Numair was practically jumping up and down on Spots. Cloud, who had insisted on coming, came over and nipped him on the arm. "I know Cloud. I want to go too."
Finally the small unit was assembled and began to set out on a steady pace. Numair just wish he could transport them all to the place, but he knew that if he did then he wouldn't have any gift left to help rescue Daine. He also knew that if he only transported himself the king would probably skin him.
Kel road up to him and smiled, "What did Weiryn say exactly? I think it would be better if my party knew."
Numair glanced at the practical girl only half hearing her. "He said that she is right off the capital and that he cannot tell us anything else."
Kel looked closely at the mage. Usually he would give giant explanations. All he gave now was a short statement.
"We'll find her," she told him soothingly.
All Numair did was nod, eyes intent on the road in front of him.

It took one week to get to the border. The small unit crossed silently through the wooded area. (About a mile before the border Alanna told the unit to go through the wooded area.)
For most in the unit it was nice to watch the trees turn from oak to pine. For Numair it only meant that they were getting closer to his Daine.

Three days later the horses became very frantic. "We're getting close," Alanna commented drowsily.
Kel nodded slowly, "We should move in at night. We could rest until then."
Numair looked at them. "What do you mean?" he cried outraged.
"Numair be quiet!" the Lioness snapped. "It will be safer if we wait until dusk!"
He glared at her even though he knew she was right and went to go rest.

Kel was by the small stream looking in. A face shown in the water. She turned to see Dom looking worriedly at her.
"What's wrong sweet?" he asked softly wrapping his arms around her waste.
She leaned the back of her head on his shoulder. "I'm scarred that we won't find her in time."
"We will," he assured her.
"But what about her baby?"
Dom turned her around and looked her right in the eye, "Everything will be alright Kel."
With that he kissed her softly. Kel kissed him back, all her worry melting away.

Daine blinked back more tears. Two days! Two days until they tried to take away her baby. She still hadn't come up with a plan.
A bang sounded on the side of her wall. She smiled; they placed her room next to the door. She could hear when people came in and out along with their conversations at the door.
"I'm da' healer. Come ta' remove a babe," an unfamiliar voice said.
Daine gasped. She was supposed to have two more days!
"Ah yes," said the evil voice of Gordon. "We'll have tea and discuss it. You'll do it tonight."
She heard them walk away.
"NNNOOO!" she cried clutching her abdomen.
………………………………………………………………………
Spots and Cloud ran up to Numair; he was their only hope to save Daine. Even though Daine couldn't talk to them or hear them they knew she was in trouble.
Numair knew what they meant. Daine needed help – now!
He mounted Spots and road off to the building where Daine was.
