Grace smiled. “Take care, Bran.”
Stepping away from her, Bran wove shadow and light around himself, becoming invisible. He climbed through the window and lowered himself down. Once his feet touched solid ground, he released the strand of magic he’d twined into rope and strode away through the wintry Flores gardens. He didn’t have to look up to know Grace had closed the window and was hiding any traces of his being there. His smile faded the further away from her he walked. He’d have to return to the nomad camp sooner or later. Being the clan chief was much more difficult than being the chief’s son, and it was made even more burdensome ever since the clans had combined, one of the changes since Aaric had destroyed the Tower.
Bran thought of Aaric. The former Oppressor had married Bran’s childhood best friend, Adaryn, and the two had left together a few months earlier. Adaryn was tired of living with the nomad stigma and looked to find change beyond the mountains to the East. Bran wished her the very best, and hoped she was happy. He didn’t suppose he’d see her again though.
A faint thread of magic floated across his senses. Bran froze. A few freed nomads had stayed in the city as paid servants, but not very many. Sensing magic in the city now was rare. He felt another strand and looked around, trying to pinpoint it. He couldn’t identify anyone in the crowd as a magic user, however, and the magic faded almost as soon as he sensed it. He shrugged uneasily, holding the threads of his own magic closer, keeping himself invisible to anyone who couldn’t wield enchantment. Any nomad would be able to see him though, and he felt strangely exposed as he walk down the tangled streets toward the gates. He would have to be more careful. If his clan learned he was seeing a magistrate’s daughter, there would be trouble.
With great relief he finally exited the city and entered the dark shelter of the woods.
