Paths to Power

“This is the grove I spoke of earlier,” Selvhara said, pointing towards a thick cluster of trees just off the main road. “Do you wish to set up camp here?”

Jorem sighed and glanced back over his shoulder even though he couldn’t actually see anything in the darkness. Even the pillars of smoke rising from the Ostvaran harbor had faded from view.

“This is probably far enough,” he said. “The canopy should shield us from the wyverns, and I can’t imagine they’d send soldiers this far down the road before they secure the city.”

“The area is defensible,” Kaseya agreed. Somehow, she didn’t look the least bit tired despite the fact they had just jogged for two straight hours in the middle of the night. “Though I would caution against open flames.”

“Says the woman who can keep herself warm with magic,” Valuri grumbled. “We need something to dry our clothes. I’d rather fight a dozen more wyverns than freeze my tits off out here.”

Jorem wrapped his arms around her and pulled her in close to try and share some heat. Her Senosi magic immunity came in handy pretty often, but his inability to shield her from the elements was a real problem sometimes—especially considering how loudly she complained about it.

“We’ll risk a fire for a little while, at least,” he said. “Come on.”

They erected a rough camp in the grove, and he ignited the kindling Kaseya gathered with a quick burst of Aetheric fire. He would have loved to set up a tent and spread out their bedrolls, but sadly they had lost their supplies on the ketch…including all that delicious preserved food.

“Well, let’s see….I’m cold, tired, and starving,” Valuri said as she held her arms over the flames. “Why did we want to come back to the mainland again?”

“Apparently we got bored without people trying to kill us all the time,” Jorem muttered. “Presumably because we’re idiots.”

He glanced over at Kaseya, but her blue eyes remained narrowed and locked in the direction of their new tagalong. Selvhara had volunteered to gather more wood and set up some snares, but Jorem couldn’t see her anywhere in the darkness.

“I will keep watch,” the amazon said after a moment. “If the elf tries anything, I will deal with her.”

“Why wait?” Valuri asked. “Let’s be smart and play it safe for once.”

“Okay, enough posturing,” Jorem said, holding out his hands. “Everyone relax. She genuinely seems like she wants to help.”

“Yeah, well, so did Solemi once,” Valuri reminded him. “So did those mercenaries back at Highvale pass, so did Zalheer, so did that knight in Icewatch…everyone is always friendly and agreeable right up until they slit your throat.”

“We’re not going to hurt her,” Jorem said. “We’ll give her a chance to prove herself.”

Kaseya finally turned to look at him. “We cannot afford to let our guard down in front of a stranger. At least one of us should remain awake at all times.”

“That’s fine. I want us to be nice, not stupid.”

Jorem sighed and rubbed at his temples.
