"Okay, Isaiah just texted. The soldiers and their trucks should start passing this area any minute now." Kaelos whispered to me, placing his phone back into his pocket.
It took a while, but the plan went into motion that same day.
Not only had Governor Daniel managed to recall all the soldiers outside the city and send them on a false "scouting mission" at a spot in the forest close to the location of the hidden pocket dimension, but Isaiah had branded Kaelos and me with special sigils that would camouflage us.
The sigils would also act as a tether to Isaiah for if or when we enter the pocket dimension, so he can use it as a medium to track the location if the need arises.
I was nervous, drawing in a deep breath behind the bushes where Kaelos and I hid. He was supposed to be a calming force, but I couldn't concentrate when his shoulder brushed mine.
It was only a slight brush and he was fully clothed, yet that still got me restless like a dog in heat.
