Tiella knew the way of course but needed to allow them to make the odd wrong turn to save suspicion. The silence of the city had her nerves on edge and it was everything she could do not to run ahead toward their destination. She jumped as Balar placed a hand upon her shoulder.

"Don't worry love. They creep me out too." the gentleness in his eye was like a stab to her heart.

"I am fine." she replied stiffly.

"FINE!" croaked Artemis as he flew from Luna's shoulder and straight toward a building up ahead.

"I think this is it." Tiella whispered the lie... she knew with absolute certainty that this was it...

Before them rose a tall alabaster tower with gilded columns standing either side of a wide shadowed entrance.

The Raven flew inside.
