"At ease." Lith replied. "I'm not here on official duty nor am I going to stay. I need to cross the border. Is that a problem?"
"For you? Not at all." The sergeant shrugged. "When you return, however, make sure to show your ID, or the guards will think you are a shapeshifter and shoot you on sight."
Lith thanked the guards for their service and went to the meeting point with Xenagrosh, a big rock used as a landmark a few kilometers away from the city.
"Isn't it dangerous for you to be in the Desert? Why didn't we meet past the border?" Lith asked after greeting the two Abominations.
"The borders are relatively safe. Here Salaark's senses are at their weakest. Unless we use a lot of magical power, she won't ever know we've been here." Zoreth shook her head.
