Duskfire Glacier minne duett

Druid was about to offer herself up for examination right now, if Lane desired, when the woman said something that made the young girl stiffen. Had Heda gone after the scouts to Rivenwood, even after the awful things she’d said to Druid? No, that didn’t make any sense at all. But it ratcheted up her concern for her sister significantly. Where are you, Heda?

No, she said through trembling lips, Heda said it would be too dangerous. I went to spend some time with my best friend, Mireille. She lives in Sapphique. If Heda’s not here, I don’t know where she is. Her mismatched eyes began to glisten with tears.

But Druid did her best to sniff them back, taking a few deep, slow breaths. I’ll stay here and wait for her, she decided in a soft voice. Lane was anticipating the return of the scouting party, so the two of them could keep one another company and wait here together.
