Chapter Twenty Nine

Rolling his head on his shoulders Morgan tried to focus. The report in front of him didn’t want to make sense. He rubbed his eyes tiredly, as much from trying to read the print in front of him than from lack of sleep. He sat back against the tree for a moment, the papers balanced on his knee, looking out across the rolling hills to rest his eyes.

It was cool, the earliest days of spring, when pockets of snow huddled in the shadows but the first flowers nodded, small snowdrops, golden daffodils…

If he wasn’t tired physically, he was in spirit. It sometimes seemed he took two steps forward and one back. More and more recruits joined the rebels and some he recruited for the Marshals, but Haerold was also increasing his attacks on the villages, the rebels, and the Fairy. Some of the Hunters had been set to scent, track, and hunt down individual people, himself, Oryan and Kyri included, so it had become a deadly game of cat and mouse.

The light at the end of the tunnel, however, was growing, if only by inches and not yards.

Stretching, he tried to work out the kinks in his shoulders.

He missed Kyri, knowing she would have sensed his discomfort and worked on those shoulders, her strong, long-fingered hands kneading and rubbing until the pain was gone. It had been too long since he’d seen her. But then even two days between meetings sometimes seemed too long.

Shaking his head, he turned his attention back to his report, until he heard the sound of wings and looked up as Dorien settled to the ground, his expression alarming, frightened, worried and furious…

“Haerold has Galan,” Dorien said shortly.

Galan.

The thought of the strong but gentle Fairy Healer in the hands of Haerold’s people made Morgan wince. And then there was Kyri…she would be frantic…heartsick….

Everyone in earshot heard and the call was repeated as Morgan’s folk shot to their feet, rushing to saddle their horses. Morgan didn’t even have to give the order. No one questioned it. Many if not most of them owed Galan their very lives.

That Kyri was already on her way was something Morgan never questioned.

“Where and how far?” Morgan asked, swinging up onto his horse.

“All I know now is west and a little north of here,” Dorien said, “Kyri will tell me more when she finds him.”
