Harry stood at the edge of the rocky gorge, his dark coat damp from the lingering mist. Around him, three of the pack’s most elite tracking wolves paced the boundary line, their heads low to the mud, sniffing frantically.

The halls were wide and echoing, lit by tall windows and sconces that flickered with cold blue fire. We exited through a stone archway and came to a long balcony that overlooked the entire packland. Terraces dipped into training fields. Further out: the village, modest homes, smoke curling from chimneys, children darting like shadows. Beyond that, a forest so dense it looked like spilled ink across the horizon.

The route ran down a grassroots hill to a broad plateau of farmland. About a hundred fields ahead was an extended chain-link barrier that sprawled at least a mile to the north and west.

__________ I crossed the border. They used to call it No Man’s Land in jest. But up close, this didn't look like a joke.
