In the churning lace-top waves something begins to shimmer oddly, and then rise. The hairs along Chem’s spine raise, his smoke thickening and swirling, turning from black to a glowing silver around his ankles and along his back. He doesn’t react, but watches the horse emerge, a stallion, and he walks like he is quite sure no one will stop him from entering the Cove.
He would correct to assume as much, in fact, no one will stop anyone from coming to the Cove.
He cannot smell or see the colt’s infamous parents in his face, or in his coat, so there is no way to really why it is that the boy knows his name. He adorns deep scars from the encounter with Gale, but hasn’t a clue that he’s looking down at his son. Would it matter if he did know? Probably not.
“I am.” His antique voice cracks from his throat and his eyes are steady on the stranger, squinting for a moment at the question. “Yes.” His ears lay back and he turns away without a word. If Malik takes the vague cue, then he would follow and Chem will show him the shallow caves hollowed into the sides of the strong walls stone lining the Cove’s beach. The small cave he slides into is enough room for both and out of the storm.
