Borrik raced along the air currents, his great wings flapping to propel him ahead as fast as he could manage. Even so, he was having trouble keeping up with the princess below. Though he could not track her progress perfectly, even in the darkness moonlight glinted off her black armor and when she leapt an obstacle, sometimes he could hear her return to running. As it was, she was ahead of him and the distance between them was growing.

They had traveled most of the night like this, after Sara had explained what had happened to him in the forest, and then took a moment to tell the tree people that she was leaving. It was odd, Borrik thought, that Sara would bother with telling them. Then again, he supposed if they had not freed her from her original captors then perhaps she would not now be on her way home. He supposed, by some small measure, she felt indebted to them.

Now, however, they were well on their way. In fact, Borrik could already begin to smell the battlefield where just days ago his master had fallen, and then risen again from the dead. Presently he wished that everyone else had risen as well, for the air he was forced to breathe smelled of death and decay.

Just an hour later they were crossing the frozen lake, or at least what remained of it. By now the water level had dropped so much, draining into the great chasm Seth had made, that the ice had begun to crack without the support beneath it. Great sheets had fallen or overturned and below, Sara was forced to leap great holes in the ice and natural walls of the frozen water. The obstacles barely slowed her, but at least Borrik was catching back up.

At this rate they would be at the city wall in just two hours. Borrik was happy for it too. Leaving Seth alone did not appeal to the giant of a mutated wolf man. He had left his master unguarded just days ago and had not been there to protect the prince when he needed protecting. Something, he assured himself, that would not happen again.

Looking below, Sara stood out against the ice and snow that coated the remnants of the lake. Now she was directly below him and as they reached the eastern shore of the would-be lake, Borrik flew lower as to not attract unwanted attention.
