Erasing Steps

"Just don’t get yourself or us killed"

"If everything goes according to plan, the three of us should be just fine," Ceriden responded as he took the book and began flipping through the pages.

"Ah, here it is." As he quickly read the section he had been looking for, a smile crept up onto his face.

"So, I believe my earlier statement was incorrect. There are actually two ways to shake them if they are tracking our steps. One way is to stop making steps. The other way is to get rid of the foot prints we are making. I can do that with magic, but to do so continuously will wear me out quickly. However, I believe that I can get our dear spy to do that for me. Not in his current body though. We need to extract his spirit for your spell anyway, so I'm thinking that perhaps we can get some value out of it."

Ceriden continued reading, his smile broadening as he did so. "Yes, I think this will work. And I already know most of what I need to do."

He turned toward Sabina. "Milady, with your permission, I'd like to make a wraith out of our spy. The body should remain in good condition, so we should still be able to use it for your spell."
