Flight

"Yes. He is due to arrive any day now."

"Then I will get us horses and supplies, and we will ride out to intercept him. If he was to come here, then he could be walking into a trap."

"But if you go absent without leave, won't they come after you?"

"Perhaps. But I'm not due on duty till tomorrow morning. By then we'll have too big a start to be caught. Anyway, we have to leave. If Suivant is corrupt then, as Tarsa's understudy, you are likely to be in great danger. I couldn't protect you from him without alerting him to the fact that we are aware of his treachery. And if he serves Valmar now, then even the guard might not be able to prevail against him."

1. We stay with Niala and Aron, as they ride out of Agear Town.
2. We return to Fred, outside the man-mountain's cottage, who has heard riders approaching through the night. [52655]
