Some of the villagers were crowded in there with them. Tom was careful to choose a spot near the door, so he and Elenna could sneak out without waking anyone. Tom woke to feel Elenna shaking him by the shoulder. “Come on!” she whispered. “It’s time.” Faint gray light was leaking through the shuttered windows of the cottage. Tom rose to his feet, careful not to break the early morning quiet, and edged open the door. He and Elenna crept outside. The sky was growing light above the trees on the ridge. Tom could make out the dark shape of Storm grazing farther up the hill. Silver came bounding out of the trees and sniffed at Elenna’s hand. “Shh, boy,” she whispered. Looking around, Tom saw that the water had gone down a little bit in the night. More of the village was visible now, and Tom and Elenna could see the terrible damage Sepron had caused. Many of the cottages were reduced to heaps of stone. Others were caked with mud from the floodwaters. The boat was where they had left it, but now they would have to carry it to the water’s edge.
