They left the next morning, Berka a bit hungover. Grent and Dephina were dragging as well.

Before they set off, Grent started to test Edin on his skills with the sword. They sparred and went for a long time. Ten or twenty or thirty minutes.

With Grent, it felt like it had when he’d first set off on this long journey. When death was behind and in front of them, as it was now. There were too many things still unresolved. He’d lost friends, family, and a love.

Then as now, the future was a dark shadow before him. A giant thunderstorm ready to kick up the land with tornados and earthquakes and it was getting worse.

Somehow, the giant thunderstorm in his mind felt like a breeze. There was so much to do and he still felt the weight coming down on him. That of the dematians, the wyrms, and who knew what other beasts of old were still to come out. Edin thought of the giant in Olangia, he thought of the old stories of dragons and wyverns, giant spiders, great sea beasts and serpents.

The land was being consumed by the swamps and forests of old. What did the swamps bring with them? How did he stop it? could he stop it?

Maybe the elves knew a way to fix the world. Maybe they had old magic and that was why the prophecy told Edin to find them. Or maybe not.

Edin looked at the road as it wound through a few foothills to the slowly rising Crady Mountains. There were short and tall peaks, some with sheer shelves and steep grades. Others seemed climbable with hands, at least till the snow-covered pinnacles.

Some were taller than Erastio’s Keep. A fall from that height would be long and fatal. A fall he’d imagined one morning after battling humans in the dark entrance to a mountain keep.

He remembered Arianne knocking him onto his butt when he looked over the edge. He hadn’t told her that he was contemplating jumping in order to save her.

Arianne had told him that they stay and fight or they leave together. She must’ve known he’d do something in order to keep her safe. Somehow, even then she thought he was a good person. Edin didn’t know why.

But now, as Edin stared up at the mountains, he saw a gust and crystal-like flakes floating down in a wave of snow. He wondered if he could do what was needed for the world. Could he keep the people safe? Could he do it without her by his side?

The dirt road rose with the soft incline as they began their ascent into the mountains. To the right and behind him, the lands began to drop away. As far as he knew, the pass wasn’t too much higher than sea level. A few hundred feet maybe. But Edin shivered regardless.

“You okay?” It was Dephina and she was riding in front of him and looking back. “We didn’t keep you up all night, did we?”

“All night,” Edin shook his head, “it wasn’t any longer than a breath on a dandelion puff ball.
