The Dragon's Son
“She did not enter the city of Fair-field, but avoided that, too, following a circuitous path that led south along the river. They traveled several furlongs away from the city before Bellona deemed it safe to return to the road. She was growing increasingly concerned over Ven. He made no complaint and he managed to keep up the swift pace she set, but his limp was worse. The bruised leg was obviously causing him pain.

She toyed with the idea of halting for Ven’s sake, but she wanted to put as much distance between Ven and Draconas as possible. They could walk another couple of miles before darkness forced them to make camp. Ven could keep going a little longer. After all, Bellona reasoned, he’d have all the night to rest his leg.
The two of them had the road to themselves. What few travelers they met were all heading toward the city, making haste, so as not to be benighted in the wilderness.MoreLess
