Frost shakes his head. "No." he answers Kiera before turning to Hiero. "And I don't know who Malwrath is."

But a bad feeling begins stirring deep within the wolf's core. You and the wolf will suffer for your crimes of war. the rat's words echo in his mind.

Drake shrugs. "Never heard the name before, either." he says. It takes a few moments before what Keira said finally registers with him. "Hold up. . . 'your world'? Exactly what's that supposed to mean, then?" he asks, raising an eyebrow at Keira and Frost.

The thorny lizard's question brings the wolf's focus back to the matter at hand. "I'll explain later." he says.

"You said that back at the museum!" Drake responded.

"We've wasted enough time as it is. Aren't you in a hurry to save your countrymen?" Frost asks.

"Well, yes, but-"

"Then we need to get going." Frost cuts Drake off.

Drake bites his lip, somewhat annoyed. "You two are hardly able to stand the heat." he says. "I hate to say it, but we may need to wait until nightfall before making our move, when things are cooler."

Frost remains silent for a moment. "Night would give us some additional cover." he notes. "And any security is likely to be reduced to a skeleton crew."

"So. . . it' settled?" Drake asks.

"I'll do some reconnaissance first." Frost says. "After I formulate a plan, I'll return here and wait for nightfall." he then begins heading for the exit. "Stay here until I get back."

"Wait, hold up! You're going out there alone?" he asks. "You barely managed to get this far in this heat! Not to mention the desert winds change the lay of the landscape. You'll have a hard time finding your way back if anything happens." he steps forward towards Frost. "I know a lot about this desert. Let me tag along. I know I can be useful."

Frost stops and turns around. He remains silent for a minute, contemplating. More than likely, Drake knows the desert well and could find the way back. Frost eventually nods and Drake comes to the wolf's side. Frost then looks at Hiero. "I trust you and her won't get into any more disputes while we're gone?" he asks.
