Chapter 310

THE DARKNESS CLEARED WITH A sucking gasp into fresh air. Sian blinked as her eyes cleared from the eye watering iciness of the leap. She felt Nesha pull through behind them.

'Daron says the Estate is a few hours from here, we'll lead.' Nesha's thought came to her and Sito.

'Okay, we'll keep close,' Sian thought to him.

The air felt cooler than at the cabin and a mile or so beneath them spread a forest, dense and green. Sito dipped a wing, swinging into a tumbling roll toward the trees before flicking his wings out, catching air with an ear ringing snap. A screech rang out as Nesha swooped overhead before dropping down. She smiled as Daron twisted to look back at her, a cheeky grin in place. Urging Sito on Sian laughed as a dance between the two-winged creatures began, ducking, diving, twisting and racing.

It made the hours past swiftly, too swiftly.
