‘We are here to inspect the area, mainly, Wren. We will
take some samples and be on our way, I am sure you are a

the pair, his eyes shifting between each of them, and
squinting in suspicion.

over from subdued panic.
‘Tÿrn,’ said Cuthbert.
Wren scowled, his silence asking the question for
more information, so his exhausted tongue, that still tasted
of Keris, did not need to.
‘It arrived in Tÿrn seven days ago,’ said Cuthbert,
solemnly.
‘seven days ago?’ asked Wren.
