Eccelisa gave the child a hard look for making noise. Raising up a hand, she scanned the area, turning in a full circle. Gently placing the lantern on the ground, she silently drew an arrow out of her quiver and used it to pull back the string to her ear. A twig snapped in a bush to their left and in less than two seconds she faced it with the drawn bow. The noise instantly deafened to a ringing silence. Her cold blue eyes flicked back and forth along the path, looking for an escape route. Just in case.
