I stomp out onto the road, glad to be free of the forest. The road is no bigger than a single lane back on Earth, but most are like this on Relvaria. If we were to continue west, we’d enter the forest again, and I have no desire to do that. There are hanje tracks in the snow, so someone must have traveled this road today.

“The tracks are going north, there’s a 50/50 chance that if we follow them, we’ll be moving closer to a village or further away from one,” I finally say.

“Either way, we’ll be heading somewhere. If we continue going through the forest, we could be walking further away from civilization,” Renee says from her crouch near the closet hoof prints. The suns bounce off her brown skin, making it seem like she’s glowing from within. Her midnight black hair shines in a way that it never did on Earth.

“Girl’s got a point,” Caylen says from beside her. I clench my jaw in frustration when she glances up at him as if he had just said the most amazing shit in the world. The way her eyes light up at him pisses me off.

“Fine,” I snap. I follow the tracks north at a slower pace; wanting to be closer to the group now that we’re out in the open. Out here is the perfect place to be ambushed by thieves and bandits, and I refuse to go down like that.

“What made these tracks,” her curious voice says. I want to increase my pace so that I can put more space between us, because just the sound of her sweet, yet sultry, voice has my jeans tightening around my groin.

“A hanje,” Caylen answers, ever-so-eager to please her. “And before you ask what a hanje is, it’s like a mixture of a horse and a bison, I guess. I mean, that’s the closest thing I can think of. It has ears, horns and fur like the bison, but everything else looks like a horse.”

“I bet it’s hideous,” she laughs out loud and I increase my pace just a little. I’m sure ten feet won’t make much of a difference if we’re attacked.

“When they’re young, they’re actually really cute. But I guess you can say that about a lot of things,” he laughs with her. If there was ever a time that I hated how outgoing and personable my brother was, this would be one of those times.

I hope they know what they’re doing. No matter how great she smells, or how soft her skin is, we have a job to do and we can’t let anything stop us. Dad is depending on us, and I won’t put anyone above saving my family.

Titus’ little display this morning has me a little concerned about where his head is at. I’ve never seen him act that way with anyone. And let’s not get started with his little prank with the honey bun. Yeah, I noticed the whole thing. It’s not about the
