The days passed, each one filled with new sights and activities. While riding, Sam practiced with his rohw, either generating a “rohw ball” in his hands and passing it from hand to hand, feeling the heat and the resistance as he manipulated the energy, or he used his seed pods. He could keep all five of them in motion now, though it was shaky, erratic motion that often ended with him having to chase the seed pod balls as they rolled on the ground. After lagging behind the rest because he had to stop to pick up his “toys,” and receiving stinging comments from Nalia and a raised single eyebrow from Rindu, he reserved his practice with all five for when they were stopped for a break.

He was almost ready to move on to using pebbles, and he was happy that his skills in both absorbing the energy around him and in using that energy were increasing. Rindu had told him several times that he was naturally gifted in the use of the rohw, that he was easily capable of doing more, but that Sam had to convince himself before it could happen.

Sam, for his part, thought that he might be limiting his progress by analyzing it too much. Maybe Rindu was right and he could make leaps and jumps in his skill, but that didn’t seem reasonable and so he thought it possible that he was holding himself back. He tried to progress. He practiced constantly, listened to everything Rindu said, and he was doing well, just not as well as the monk told him he could do. And he still could not travel back home.

His practice with Nalia was sharpening his fighting skills, and his study with Dr. Walt was helping him understand the unique languages and culture of this world. He loved learning everything he could from all of his teachers, but he felt deep inside that what Rindu could teach him was the most important thing. If he could master the rohw, he could get home. He could challenge the Gray Man. He could keep his friends safe and could get home safely himself, to his mother.

He helped with the foraging also. Edible roots, fruit, and vegetables were abundant and the path through the forest seemed well-traveled, so they made good time. They had not seen anyone else on the path—he hesitated to call it a road—but it was clear that it was used because otherwise the vegetation would have reclaimed it.

When they were two days from Bayton, according to Dr. Walt’s estimate, they came upon the first sign of human presence since they had left Raihar.

Several large logs had been placed directly across the path as it went through a particularly congested part of the forest. They were large enough and spread out enough that they would be difficult for the rakkeben to jump over even if the wolves were running. When Sam, saw the men coming out of the trees, he realized trying to flee was out of the question.
