"Divided and Conquered"

Evelyn and Raviel approached Mikaela and Leonard. It was time to change the watch. The hours had passed without major problems, though the atmosphere within Silverin's group was heavy with grief and barely suppressed fury. 

Evelyn herself was unusually quiet, observing Raviel and his evident torment.

As dawn broke over the Skull Volcanoes, painting the sky in shades of ash and fiery orange, the two groups prepared to depart. Kaleb, surprisingly efficient, helped Xavier saddle the horses. 

The journey to the Ursulus Rex's territory would still take a considerable amount of time.

During a lull in the march, Kaleb sidled up to Evelyn, winking conspiratorially. "So," he whispered, "when are you going to reveal your secret to Leonard?"

Evelyn shot him a withering glare. "Shut your mouth, Kaleb," she hissed, her voice low and laced with a dangerous sweetness, "unless you want to accidentally roll all the way down this mountain."
