The sky was just beginning to lighten when Milo spotted the rider trotting in the direction of the copse of trees where he and Harrod had met with Ollie and the human nobles the night before.
Ollie hadn't stayed long after he'd used his witchcraft to pass a message to Lady Ashlynn. In fact, he'd only stayed long enough to receive a reply from Her Dominion before returning to the human's camp. Before he left, however, he'd made his instructions clear.
"Pass the word to the others," Ollie commanded. "Liam and I had to reveal more than we intended to a larger group of people than expected. The noblemen of Lord Loghlan's Court should know how to keep a secret, but I can't trust them completely until I've spent more time with them, and even that may not be enough," he said, hanging his head low as he remembered the man who had spent months in his village acting like a friend and ally until he tried to carry word about Ashlynn to Owain at the first opportunity he was given.
