[Should I appear before her now?] Ezekiel asked Khal.
[She'll get angry,] Khal pointed out. She definitely would, as she had already warned him to give her space.
[You're a stalker,] Khal added, but Ezekiel ignored his rational golden dragon. He was content just staring at her face and observing her quietly.
He remained silent, allowing Katelina to believe she was alone in the carriage.
Hours passed quickly, and the carriage finally passed by the northern borders of Zion. From here, the road would become rocky, and they would need to enter the forest and wilderness.
As it grew darker, the convoy stopped to set up camp. Katelina exited the carriage, and Ezekiel waited for the royal guards to leave before he slipped out and went to find Cora. He saw her setting up her own tent in her chosen spot.
"Cora," he called.
"Your Majesty?" Cora questioned, looking around in the dark. Right then, Ezekiel appeared.
