Lieutenant Elian entered the stable, but Itziar didn't follow him in case the beorn noticed her presence and alerted him.
She didn't have to wait long, for a few minutes later the lieutenant came out of the stable and mounted a beorn, then left in a hurry.
Itziar with her new body was not only agile but also fast. However, the speed of a beorn and an otter were quite different, but not enough to create a great distance between them.
If it had been a helmi instead, she would have been left behind eating dust and wouldn't even have been able to see their shadow.
After running northwest for a while, they passed the baths and continued uphill until they reached the meeting point.
A platoon of about forty men lay in wait, hidden in the shadows. The two guards from earlier were between them, at the front of the formation.
