When they returned to the camp the next morning, no one appeared to know quite what to make of Ulin, least of all Marley Gris, who just stared when they explained she was joining the expedition.

“You’re bringing a lady Fhrey on a trip into the bush? And one that dresses . . . like that?”

“Are you saying you have a problem with me or the way I dress?” Ulin asked, looking down on the man from her saddle.

The guide squinted up at her, focused on the sword lying against her thigh, then pursed his lips as if smelling a trap.

He shook his head. “As long as my pay remains unchanged, I don’t care who the good masters here invite to keep them warm at night.”

“That’s not why they hired me,” she said. “So that job is still open if you’re looking to augment your salary.”

Marley’s face tightened, but once again he stared at the blade. “I think I’m fine.”

“Then I’d say we both are.”

The train of heavily laden pack animals, wagons, grooms, blacksmiths, huntsmen, cooks, and general laborers who had been hired to make the trip across the empire both possible and comfortable readied themselves in the crisp morning air. They lined up beside the smoldering coals and faint smoky wisps of their campfires.

“How long does it take to get to the Nidwalden?” Sadarshakar asked Marley.

“How would I know? There’s not a man alive — Fhrey either, I suspect — who’s ever been there.”

“Well,” Sadarshakar said, “I suppose we had best be off then.” He looked over at Hanis with a smile. “History awaits.”
