Chapter 54: Scarlet – First Find

I stood dazed as the boys played in the river. Kane continued to set up the tents. I could not help but wonder if it was a dream. Kane would have looked around if he heard the laughter. Sabastian was back in dreamland. I could not help my curiosity. What I saw had to be real.

I pushed forward. My sore feet begged for me to give them a break. The kid's laughter rose above the wind. The shimmering white hair of one of the boys could not be mistaken.

"Little Alzar?" I called out.

All three boys turned to look at me. I was not mistaken. It was Little Alzar, Ethan, and Brucie. I surveyed the area for Jason and Bellamy. No sign of them.

Brucie waved at me and opened a portal behind him. I quickened my steps, trying to get to him before he left again. By the time I got to the bank in front of where they were, Ethan and Brucie were gone. Little Alzar waddled out of the water to me with a huge grin on his face. I could not even be upset with him.
