“Erenye? Wake up,” Brynn whispered, shaking my shoulder.

It was twelve-thirty, and I blinked, wanting to swat her away. But then I remember: it was my turn at watch. I quietly climbed out of my sleeping bag and slid on my boots and followed her outside. Shivering, I decided that I’d buy a cape when we reached the next town—something durable and warm.

“Has anything happened tonight?” I asked, accepting the mug of hot water she handed me. It helped warm me up and also served for hydration. We needed to remember to drink while we were on the road.

She shook her head. “No, it’s been quiet, although I always feel something’s watching me—ever since we took to the road.”

“I know what you mean,” I said. “All right, go to bed and I’ll wake up Thornhold at two-thirty.”

She gratefully slid back into the tent as I settled on the log, using a stick to stir the fire. Brynn had stoked it well, so it would be another hour or so before I needed to feed it with more wood. Brynn had left a deck of cards by the log, and I slid down to sit on the ground so I could play solitaire by the campfire light.

The glow strengthened, and my stomach twisted…just a little. As I cautiously moved toward the light, it grew in intensity. Frowning, I inched closer. Then, without warning, a globe of light shot out from behind one of the barren oaks.

I jumped back, then froze. It wasn’t a creature—not any that I’d seen. No, I was facing a globe of pale pink light about six inches in diameter. I tilted my head, trying to remember all the game lore that I knew, but nothing came to mind.

The next moment, the pink orb was joined by several others—one green, one blue, and yellow one. They flashed, blinking on and off. It almost looked like they were talking, and I was so fascinated that I forgot to keep my guard up.

The next moment, one of the lights shot forward and bounced against me. I yelped as it jolted me, the current stinging me hard. The next moments, the other orbs came sailing toward me and
