The rest of the day was filled with gathering gear and weapons. The most that Will received was a knife, five inches long at most. It reminded him a lot of field exercises in the air force. He finally ended up fully clothed, much like Tripp’s battle gear, and carrying about thirty pounds of gear; nothing compared to the military ruck marches of his past. He was also assigned a horse. He hadn’t even seen any horses until now. The horses were kept penned up in the small section of the village located in the forest, and they were absolutely amazing. The size of Clydesdales, their color was a Missouri clay red, with patterns of black all over their bodies. Will’s horse was about six feet tall and a dark reddish brown; its eyes had the same fire as the Algaer. He wondered for a moment what could give the people and these animals the same characteristics.

After about an hour they began their journey. Tripp and Will were required to stay with the chief and Kellin; maybe to ensure the safety of the chief and his son, Will thought, using the Hiktar as a shield to save themselves.

Toward the back of the group, Will saw Awad riding by himself. He looked like he hadn't slept for days. Seeing him made Will furious; why couldn't he just stay with Lo Su and Fernando?

They rode for hours toward the North. The trees disappeared every once in a while, revealing vast grassy fields decorated with beautiful flowers. Eventually, they stopped and rested; no one – even among the Algaer – was used to riding this long. Will remembered thinking, it’s an island. Where were they supposed to travel? To the edge and back for fun? It turned out that the island was a lot larger than he expected.

Will jumped off his horse and gave Tripp a look, revealing how difficult the ride had been on him. Tripp acknowledged him, but he looked rather gloomy and began to walk the other way toward a small stream that eventually led back to the beach. Will was a little taken aback by Tripp’s response. Maybe the ride was just miserable for him. Will began to walk with another group toward the tree line looking for some game to hunt.

They returned with a large bird of some kind – it reminded Will of a mixture of a turkey and a chicken – which the Algaer called a Reppis. The name reminded Will of rabbits, and made him think that the catch probably, like everything else, tastes like chicken. Things were so complicated before Will could speak Algaer, but now he could hunt and do almost anything with them.

After cleaning the bird, they quickly returned to their horses, one of which caught Will’s eye. It had larger nostrils than the rest, with a large white speck over the left nostril. Its eyes were pitch black, as if they were all pupil, and its head was trembling as if it were nervous.
