Tristan and I hurried through the dark woods and reached the path that had led us to the land of the ellyll. Only there wasn’t any path.
My heart fell. “It’s past three.”
“The path hasn’t vanished, it’s merely hidden,” Tristan assured me as he looked around. “We need merely find a guide to lead us to the entrance.”
My eyes widened as an idea struck me. I tucked my harp under one arm and cupped my hands over my mouth. “Drysi! I’m here!”
A twinkling laugh echoed through the woods, and soon I saw Drysi flit through the trees and over to us. “You called me! Does that mean you want to play?”
I shook my head. “I wish I could, but we have to get into Anwyn. Can you show us the way?”
Drysi wrinkled its nose at Tristan. “Even him?”
“Even him, but please show us!” I pleaded.
