 ‘It should keep the animals out.’ Zanar opens the cylinder that’s been storing water. ‘And about half of the monsters,’
‘Monsters?’ I say. ‘You didn’t tell me there were monsters.’ ‘I’m telling you now.’ He pulls out a set of hexes and starts setting them around our camp. ‘This should keep out the birds and the sloth, and we’ve camouflaged to hide for Basindons.’ ‘What about Bandergogs?’ Zanar shrugs. ‘No one’s ever been able to study a Bandergog, so I don’t know. They’re attracted to magic, so I’ve put an external damper on, but there’s no guarantee it will work.’ ‘So, we could get attacked by 3 sword length high creatures who spend most of their time invisible and have arms strong enough to rip a dragon’s head off?’ ‘Only a small dragon.’ ‘Zanar?’ ‘Well yes, it is a possibility,’ he admits. ‘That’s why I thought I’d stay awake. You said you wanted to sleep.’ ‘I’ve changed my mind.’ |
