They settled just outside the mountain pass on a small plateau. It was still early but they were tired after the fierce battle. Raine's ever-present wolf pack had scouted the immediate area and determined that the Hyr'rok'kin had fully retreated. So they decided to tend their minor wounds and rest for the remainder of the day.

The camp was nearly set up and Lorifal had already sprawled in front of the fire when an enormous shadow passed over the group, blocking out the entire sun. It startled them all, causing Elyara to stumble over her pack. All looked upward, but whatever had created the shadow was already gone, having veered around the mountain.

Actually, all had looked upward except Raine, who merely smiled to herself as she went through her simple belongings. Idonea looked over at her suspiciously. They were close to the meridians.

“Was that a bird?” Bristol asked.

Gunnar examined the now empty sky. “That was far too large for a bird.” He looked over at Raine, having learned to trust her instincts. She appeared completely unconcerned, which reassured him.

“Perhaps it was a harpy,” Dagna suggested. “They are supposed to inhabit this part of the land.”

Elyara did not think it was a harpy. But she, too, trusted Raine's instincts.

Idonea thought to make some additional comment regarding the appropriateness of the “harpy hypothesis,” but held her tongue.

Raine stood up. “I think we are safe here for the moment. I am going to go find some water to cleanse myself.”

Lorifal watched the lithe figure leave. “She sure bathes a lot,” he commented, taking some mead from his pack. She didn't seem that dirty to him.

“You should try it sometime,” Feyden said drily. When Raine returned, he would ask her where she had found water.

Idonea watched the woman's exit with narrowed eyes. She sifted through her things with a degree of agitation. Finally, she stood upright and left the camp in Raine's direction.

“Hmph,” Dagna said, watching the dark-haired beauty leave. And Idonea had taunted her for her interest in Raine. Obviously the mage had sought to discourage her for personal reasons. Feyden watched Idonea's departure as well, taking a long draw on his pipe. It wouldn't matter. Although several in their band were intrigued by the temptress, Raine was not one of them.

Raine picked her way through the sparse forest. The side of the mountain was rocky and only the hardiest vegetation could root deep enough to survive. She could hear a waterfall nearby and the vegetation grew lusher the closer she got to the water. The waterfall had worn a deep groove into the side of the mountain, creating a beautiful circular pool at its base. The sun was at an angle to light the surface of the pond, which was otherwise surrounded on all sides. It was a beautiful, secluded spot and it reminded Raine of the mountain keep where she had met Weynild. She removed her clothing and moved waist deep into the water, dipping beneath the surface to wet her hair. The water was icy cold and a marvelous contrast to the sunbeam filtering down into the cove.
