Chapter

Thirty-Five

“This is perfect,” I said, watching the horses investigate the spacious paddock Coralei had brought us to. The narrow, twisty tunnel leading from a cave at the shoreline had only allowed us to bring our mounts through in single file, but at the end, the space widened out after a gradual incline to the place we now stood.

Ringed in by stone cliffs, the area was a good forty yards on one side and close to fifty on the other, a squashed rectangle that tapered at one end. As Coralei had said, it was full of grass, bushes, and even a few trees. It also included a feature she hadn’t told us about. At the entrance, the rock had been chipped out into slots for a number of wooden beams stacked nearby. Though “beams” may have been an exaggeration. They were generally uniform branches, stripped of twigs and even bark, which had to have been there for decades, even centuries. The wood was as hard as the stone the branches slotted into.

There was even a spring at the narrow end of the paddock, constantly adding water to a small depression before trickling off into the rock on that side. I’d tasted it and it was fresh, though I didn’t know how that was possible being so close to the mammoth body of salt water. Coralei had shrugged and said maybe it was created magically a long time before, possibly even by her people.

“With the boards in place, we won’t even need to leave someone to watch the horses,” I said. “They’ve got everything they need and should be safe enough.”

“We can come back and check on them occasionally,” the siren said. “With your help, we might even be able to complete our task quickly enough that we don’t have to.”

“Hey, Gar,” Tip shouted from near one of the stone cliffs walling the place. “Check this out.”

I walked over to the satyr, Brin and Coralei on either side of me. “What’s up?”

“I know how you’re always looking for more holes,” he said, grinning. When I didn’t react after his pause, he let out a little sigh and pointed to the stone.

“Yeah, Tip. It’s rooooock. Very interesting.”

“No. Come around on this side. Right here.” He indicated the spot right next to him.

Humoring him—for the moment—I took a few steps to stand where he wanted me to. When I glanced back at what had seemed solid stone, I now saw a small alcove set in the wall. “Whoa.”

“I know, right? I thought we could put the saddlebags and stuff in here. They should be fine, eh? Better than leaving them in the open or trying to drag them through the water. Even if we can breathe down there, taking all our stuff will be a pain.”

I rubbed my chin. “Good job, Tip. It’s perfect. There’s even that rock shelf that will keep everything off the ground so it won’t get wet if it rains.” I’d been trying to figure out where we were going to keep our camping gear and the saddlebags without them getting soaked through.
