...It was morning. Whilst it had not been the most comfortable place to
spend the night,
Fred had developed the ability to sleep well in far worse spots than this,
and he felt
surprisingly refreshed. Maybe the drink from the Crystallic had had
something to do
with how well he felt. Tarin had obviously had had some previous
experience of tying
people up. The knots had defied his attempts to pick them, but had not
been so tight as to inhibit
his circulation.
Rift was making breakfast. Whilst the four of them ate, Rift checked, not for the first time, on how long it would take to get to Minestus's lair. "About four or five days," Fred told him. "Then we had better soon get started," said Rift. "The sooner we get there, the sooner you can be freed. I know you have a map of this area, but I'll need you for the last bit underground, if I'm to find the lair. I'll have to have Tarin untie you both so that you can ride, but I shall be riding my horse right behind yours, so no funny business, unless you want to find out just what an untrained person might be able to do to you using your little gadget."
