Chapter 1   The daylighter world was unbearably bright.   Even at night, the smiles of the Sisters seemed excessive, especially surrounded by all those stars. And then, during the day, the Three Brothers drowned the sky with light. Amri could only hope that his eyes would adjust over time.   Until that time, the Grottan Gelfling wore his hood, trying to keep his face in shadow even as he followed his companions through the sun-dappled mountain wood. His eyes moved across the moss- and grass-covered earth, like a pelt over the mountain’s stone skeleton, whose soggy soil bled into Amri’s sandals.   Through the brightness, Amri caught something stirring in the wood. Whatever lurked ahead was distant enough to be seen but not heard. Were they being watched?   He reached out and tugged on Kylan’s sleeve. The Spriton boy walked just ahead of him, using a stick to clear brush away from their path. Under his free arm he held a scroll with a map he’d drawn, and hanging at his breast was his firca, a Y-shaped musical instrument made out of bone.   “Kylan,” Amri whispered. Maybe his new friend’s green daylighter eyes could make something out. “Do you see something? To our right. Under those trees!”   “Where?” Kylan lowered his voice instinctively, ears swiveling back and forth, straining for any sign of danger.   “What are you two whispering about?”   Naia appeared behind them. She had been farther up the hill, breaking the trail, when she’d realized that the others had stopped. Amri wasn’t surprised she had returned so stealthily. Dagger in hand, camouflaged in tan and brown leathers, locs pulled back in a loose knot, she was every inch a Drenchen warrior.   Somewhere nearby, a twig snapped. Amri drew the sword that hung at his hip, though he had no idea how to use it. Naia ducked to a crouch as six tall white-and-gray animals emerged from the trees, only a stone’s throw away. The big-eared creatures’ long, slender legs carried their furry bodies high among the branches. The beasts grumbled softly to one another, flicking their proboscises to taste the sweet sap that dripped from the wintry trees.   Kylan fell back in relief, wiping his brow. “Wild Landstriders. And here I thought the Skeksis had found us.”   Amri stared at the Landstriders as they passed, trying to absorb every detail of the wondrous creatures. Naia watched him with an amused smile.   “Landstrider rear ends can’t be that interesting,” she teased.   “Maybe not to you. I’ve never seen a Landstrider front end, so . . .”   “Fair,” she chuckled. “Well, come on. We’ve got to keep moving.”   Naia and Kylan left, forging ahead on their trail without a second glance as the troop of Landstriders disappeared into the wood. Amri wasn’t surprised. The others were from this world, after all. Kylan’s clan, the Spriton, had named the Land
