Mallory eyed the distance between the huts and the edge of the clearing. “Are you sure the forest won’t catch on fire?”
Welby nodded. “Light them up. The air is still and they’ll burn down quickly.”
“Okay.” Mallory launched flames at each of the huts, the fire quickly taking hold.
“That’s a better use for the spell.” Brodie glanced back the way they’d come.
Mallory started to comment, changing her mind. “Time to get on the road. We’ve got a lot of kilometres to travel today.”
“Don’t we always,” Brodie muttered.
“I don’t think Fang is interested in leaving.” Callum nodded towards the wolf cub chewing on the bone.
“Come on, Fang,” Brodie called.
Fang picked up the bone, carrying it with her when she trotted over to him.
“You can’t carry that all the way to Surith,” Brodie said.
