The wagons moved slowly through the mud. They had only a half a normal day's travel to the border, but the way was now muddy and dangerous. Several times now they had had to stop and perform the back-breaking work of pulling a wagon out of an unsuspected ditch or hole.
The men were tired and wet, and still scared of what might be coming after them. At this point it was only the fear keeping them awake.
Pierce Farrell was less tired than the men because he had never gotten off his horse to help when they unstuck a wagon. And he was dryer because the quality of his clothes was much better than theirs. But he was annoyed. At this rate it would take them as long as ten more hours to reach the centerlands, and he knew that they could not keep going that long under these conditions.
