Raven waited impatiently while Jarl stopped and adjusted his sensors. The hour was getting late, the insects had ceased their song and the moon rode high above the trees sending shafts of white light filtering down to the forest floor. The heat from Kheri's footprints had faded, but the leaves and grass showed signs of passage. Jarl examined the ground and set off down the northern leg of a small animal trail with Raven following close behind. They stopped a few minutes later and Jarl pointed down the trail. "Whatever is on the other side of that break is going to know about us long before we know about it."
