The sun was just above the horizon to the south when they packed up and continued east. They reached the Ridge an hour later. The Ridge was a low mountain range and a natural separation between the Wilds and the ten kingdoms of Bolaji. Their peaks, though not high, were grueling to travel on foot. The animals they’d brought would have just as hard a time navigating the rocks with their wide legs.

“The ridge is treacherous,” Lu pointed out.

“I know, that’s why no one will follow us there,” Rasha said.

“We could cross the ridge and make our way on the other side,” Jak suggested. They both looked at him with disbelief.

No one said anything for almost a full minute as they all considered the possibility.

“I don’t like it,” Rasha said at last. Chiza nodded in agreement, though she didn’t have a vote.

“I do. It’s brilliant. We’d have the best of both worlds. No one wants to deal with the Wilds and they won’t be able to track us through the desert. I think we should do it,” Lu said.

“Are you getting any communications?” Rasha asked him.

“Nothing. I’m still blacked out. Nothing going in or out. It won’t be better on the other side of the Ridge, but it also means we’ll have less of a chance of being traced or tracked.”

“There’s nothing on mine either,” Rasha said looking at the blank square.

“So, are we agreed?” Jak asked.
