“There are that many combing the area?” Morgan asked worriedly, now wondering if it had been safe to send Grace off on her own.

Then again, if it hadn’t been, Lumia would have warned him otherwise.

“Yes,” Lumia replied grimly. “They’re carefully combing the forest in a line a few miles ahead. I flew back and forth to make sure. Either their scouts are better than we anticipated, or…”

“We have a traitor in our midst,” Morgan finished with a sigh.

There really was no better explanation as to how the enemy could know their location. Their spies in the North could have discovered he was leaving, but there was no way they could have known exactly where he’d be landing. The only one he’d told other than Lumia had been Katherine, though he very much doubted she was to blame.

The likely culprit was one of the other rulers, and he had to make sure she knew about it.

“Go after Grace and make sure to keep her safe,” he said, already digging into his pack. “I’m going to warn Katherine. After that, I’ll come join you. We can close with the line, then teleport past without being seen.”

They couldn’t fly overhead, as the enemy forces, all beastmen, had eyes trained on the sky as well. They apparently also had forces in the trees.

“Are you sure you don’t want me to wait here with you?”

“She’s been gone for fifteen minutes already, and although the enemy is still some way out, I can’t help but worry.”

“She’s really starting to grow on you, isn’t she?” Lumia commented as Morgan finally found the pendant.

“Yes,” Morgan admitted, pushing the small button on the side, and sliding it over his neck.

Grace had only been with him for a short while, but in that time, he was finding that he was starting to care for her more and more. He’d been allowing more of his emotion to show through than normal and had even allowed himself to laugh a few times, something he didn’t think he’d be able to do until Sarah was back with him. That was a discussion to have another time and he shooed Lumia off after her.

“Just make sure she’s safe and ready to go as soon as I’m done. Tell her she has ten minutes, so she’d better be dressed when I get there.”

Lumia brushed one of her wings against his cheek, then took off, flying in the direction of the small stream.

Katherine had yet to answer, so Morgan pressed on the small button once more, wondering if the woman had actually removed the pendant to try and stop herself from calling him. In hindsight, it probably hadn’t been a very good idea to tell her not to contact him, but in his defense, he hadn’t been thinking very clearly at the time.

“Morgan?”

Morgan’s fears evaporated as soon as he heard the woman’s slightly confused voice sound in his mind.

“Katherine, I’m glad you answered,” Morgan replied. “Listen carefully, and if you’re around people, keep your expression the same as before.
