Chapter 121 — What You Do With Your Bond

The winged creature disappeared among the trees, and none of the three needed to ask where it was going. The bond left a trail — not exactly physical, but a kind of supernatural impression that Umbra could perceive.“She’s leading us somewhere.” Sasha said, his eyes alert to the darkness.“To someone.” Alexei corrected, without slowing his pace.Dmitry looked into the darkness between the trees.“Then don’t lose her. If she’s the key to the bond, we need to know where she’s going.”They crossed the forest for several minutes.
