Teegan, Taena, and Sukrae ended up staying at Traer's for a month. While the twins ajusted to their new magical powers,

Traer was able to heal Sukrae's arm and teach him some new spells. Traer was able to tell them about where Kerr's fortress was, and Nator developed a minor crush on Taena.

Finally, they were ready to go, with each of them carrying a pack of dried meat and fruit, plus a water skin apiece. Traer gave them the best directions that he could, and they started off, with Nator waving goodbye to Taena.

Teegan still carried her dagger, still wore her armor, and Taena still had the teed-off look on her face. The only diffrence from that day when they first walked up to Kerr's door, was that Sukrae was there with them. Sukrae, the mage who helped them, the injured person who slowed them, the one who fell in love with one of them, the one that Taena didn't want to come, was now a firm member of the group.
--

It was a nice day--as nice as a day in the wilderness can be, anyway--and even after walking all day, the three felt pretty optimistic about finishing their quest.

Sukrae could now use both arms, Taena wasn't dead anymore, and Teegan had recovered completely from her fight with the demon.

Right now they all felt pretty chipper, and Sukrae was whistling to annoy Teegan. They walked for a short period in silence--except for the whistling, until Teegan couldn't take it anymore.

"Sukrae!" She said, "Shut up!"

Sukrae grinned, sticking his tongue out at Teegan. Then a small rock jumped from the ground, hitting him in the shin. "Ow!" He said, "What the....."

Teegan smiled smugly, using her powers to do the same with another rock. Sukrae gave her a look, then yelped as yet another rock jumped at him. "I surrender!" He said, waving a waterskin, "No more rocks!"

"Are you sorry for annoying me?" asked Teegan sweetly, letting a fourth rock hover at shin height.

"Very sorry."

"Alright, I accept your apology," said Teegan, dropping the rock and giving him a kiss.

"I'm looking away!" called Taena from up front, "I'm very carefully LOOKING AWAY!"

Teegan laughed, walking quicker to keep up with Taena. "How're we doing?" She asked, "Kerr's fortress should be somewhere up ahead."

"You didn't notice?" Taena said, sounding suprised, "It's over there, I think."

Teegan looked. She could see something, a dark blot against the grey landscape. "But it's over there," she said, "we're walking away from it. Shouldn't we be walking toward it?"

"Nah. I'm looking for a place to spend the night. It looks like we'll have to sleep out in the open, and I really don't want to sleep within sight of that.. that.. thing."

"Alright," said Teegan, "I'll tell Sukrae."

She dropped back to explain the situation to Sukrae. He was fine with sleeping out in the open, and agreed that sleeping within sight of the fortress would not be a good idea.

Soon, Taena reached a suitable place to camp, and she and Teegan began to set up the tent, while Sukrae made a fire. Soon they were all seated around the flames, chewing on jerky and dried fruit. Everyone was happy, but they were much happier when Teegan discovered tea in her pack, along with smaller skins that were evidently teacups.

As they lay on the ground, soothed into drowsiness by the warm tea, Taena thought of the next day. The day which would hopefully be the day when she saw Brant again.
