Sorin waited until the streets began to fill before he moved away from his post beneath Katrina’s window. He spent the night watching her sleep, replaying their conversation over and over in his head. His body yearned to feel her beneath him again. Her soft cries of pleasure had been music to his ears, and he could easily spend the day making love to her. But she needed time, time they didn’t have.

And he needed her.

He had seen her face. The thought of leaving her family forever was not something she could do. He wished he had more time to woo her, to convince her that they were meant to be together. But time wasn’t on his side.

Already he could feel the countdown to the fifth moon of the harvest year. He had lied when he said he had two months before he had to return. It was less than a month, but he hadn’t wanted to worry her more than she already was.

All he could do now was give her a day or so to think while he hunted the Tnarg. If the Tnarg was dead and she decided to return with him to Drahcir, their way would be considerably less dangerous.

In the light of day, the Tnarg wouldn’t venture into the heart of the city, which is where he prayed Katrina stayed. It would give him some peace of mind while he retrieved his sword. He had numerous other weapons, but his sword was important to him. He and his father had made the weapon, so to lose it would be like losing a part of his father.

Sorin took one last look at Katrina’s window and moved off through the streets. The sky was gray with storm clouds. He prayed the storm held off until he could find the Tnarg. The rain would only send everyone indoors and make it easier for the Tnarg to attack Katrina.

He found another horse at the edge of the city. After a quick look around, Sorin untied the animal and vaulted onto his back. A click from him sent the animal into an easy gallop. Sorin’s gaze searched the ground for any sign of the Tnarg’s tracks. He circled the city twice before he was sure the beast wasn’t there. Then, he turned to the grove of trees.

With his thoughts jumbled, he walked the horse to the grove, hoping along the way he could figure out a way to persuade Katrina to return with him. Thunder rumbled in the distance as the wind began to bend the trees and whistle over the ground. Out of the corner of his eye he saw something move. He jerked his head around, but it was too late.

The Tnarg was fast and stayed out of sight as much as possible. But Sorin knew the beast was there. Waiting.

When Sorin walked the mare to the trees, the horse refused to go in. She sidestepped, jerking her head up and down as her eyes rolled wildly.
