тАЬWell, to tell you the truth, I was thinking of coming with you, just for a little while.тАЭ She glanced at her
glowering lover. тАЬTo you itтАЩll be but moments.тАЭ

тАЬSo it will, and go with my blessing, as long as you come back.тАЭ

тАЬOh, that I will.тАЭ Dallandra flashed a wicked smile. тАЬThis time.тАЭ

Before he could protest farther she dropped his hand and strode forward into the shaft of sun. When Jill
hurried after, the light was so strong that it burned her eyes and made them blink and water. Blind and
stumbling, she stepped forward and fell to her knees in soft sand.

тАЬтАЭYch, this is awful,тАЭ Dalandra remarked, from nearby. тАЬI feel like IтАЩm made of lead, and IтАЩve tripped
over some driftwood or somewhat.тАЭ

Finally, after a lot of swearing and muttering, Jill got her sight back and realized that they were kneeling
on a beach under a blazing; sun that lay halfway between the zenith and the horizonтАФwhether it was
setting or rising, Jill couldnтАЩt know. Off to her left the ocean stretched glittering; to her right, cliffs of pale
sandstone rose up high; ahead the white sand ran, on, and on. Wildfolk swarmed round, climbing into

her back again; it had seemed to weigh nothing at all in the misty lands of the Guardians. For a moment
Dallandra stood, looking this way and that, chewing on her lower lip in hard thought.

тАЬWait! I can just see . . . a long ways down the coast there. Look at those black dots wheeling round in
the sky.тАЭ

тАЬI canтАЩt make them out at all.тАЭ

тАЬMy apologies; I forget youтАЩre not elven. But I can just see what looks like birds, wheeling round and
diving and suchlike. IтАЩll wager thereтАЩs a river mouth, and where thereтАЩs a river mouth there might be a
harbor.тАЭ

тАЬTrue spoken. ThereтАЩll be fresh water at least, and fish and suchlike.тАЭ

тАЬYouтАЩll need food, truly. Are you sure you should do this?тАЭ

тАЬI donтАЩt have much choice, do I? DonтАЩt worry, Dalla. IтАЩve spent many a long year alone in wild places,
and I have the elementals, too, to help me if need be.тАЭ

тАЬWell and good, then. And IтАЩll be listening for you. If you call me, IтАЩll come. It may take me a while, but
I will.тАЭ

тАЬYou have my thanks, and so does Evandar.тАЭ

Dallandra smiled, then turned and began walking toward the sea, heading for a place where it seemed
