It's cold here, this high up, even in midsummer. Further down, the Kharn River sparkles in the light of the evening sun. The same light shines golden from the wings of an eagle that soars over the river's canyon-- far below them, even in flight.
There's a small open space here, scattered with rocks. It's flat ground though, and that's one of the most important things-- and something Brock takes immediate advantage of, setting down the packs and stretching.
The other important thing, of course, is the presence of the border marker-- a large archway, made of granite, looking for all the world like the mouth of a cave in shadow. It's to this that Kim goes, closing her eyes as she steps through.
When she comes back, she's not alone.
