DEPARTURE

E ven if there was a spare bed in Gabriel’s room, she spent least time possible there. She preferred being with Viktor and preparing for the journey much more.

“We will only travel in daylight, on the busy main streets after Beleth: it is more difficult for whoever wants to follow us to spot us. As for the road that goes from Lezhen to Beleth, we’ll follow the main path anyway, but skirting the forest. It isn’t a busy road and being seen could be dangerous,” Viktor repeated to Selene studying her green eyes.

“Since tourism has increased, the road could be busier, couldn’t it?”

“Sure, but I don’t think it’s busy enough. However we’ll have the opportunity to consider the situation…” the boy answered.

“You’re right… anyway it’s better not to take risks. The other day I was at the inn and I heard two people talking about strange Mountain Creatures that are coming down to the valley: flocks of volatilized sheep, herdsmen in crisis. The beginning of something threatening.”

“Are you serious? What if it was just a pack of very hungry wolves?”

“In such case they wouldn’t have eaten the sheep’s bones too.”

“I missed that detail,” Viktor said, embarrassed. The two days had passed quickly and the next morning, after breakfast, the two would head for Beleth.

Viktor turned to an old bedside clock and saw that it was now past midnight, so he decided to end the evening by going over the road to follow and the necessary precautions to take. Selene nodded even though she was really drowsy.

When they had thoroughly studied every possibility, the two went to rest.

The boy waited for Selene to disappear behind the door of his room before falling over the bed, where he had been sitting crossed-legged until then.
