ZEVANDER

J ust outside the Black Salt Tavern, Zevander paused, listening. Only the rustle of dried leaves drifting over the cobblestones. Eyes and ears perked, he scanned over his surroundings, not bothering to call on his horse quite yet. He clicked his tongue, the sound bouncing off nearby objects. A number of Lunasier possessed the ability to echo locate as a hunting technique, but Zevander had honed the skill over the years. The image in his mind showed only the spindling boy from earlier, who’d watched him from the shadows. Zevander lifted a finger to his masked lips to ensure the boy remained quiet, to which the boy nodded and returned the gesture. The child then pointed in the opposite direction.

The mark of the scorpion that’d been branded into Zevander’s flesh stirred a quiet hum, as he strode down the empty street in the direction the boy had sent him. He could sense the stranger. Near.
