Chapter One
Kassius had not expected this. Men dressed in outlandish outfits of burgundy and white ran down the road toward his entourage. Their baked-brown skin stood out against their white shirts, making their clothes seem even more brilliant in the late afternoon sun. Their olive hues and their dark beards reminded Kassius of Arixus, but only slightly, for Arixus was half Faror blood, and much of his mother was in him.

Kassius did not want to dwell on the delays along the way. He just wanted a nice, soft bed to sleep in for the night. And he wanted to get back to Nirrion as soon as possible. He wanted to get back to Arixus. He rode between the human chain until he turned off
