The Familiars: Secrets of the Crown
“Skylar and Gilbert were curled up next to each other, and although Skylar wouldn’t have admitted it, nobody could argue with the warmth of a tree frog’s belly on a cold night in the Beyond. But Aldwyn’s ears, trained to hear the tiniest sound even while he was asleep, had picked up what he was convinced had been quietly approaching footsteps.
Aldwyn sat up to find that it was still just the three of them here in the middle of this windswept plain north of Stalagmos. He remained very still, hearing only his heartbeat and Gilbert’s snoring. Then, as quietly as he could, he rose to his feet and moved through the grass, in the direction from which he thought he’d heard the footsteps.
With all the excitement they had faced in Stalagmos, Aldwyn had had little time to ponder the mysterious cat who seemed to be both real and a spirit at the same time. Whatever, whoever it was, had saved them from a crushing death courtesy of Paksahara’s woodpeckers, and more than likely, the echo beast as well.
