Nina sat silently in the dark. She had told Vanelee she would wait until dawn to rejoin them, but she sensed that danger may be near to her companions.
'They can probably handle themselves just fine without me, but just in case...'
She gathered Anca in her arms as best she could considering the wolf's weight, closed her eyes and focused on finding the location of the warriors. She was somewhat amazed to discover that she had no trouble at all locating Vanelee, it was as if they shared some connection. 'That's interesting...' she thought, wrapping herself in the night, clutching Anca and her staff in her arms somewhat clumsily.
She closed her eyes and was transported instantaneously to a spot some 50 yards from where Vanelee, Dreggan, and Matt were beginning to advance. They were tracking the winged creature and Nina could feel its presence somewhere in the distant night sky, but there was another, more powerful presence lurking just a few feet from where Vanelee and Matt stood. She quickly noted Dreggan's position in the tree and wondered that he had not spotted the evil presence she felt. 'Another mage?' She croutched and whispered into the wolf's ear, comforting it with her words before she began to follow in Vanelee and Matt's steps cautiously.
