Chapter Three

The female, Cara, had asked a hundred questions and apologized a hundred times. How long would the journey take? How would they obtain provisions? Where would they sleep on the journey, and how would they sneak past the guards? Would Levea welcome them in or turn them over to be tried as runaways?

Rion found himself impressed with her attention to details. Cara was a planner, able to think through serious situations carefully. She’d help the others adjust and steer them all toward a better life in Levea.

He understood her need for information. The slaves didn’t trust anyone, least of all the Fae. Their lives would be in his hands. He was a Lord. If he was caught stealing slaves, the punishment would be minimal. But runaways and their families would be put to death. Most were tortured in front of their peers, just to reiterate the consequences of trying to escape.

She needed time. Rion gave her a month. By then, the snow would have melted along the mountain pass and the journey wouldn’t be as treacherous.
