Isla placed the necklace around her neck before returning the cloth to the box. The stone rested against her chest as though it belonged there. I watched her touch it once before looking toward the entrance. She had already made her decision.
"We should move."
Zeron nodded.
"We still have daylight."
We left the stone shelter and returned to the mountain path. Isla stayed close while Raith and the warriors followed behind us. The smaller path eventually joined the main route again. Tavian's map showed Frostvale beyond the valley ahead.
We continued down the mountain. Isla checked the trees as we walked, searching for more marks from Lyrienne. None appeared for the next hour. Vorak remained unusually attentive.
'What do you feel?'
'Something old.'
I looked toward the valley.
