Ancient Prophecy

"We will spend the night here," he announced.  "We are at the place of the Junction.  In the morning, we will take a step through a portal that has not been used in many years.  If we are lucky, we will travel to Elderal.  If not, we will handle whatever fate has given us.  Make camp."

Alex watched the elf and the dwarf stake out spots on opposite sides of the camp area.  During the first day together, neither had spoken to the other.  Prince Tergota refused to wear the elfin cloak and Alex had stuffed it into his pack.  He would have to keep a close watch on these two adversaries to make sure that they both returned alive.  Even though Egam was the group's leader, Alex didn't think that the old magician would be able to stand between the two warriors if hostile feelings broke out.

The night passed without incident and the group broke camp the next morning.  Half an hour down the path, Egam halted the group again.  He turned and surveyed the group and then cast the Path Finder spell.  The path directly in front of Egam shimmered and the group marched through.
