"There!" Malak shouted suddenly, slamming his finger against the map and startling Sosora awake. After cross-referencing the maps and the guard schedule for over half an hour, Malak finally found the most likely route Tair's kidnappers would have taken in order to disappear.
Sosora fought away the drowsiness and looked at the spot Malak pointed at. She furrowed her brow.
"That's Orovir territory, isn't it?" As far as she knew, the Orovir and Lowat tribes weren't on the best of terms. Would the Orovirs really help Tair's kidnappers get away?
"Yes. And right there, there's a tunnel that would have taken Tair's kidnappers underground and out of sight. If I'm right, they would have entered there and disappeared. They could have gone anywhere in the forest without anyone noticing."
