Nissa doublechecked before speaking. “Brood,” she said finally.

Sorin moaned. “Are their muzzles blue?” he asked.

“I can’t tell,” Nissa said. “But, yes, it is possible, now that you put words to it.”

“Trackers,” Sorin said.

“But why would they—”

“They are probably tracking the kor refugees,” Sorin said. “But they will find us in the process if we don’t move.”
