Chapitre 431: Pheonix Totem

Nix threaded his way carefully through the camp. The cookfires had long since burned down, and they were spaced far enough between with only a few stragglers still eating. According to Kia, servant tents were separated by Clan, all of the Desert Fox would be together.

The northeast part of the compound was considered the servant's area. It butted up against a rock formation that made escaping in that direction all but impossible. The only way for one of them to flee would be through the camp.

Rat-Nix was aware that Shae and Tai'Qui were both shadowing him closely, despite his directions to spread out. Kia told him what to look for, the third tent on the right side, slightly lighter than the others. He slinked in and immediately hugged the right side of the tent as he progressed deeper.

He moved to the far right corner, where Kia told him that her people would wash before going to sleep. It was empty because of the hour, but for Nix, it was the ideal place to stash his rat.
