They resumed riding, Astra sitting in front of Fred on their warcharger.
Fred leant
forward and whispered
in her ear: "We could try to jump him tonight in Mordnse. Or we could wait
until we
get to Minestus's lair, in the hope that all that gold will distract him -
and the dwarf
too. At least now we are human again, there is no longer quite the urgency
that there
was." "We had better not leave it any later than the lair," Astra
whispered back. "Once
we have brought him there, he won't need us any more. He might be tempted
to try to use the
Crystallic against us, or to trap us in the caves."
At that point, before they were able to make any specific plan, Rift became suspicious at how close Fred's head was to Astra's. He sent Tarin forward on his pony to ride alongside them and ensure that they could not converse without being overheard.
