Chapter 37 - Threat In Darkness

The moon sat like a bloated dot in the balmy night sky as the party of seven finally crested the steep hills located to the far west.

This part of the Clan Lands was at least eight miles into the western fields, where only a few log cabins sat and the open sky hung like a diamond studded blanket over the world.

The tall grasses snapped and flipped in the slight breeze and the pine trees that boarded their entire village tinged the air in crisp scent of pine and sap.

Ezekiel glanced up into the sky, calculating the moons position with his internal instincts.

One AM?

He thought to himself as he walked beside his mostly silent and calm older brother Walter and just in front of Erin and Drin who made much more noise trekking through the supple grass, than Ezekiel and Walter combined.

Dammit, in just a few more hours Dads seriously gonna kick that stranger out into the wilds to fend for himself.
