The reputation of the Gultur — well deserved at that — was sufficient to brand her as the enemy. She could not blame Elei. Could not blame anyone at all. Sobek’s fish tail.

With a start, she realized she’d become used to being with these three, to their constant bickering and complex relationships; to their odd trust in each other. Oh for the sake of all the gods. She did not need these mortals. She would go… The Undercurrent. She mentally slapped her forehead. Of course, hatha, think! She would find a way to contact the rebels and they would find her a hiding place until she was able to leave Dakru for a less dangerous island, as far as possible from the central Gultur administration.
