Syryn made a path of frozen rats. Rowan had wanted to kill the crazy little beasts but then they would have had to step over the blood and guts of the rats, and Syryn wasn't having any of that. He could ice over the dead rats but why do things twice?
As they moved, the duo quickly found themselves being followed by some men who saw what they were doing. The men thought they could stay safe while running behind the ice mage who was continuously freezing the rats that kept coming like a tide.
Unfortunately for them, the saviours were crossing the borders, a place they couldn't go to without risking their lives. None of the factions tolerated their territories being crossed into by the enemies unless they had permission to. It was easy to crossover but the hard part was staying alive.
Gangs knew their men. Strange faces were easily noticed and caught. So when Rowan and Syryn crossed a bridge that marked neutral territory, their tailers stopped following them.
