~ ZEV ~
Zev had been feeling drowsy and considering sleep. But when Sasha spoke in his head, it was a balm to know he could still hear her at that distance.
That made him think of Lhars and reach out for his brother.
Sasha's hiding, Lhars told him briefly. We've got the wind in our faces. I can smell the guy. He's almost here. The Sentries are saying no one else has tried to enter yet.
Zev was comforted by that.
Send me an image, he replied to Lhars. I want to see if I know them so I can offer advice.
He felt rather than saw Lhars nod. There was a lull then. Sasha wasn't sending, and Lhars was distracted with someone else. So Zev waited, turning over in his mind who might have had the balls to come into Thana alone.
But suddenly Lhars said I don't know this one, do you? and an image bloomed in Zev's head that made his blood run cold.
