around here,” Jaiza said, in awe. “But, the one we’ve picked serves dinner at sunset.”

Liam perked up a bit. “Brilliant. I’m famished.”

“So am I,” Lilae said, and everyone nodded. They hadn’t eaten since morning, which had been an assortment of winter berries Jaiza and Nani had picked for the group.

Delia gave a nod. “You all go and get settled. I’ll return shortly.”

Lilae wrapped her arms around Delia.

“Don’t linger here too long,” Delia whispered. “Wexcyn will be hunting you all. Leave as soon as you can, and make it to Auroria before he can track you.”

Lilae nodded. “I understand. We will leave in the morning.”

They gave each other a warm embrace before parting ways.

With Delia heading away from Hansburg, Lilae hoped they’d manage without her in this new land of suspicious humans. This was what she had been prepared for all of her life. She was a fighter, a leader, and would never forget it again.

As they walked down the stone streets toward the inn called the Black Hare, all eyes remained fixed on Lilae and the others.

It was to be expected. They were quite a sight to behold.

But—as Lilae saw it—soon, the races would all live in harmony one day…after this blasted war.

Once they reached the inn, the lower floor became packed with hungry and thirsty hunters.

Lilae’s stomach tightened at the sight of big, burly Northern men huddled over the tables with large mugs of ale and mead in their hands.

Fearing the worst, she almost suggested they go somewhere less crowded. But, as it seemed, the Northern men were happy to give them their space, even stepping aside to offer a long table beside the crackling fire.
