Chapter 142: Shadows in the Forest

“The wraiths are close,” she said, her voice so low that barely could be heard. They also appear to be corrupting the trees with their presence I saw that. We must be careful."

Anita adjusted the strap of her pack , her fingers touching the handle of her sword. "How far?"

“Far enough for now,” Lira replied, “but they’re moving.” They’re hunting."

Jace yawned and then extended himself fully, but his eyes were keen and bright. “Hunting us or any thing that moves?”

"Both," Lira said grimly.
