Chapter Twenty-Eight

“Adventure! Adventure! Adventure! Adventure! Adventure! Adventure! Adventure! Adventure! Adventure! Adven⁠—”

Dryth stopped in place and grabbed Sindri’s head between his palms. “Sindri, my dear friend. It has been only a few weeks, but thanks to our magical bond, I have already come to love you deeply. That being said, I need you to stop singing the same word over and over again. I have no issues with you singing in general, just not the same thing repeatedly.”

“Okay.”

“Thank you.” He let go of his partner’s head and resumed walking down the road.

“I love you too?”

Dryth chuckled. “I know you do, but thanks for saying it.”

There was some kind of magic trickery afoot with Ewan’s house, which was large enough to be called a manor, because of the road sitting right outside of it. It wasn’t a main thoroughfare or trade route, but it was big enough for two carriages to pass each other going opposite directions, and there was evidence of travelers both on foot and with a vehicle passing by relatively recently. Magic keeping people away somehow was the only answer Dryth could think of to explain how Ewan could say his home was located “in the middle of nowhere” and the road being right there. Still, it meant that he’d been right when he’d said Dryth would only have to walk for roughly an hour to get to town and access the local bounty station.

“I can’t believe we’re doing this,” Dryth muttered.

“Then why are we doing it?”

“Because Ewan’s right, annoyingly enough. The best way to get used to something is by practicing, and I would use the excuse of researching to delay and delay and delay until we never went. So we’re setting off for our first solo adventure, or bounty hunt, or whatever we call it, without the benefit of extra information about the area or the threats in it. We’re no better off than any random person wanting to become a bounty hunter in this region.”

“Is it a solo adventure if there’s two of us?”

“You know what I mean.”

“Being like other people isn’t bad,” Sindri declared confidently.

“No, it isn’t, not inherently. But when it comes to approaching danger I’d like to have every advantage we can get.”

“I get it, but this counts as learning to deal with things we haven’t anticipated, which is good to learn! We’re not always going to be able to research the places we have to go to or the enemies we’re going to face.” Sindri rearranged himself so that he could tuck his wing around Dryth’s head. “We’re gonna be okay.”

Dryth stopped and closed his eyes. Some deep breaths helped with the anxiety, and after a minute, he started walking again. “Thanks. Put your wings away, though, we’re keeping what you are a secret.”

The terrain was hilly, the road winding between dirt mounds or climbing over them, giving the pair occasional glimpses of more hills and dense copses of needle-laden trees. Dryth wasn’t personally familiar with evergreens, and Sindri’s home was much
