Caly set a fast pace, racing through the forest. She was testing them... or quite possibly punishing them for getting involved. Theo was certain of it as he continued chasing after her. There was absolutely no way she could continue at this pace all the way to The Great Willow, especially not without resting. If it hadn't been for the fact, he, Amos, and Aiden were trained warriors, lesser folk would've faltered already.
*She wants to kill us,* Aiden grunted into his mind.
Theo tried not to chuckle at that assessment. *She'll tire sooner rather than later.*
*That may be a whimsical assumption,* Amos told him. *Did you forget who you're dealing with?*
