Chapter 17

“IT’S LIKE YOU CAN SEE the future,” I muttered, looking down from the walls at a group of riders coming through the gates.

The other tamers, inspired by the early successes and with my permission, headed out to the steppe the next day. And now, five days later, we were seeing the fruits of their “hunt.”

The goddess Fortuna did not smile on all of them. Of the twenty tamers, only seven returned with anything. This time it was wargs.

“Pups,” Wheeze commented next to me. “They must have been starving. Look how their ribs are poking out.”

The newly arrived tamers were surrounded and piled on with questions right away. The young wargs were looked over critically, petted, had their mouths looked into and got some shoulder pats. Slightly uncomfortable with the attention, the animals pressed down their tails and ears in fear, but displayed no aggression. Their masters’ faces were beaming with joy. Their chests puffing out, they were eagerly answering every question, trying to talk in glowing terms about their feats.

I watched the proceedings dismally. I hadn’t smiled much for the last few days in general. It was all down to that strange intrusive feeling. It’s like it was stuck in my mind. Nasty. Like I was missing something. Something important. But everything was basically going according to plan. Yesterday, Newtown hit level four right on schedule and had already made some progress toward level five. The size of the supply was up. We had enough mana for all our projects. Honestly, the lion’s share of the energy was taken by the trap masters, who had really pulled out all the stops over the last few days, transforming the path to and from to the portal into an air-tight network of magic traps. The necromancers had many surprises waiting for them.

Mee by the way was constantly at their sides in the forest. Amber reported that, with his help, the trap setting process was going much more quickly. We didn’t have much time to talk, but I could already guess what was happening to him. Which is why I didn’t put any pressure on my brother. I would give him time to realize it for himself.

The once small troll camp on the boundary of the large circle had grown several sizes over the last few days. And it wasn’t done growing. I was there yesterday. Tribes even Farhas had never heard of before were showing up to answer the Call of the Forest. The shaman was clearly out of his element with the influx of other trolls. Ur meanwhile was jubilant and rubbing his hands together in delight! Right now, if Ur were to seize power, he could command hundreds of warriors.

And by the looks of things, seizing power was exactly what he was going to do. The former Citadel of Chaos gatekeeper had clearly made an impression on the other trolls. And no wonder! The average level of all the rest was barely twenty.

But there was one more group in the camp.
