Chapter 37

Herbert

Well to the south of the tower was a tree. The crow and the frog sat at the foot of the tree. Herbert luxuriated in a small pool caught in the roots of the tree.

"Do you think it is worth scouting? I don't think it is so much across the border as on the border. Unless we have missed something, or I am completely wrong about the direction he took, this is the first building he could have headed for."

"There are those guards; he wouldn't be able to hide her from them."

"If it is close enough on the border, his magic would work well enough to control them."

"And how do you plan testing your theory? We can't just hop on over and hope that we hit a barrier instead of losing ourselves forever."

"That, my friend, is why you are going to stay here while I do a fly over the tower." Jordon spread his wings, but Herbert jumped out of his pool to hold the crow down.
