Chapter 221

IGNATIUS KEPT AT THE FRONT of the line today, walking behind Laura, Sabyn, and Tomiar, keeping company with Larvaste and Chaieth. It made it easy when Laura selected the cavern they would sleep in, to be one of the first to check the tunnels. The Halenine fae happily left the larger tunnels for him to check, having more success at finding their dinner in the smaller ones. Unfortunately, he couldn't spot the ardwyr in any of the narrow corridors.

'All clear?' Belsesus asked when he crawled out the last one.

'Yes.'

'Don't look so disappointed, plenty of time for that tomorrow.'

Ignatius gave a snort of pretend amusement but anxiety clenched his gut.
