The Windrose Chronicles 2 - The Silicon Mage - Plot & Excerpts
As Caris steadied her down the last few feet of rope, he could feel her shaking all over. Though he would rather have died than admit it, his own hands weren't too steady either. He wasn't sure whether the place Antryg had picked for concealment from the approaching troops wasn't worse than an open fight. It had certainly required far more nerve. “Who else could it have been?” He wanted to shout the words, furious at her naive trust and at his own. Though the energy-lines would have brought him warning long before they were anywhere in earshot, he strained his ears to catch any sound of the troop's return through the now-impenetrable blanket of fog that muffled the island. “They couldn't have seen us approaching—not in this fog—and we hid our tracks. Besides, they were on both banks of the stream. They knew we were here...” “Did they?” The double line of rope that dangled against the clammy stone side of the nearest great trilithon shook, and Antryg shinnyed down neatly from the eiderdown masses of cloud-cover only a few feet above their heads.
