We can take you no farther, the Draunskur voice said in Lamb and Anna’s heads. The path you seek is just below, and the two glanced toward a gentle slope before them. It will take you to the sorcerer’s realm. Fare well.

Without hesitation, the flyers took to the air in the direction they had come from, while the assembly on the ground sank into the stone below their feet. In an instant, the two were alone with the shufflers.

“They certainly don’t stand on ceremony,” Lamb said, mounting one of the beasts. The six-limbed reptile-bird eyed him warily as he approached, but allowed him to climb onto its back.

“Indeed,” Anna agreed, and mounted the other creature. “Our destiny awaits,” she said as she willed the shuffler toward the slope. As she descended, Anna wondered why she had said that.

Lamb followed, and the beasts easily climbed down to a familiar-looking packed-earth path that now ran along the foot of the tall mountains on the other side. The gentle rise on their left was covered alternately with thick stands of trees and rocky outcroppings before the steep slopes of the mountains thrust up abruptly. On either side of the path, narrow but deep drainage channels paralleled it.

Without another word, Anna’s mount reared up, its front two pairs of limbs thrust into the air, and then took off down the path. Lamb spurred his shuffler forward and followed at a gallop.
