"And we have one here that opened up." He admits

"Aye?"

"Don't know where it goes, and I'm swamped" A sigh "I may have to round up someone to check it out for me"

She extends a spindly arm. "Twist it?"

He grins "Not subtle as I think I am eh?"

"Nay. Hm. Methinks Earl would wish to go, also."

"The rath is closed right now, for safety, but he could open it. Let me show it to you"

She nods

He guides her to the stream, not the foot bridge, which is a trod, but rather further away, almost off DeBuke territory. Then she sees it. Of the stones that can be seen in the stream, one has turned silver. " A trod where you have to get your foot in cold water. You see why I thought this might be of interest to you?"

Her dark eyes sparkle. "Aye...."

"Now, it's locked down currently so I won't have a childling slip trip and end up in the Amazon basin or what not...but Earl can unlock it, and well... I omened it, but came up empty. It could lead more than one place , throwing the trail off"

"Delightful!"

"For you, for us this could be a security night mare, but I'm glad. Normally I'd get the Rover Olgar on this, but he muttered something about getting his wife to take a break if he had to kidnap her"

"Well, they've had Dragon fallout, too."

"Don't i know it," he chuckles "Chief's Brekke's hand is getting tended, spring treatments. They've got a new trod too. "

This is almost intolerable, trolls are learning more of things going on than sluagh? No, Zara will set this right.. and it will begin with a step in cold water and silver!

But that is a story for another time
