The pair of them rode out of town, moving off down the road.<strong>"I don't know.  I'm not a mage and I don't understand how my father masked the power of the disc.  If I had to hazzard a guess though, I'd say that you probably have to cast some sort of spell.  I wouldn't trust my luck to hold out enough that you were masking it just by holding it.  You have to remember my father told me that the two halves of the artifact 'wanted' to find each other."</strong>Lunari didn't seem positive about their prospects of remaining unfound for too long.<br/><br/>Nirael still hadn't had a chance to study his spellbook, but luckily his mind was still fresh with almost all of his spells from the previous day.  The loss of one spell for his infertility probably wouldn't make or break them.  But as they rode, he noticed Lunari stifle a yawn, and one he himself ready to echo.  He had been awoken in the middle of the night after a late night of sex and carousing, and had been riding all morning since.  He knew that Lunari had been up even longer, searching for him the whole night before she found him.<br/><br/>Their conversation continued, but seemed to trail off as they focused on putting distance between them and the town behind them.  Finally however they settled into a long comfortable silence as the road chewed away and they passed into the wilderness again.  The road went from well worn to a barely used path winding through the wilderness.  As the sun began to dip low in the sky in the late afternoon, Lunari's head bobbed down and finally she called a halt.<strong>"I'm sorry, I've been awake for a day and a half.  I don't know how much longer I can stay awake.  Maybe we should plan on making camp.  I don't know this area, but it seems relatively safe.  There's been no sign of pursuit," </strong>She looked back down the road for the quarter mile or so before the twists in the road blocked any further sight.<strong>"We could go into the woods here to get off the road, or we could continue on.  I'd really like to find at least a small stream to refill our water, though that will last for a bit if we need it."</strong><br/><br/>She grimaced,<strong> "Also we need to figure out if we're going to turn north east and head to the wizard, or continue south towards the ports." </strong>Her tone was curt, showing how tired she was.  But it was obvious she was leaving the decision in the hands of Nirael.
