The only way to reach the castle was to pass right through the center of the city. Tom hoped that their disguises would hold out that long. He could see several WANTED ALIVE posters displaying their faces, stuck here and there on the city’s slimy walls.

“There isn’t much trading or bartering going on, is there?” Elenna whispered, glancing from left to right as they hurried on.

Tom shook his head. It looked as if the creatures of the Western City seemed more inclined to fight and argue than trade. Noisy skirmishes were breaking out all across the square.

A fight exploded between two men just as Tom and Elenna were passing.

“Give me my money!” screamed a ragged-looking fur trader. “These are pure fox pelts!”

“Fox pelts?” his opponent roared back. “Cats, more like. You won’t get any money from me!”

There was suddenly a whirl of fists and kicking legs, which Tom and Elenna managed to sidestep. Silver was not so lucky. The wolf gave a high-pitched yelp of pain as the fur trader’s heavy-soled boot caught him in the ribs.

“Silver!” Elenna gasped.

Without thinking, she ran to her wolf’s side and knelt down beside him. As she did so, her hood fell back, revealing her face.

There was a deathly hush in the square, followed by screams of recognition.

“Avantians!”

“Elenna!” Tom shouted, his own hood falling away from his face. “They know it’s us! Run!”
