Chapter 10
As Will set up camp he heard the first signs of a laugh penetrate the silent forest.
Smiling he sat down and got a fire going.
'You know whose laugh that is, don't you Ebony?'
The puppy barked back. Of course it knew. Did it look stupid?
'Don't worry little girl. I hope to be there by tomorrow.'
Will smiled again as he got another bark in reply. He hopped that this was going to put Crowley on edge. It was so hilarious when he was nervous for no reason.
Later on that night as Will was climbing into be he sighed. While it was fun leading Crowley around like this, it felt odd to be missing out on the gathering. He was missing being able to sit down with Halt and Gilan and also laughing at a few jokes at Halt's expense.
'We really do tease Halt often. He takes it well. You know what Ebony?'
Ebony barked her no.
'I am going to thank him. Once this is all over of course, but I will thank him. On the way home I think. After Gil has turned off. Just when castle Redmont comes into view. And then when we get down to the castle I will go and notify the Baron that I am back and seek out Alyss. I think that is my plan. Sound good Ebony?'
The sound of a dog barking travelled through the stillness of the night. Blessing all it went past.
