They had come rather directly, though crossing the river had washed the strongest scents from them. Unlike his companions, Ezekiel would always smell like Inferni—it was his scent on the borders after all. Plants had aided in masking them as they went, as he had noted Halo doing, but the savage Aquila was a thing of the wilderness. His quiver still stunk of the dead animal even now, and so his scent was a chimera of wolf, coyote, and wolverine. Yet Ezekiel did not fear any retaliation from AniWaya; why would they come so far north when the war was next door?
His companions confirmed that they were alone, and this encouraged the Aquila. With bow drawn yet, he spoke in low, hushed tones. “We’ll take what we can, and leave quickly.” Motioning for Sa’adat to follow, he crossed the invisible line and began heading westward. Soft, nearly silent steps carried him through the thick forest and into the AniWaya territory. Now and then he would stop suddenly, stiffen, and swivel his head to and fro as a deer might. They had not encountered anyone yet, and this was what he had hoped.
