Click hereCorec nodded but frowned. "I suppose we need rooms for Shavala and Sarette too, for when they visit. That's going to be a bigger place than I was thinking."
"Don't forget Bobo," Katrin said with a grin.
Corec grunted. "Bobo can have my old room at Mama Wenna's boarding house."
"Then you're still thinking of Four Roads?" Katrin asked. That wasn't much of a surprise—Corec and Treya both considered Four Roads to be home, and Shavala liked the idea because the town was near the Terril Forest.
"Yes, but not right away. It's too close to Larso. I can't go there while Prince Rusol is still trying to kill me. What if the red-eyes attack the town, like they did to Jol's Brook?"
"Treya can stop them again."
"Not until she knows they're there. How much damage could they do in the meantime?"
Katrin nodded. She'd been thinking about that too. "What if we lived outside Four Roads? On the Larso side, so the red-eyes wouldn't need to go through the town to reach us?"
Corec gave her an odd look. "You want to draw them to us on purpose?"
"No," she said with a shiver. She thought about the children she'd sung to, who'd lost half of their friends in the attack. "I just don't want another Jol's Brook. And Treya could heal them so they wouldn't hurt anyone else, like she did for Nedley and the others."
Corec looked off into the distance, considering. "You might be right. If we stay that close to Larso, it might keep the red-eyes from attacking any other villages. But it also means Rusol could send the army or the knights after us. We can't fight them all. We need to know more."
Katrin slumped. "I know, but I'm getting tired of traveling and looking over our shoulders all the time. I was hoping we could stop after this. Sailing is just making Shavala want to travel even more, but she says she doesn't mind if you and I take a break from it. She plans to come with us if we go to Four Roads, but then she wants to continue on to Terevas, and then visit those other elves Yelena told her about."
Corec chuckled. "I wonder if she'll ever actually go back to the forest. Are you sure you don't mind living in the free lands? I know you prefer the city."
"I do, but we're still planning to move to Tyrsall once Yelena leaves, right?"
"If everyone wants to, sure."
"Then I can stand living in the country for a few years. I just want to live somewhere."
"We'll figure something out."

Esbanosover 3 years agoTo be honest. There aint too much going. Had it been part of a tv series, then this part would have been the first few minutes. The ending of this part also fell flat. I hope for more next time
Ivy_Veritasover 3 years agoAuthorThere is now a list of important characters available on both my website and my Patreon page (you don't have to be a patron to download it). It covers important or recurring names and characters from Books 1 and 2, but doesn't include Book 3, to avoid spoilers. I'll provide an updated version after Book 3 is complete. I hope this will help anyone who has a hard time remembering all the characters.
