Sovereign Stone
“Their canoes rolled gently on the waves out beyond the surf that lapped up against the steeply rising coastline. It was a beautiful day, but everyone was too exhausted to enjoy it. They rowed until the sun began to dip toward the western horizon, then turned their canoes toward shore and made landfall on a deserted little beach.
They camped in the secluded cove and built a big fire with driftwood before laying out their bedrolls and making a simple stew. Everyone slept well that night. They wer...e all weary from the long day of rowing and the previous night’s flight from the enemy. Were it not for the ravens circling high overhead as they rowed down the coastline, Alexander would have thought they had lost their pursuers.
They set out at dawn the next morning, feeling much better for having a full night’s sleep. The day was clear and the wind was calm. Alexander gave thanks for that. He didn’t like the idea of trying to row a canoe down the coastline during a storm. They would have to stay in the canoes until the rocky coastline gave way to gentler beaches where they could go ashore and set out on foot, but there was no telling how long that might be.MoreLess
