chapter TWENTY

At last the rushing horde of yelling riffraff were all gone, scuttling through the hole Elin had found. Little did they know they’d had invisible help getting out of the mountain.

She breathed more easily.

Unbelievable. Neither Sean nor Saul had considered that the wand might also be capable of invisibility. She felt it at her side, occasionally tapping against her. Bless Sally for her wonderful gift. Just its presence gave her confidence. Elin hoped the wand would be useful if she got into even more trouble—she also hoped Tarhazian wouldn’t find out and punish Sally.

It would be a disaster for Tarhazian to know Elin and Sally were close conspirators.

Mmmm, she loved the feel of her sinuous Skillywidden body winding along. But then, her Elin body could be supple in all the right ways, too—if she wanted it to be.

Until Sean and Saul passed her, Elin huddled at the side of the long flight of rough, downward-sloping stairs she had uncovered. She wanted to throw herself at Sean and feel safe in his arms. But this was no time or place for wimps who couldn’t stick to their plans.

Both men kept their voices very low but Elin heard them clearly. She was almost certain that even now she could communicate with Sean. But it suited her to have him think she was guilty only of hearing him and not doing what he wanted, rather than also deliberately not talking to him.

Doing what he wanted? He did still have things to learn about her.

If she were talking to him, she’d say he should use his head not his heart and return to his hound. Conversation with him at present was out of the question. He would only spend valuable time trying to persuade her into something he decided was safer for her.

Saul stopped walking and held up a hand. “This looks like the first inhabited cavern.” He edged forward and leaned into a space that had been invisible to Elin.

“Empty,” Saul said, bracing his hands on either side of an opening he had to crouch to enter.

“Who’s usually here?” Sean said, dropping to his haunches and staring past Saul. “Is that some sort of altar? On the far side. The top looks fluorescent.”

Elin peeked inside. Too bad there isn’t a supply of The Veil hanging around with some extra green I can use. Who knows how many monsters I may need to get rid of in here?

“Yes. An altar. The group that was here fashioned themselves after the original Templars.” Saul went into the cavern. He called back, “They sacrifice whatever they can get their filthy hands on. Like deadly scavengers. They are a banished band of Austrian Verbols. They began as
