Artur was shocked that Rina had been able to take down a powerful druid and knew he should have kept his mouth shut when she was trying to tell her story. But he oft looked at the last pages in a book he was reading to learn how the story ended, so he couldn’t help himself when he blurted out the words. He swore Erlig shook his head at him, but he was wearing a smile when he had. Artur had probably annoyed Rina, but he was much impressed that she didn’t freeze when the druid turned to face her, and she swung her sword and killed him.

He wondered then what other feats she had accomplished. He knew Dracolin was famous for his, but Artur had never heard of Rina before.

The king asked Erlig, Artur, and Rina to join him to have a talk. Artur wouldn’t have expected him to ask Rina to meet with him to decide on their next plan of action, until she had revealed what they were probably up against and how she had defeated a druid like the one they most likely needed to eliminate.

“Since you have done this before, Rina, what do you recommend?” the king asked her.

She took a deep breath. “I need to go into the woods. I can protect the princess with the party, but I need to scout out where Vladek or his druid, if he is not one, is.”

“I will go with her,” the princess said, joining them in the discussion though she had not been invited.

“Not on my life,” the king said, looking sternly at her.

“Rina is right. I can hear and smell things better than the rest of you can. Not only that, but I hear their voices in my head,” Mirabella said.

“Whose?” the king asked.

“The ones who are trying to kill you. Vladek’s. His men speak and I hear them,” the princess said.

“Can you hear what we are thinking?” Artur asked.

“No, not thinking. I…I believe they can communicate without speaking out loud like we do,” the princess said.

“I’m going with you, Rina,” Artur said.

“No way. I have to do this alone.” Rina motioned to his armor. “You are too shiny, too noisy.”

He began stripping off his armor. Her mouth gaped. Artur wasn’t letting her go into the woods alone. Not only because he wanted to help her, but he wanted to make sure she was telling the truth. He believed she was, but if there was a glimmer of a chance she wasn’t, he had to know that too. What if she was who she told them she was and she found Vladek, but she didn’t make it out of there alive? At least one of them had to get back to the king and report.

“You cannot blend with the trees or other objects. You won’t last a minute in the woods on your own with the knights all about. When his dark arts knights see you, I will have to attempt to save you. Then the knights would know I’m cloaking myself.
