Mallory looked in the direction of the tavern. She didn’t need any more close calls. “That sounds good to me.” “Okay. This way.” Ryan led the way, keeping to the trees and circling around the village, passing in sight of a couple of buildings and going close by a grain farm. They also passed a small crops farm, before approaching the farm the villager led them to. They slowed as they drew near, open ground between them and the farmhouse, an archer walking past the back of the building. “How are we meant to get over there without being spotted?” Brodie demanded. Mallory smiled. “Vanish.” “You don’t have enough mana to make all of us invisible at the same time,” Brodie said. “I don’t need to make everyone invisible at once. Two can go over at a time.” Mallory glanced around the group.
