CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVEN

After Michael and Leon fetched their horses, which had run off during the battle, Aliana explained what she and Tarak had uncovered. “There is a rift in a cavern underneath where Illia portaled in, and it’s causing something strange to the surrounding terrain. There seems to be a connection that holds it all together. The dirt was nearly impossible to break through, and there was a small rock that even Tarak could not pick up because it was connected to so many other rocks.”

“I could pick it up,” Tarak corrected. “But I decided not to when the cavern began to shake.”

“Do you want us to show you the location, Leon?” Aliana asked, ignoring Tarak. “Keep in mind that it is very difficult to get in and out of the cavern, especially with night approaching.”

“No, I will see it tomorrow in the light. Your safety is my highest concern right now. We are going back to the castle, where I will send out a team to secure the corpses we made and begin construction around the crater. I’m also tempted to lock you in the keep like a princess.”

They rode eastward. Tarak could already see the edge of the forest. They had been so close when Aliana had been dismounted.

“Are you angry?” Aliana asked Leon.

“Damn right I’m angry. We spoke about this after the last incident, and you promised me you would not let yourself be in that kind of danger again. How could you be ambushed by so many people? Didn’t you sense them?”

“They had already surrounded us by the time I sensed them. Someone was able to predict where we would be.”

“What do you mean? Like how Caarda can predict?”

“That’s exactly what I mean,” Aliana stated. “Not only did they know where we would be, the Ancient also knew. He constructed something out of mana he knew I would sense. There was a note there that I still have in my pocket. It is addressed to the ranger and the son of Caarda, as if he doesn’t know our names but does know who we are. We figured that whoever organized the attack against us also saw us going to that place through a glimpse into the future. They came from every direction. The only other explanation, one I seriously doubt, was that they were out in the forest all this time waiting for their ranger to sense me, and even then, I doubt another ranger could’ve sensed me before I felt the dozen of them. It has to be a spell of time.”

“Well, fuck,” Michael said. “So there’s someone who wants Aliana dead, and he can glimpse into the future?”

“It’s probably the other way,” Leon responded. “There is someone who can glimpse into the future, so he wants Aliana dead. That might be a clue as to who it is. There’s this real evil-looking fucker I’ve had my eye on.”

“Who?” Aliana asked.

“At least wait until I have more than a hunch before I start tossing around life-altering accusations.
