A storm was brewing on the sea to the east of the Fjords islands.
Every now and then, lightning struck through the gray clouds that hung low in the sky. Muffled thunders like the angry roars of the gods in the sky sounded as if they came from far away.
Heidi Morgan's mood was no better than the weather.
She had not received any news since she sent Iffy and Softfeathers to the western region.
She understood that the long distance would make it difficult to send any message back, but she also knew that Honey was there in the western region of the Kingdom of Graycastle. That meant that they could threaten her and seize one of her animal messengers to send a message.
"What's really going on in the domain of the lord?"
Heidi thought and irritably shut the window to block the howling wind.
