There was nothing on the horizon & then suddenly out of the heat they appeared.

Ajax woke Evin with a start,'They're here about three hours ride away. We've got to get the horses, & break camp quickly'. 
'Right' Evin knew better then to run afoul of his blood brother's hunches. He drank the last of his Traesian cold tea & the ate his rations as he packed.

His sword felt heavy by his side for the second time this morning. The first was when his blood brother woke him. The air seemed heavy & pregnant with deadly possibilities.
