As they patted each other’s shoulders, he placed a tracking device on the back of Feng’s collar.

In the distance, Alpha nodded his head again and walked away to inspect some more troops.

CHAPTER 28

From across the Floraverse, Bugz could see Feng in a small oasis miles away from the Clan:LESS base. He’d taken the precautions they’d agreed on—headed deep into the desert where they figured he couldn’t be surveilled. He dropped to a knee, his face the picture of focus.

“I can hear you calling me.” Her voice sparkled across his voice-com. “Here. Hitch a ride.”

Storm clouds formed overhead and a Thunderbird swept down from the heavens. It snatched Feng up in its talons and rocketed toward the edge of the virtual atmosphere. Feng suspected his clanmates would see the bird hurtling through the stratosphere, but he didn’t care. He figured even if they saw the bird, they wouldn’t think it had anything to do with him.

The Thunderbird announced its arrival at Lake of the Torches with a scream. Bugz, Mishi-pizhiw, and the other animals gathered along the shore. The Thunderbird swooped down toward the lake and dropped Feng roughly on the ground. The bird glared at Mishi-pizhiw for a few seconds and took off.

“They don’t like each other, do they?” Feng asked, attempting to break the ice.

“You made it!” Bugz greeted him with a hug.

Mishi-pizhiw dove into the lake and disappeared beneath its surface. Bugz and Feng watched the shadow of his form fade from view. It was a dark afternoon. The sky was covered with a purple and orange haze, giving the day an eerie feel.

“So, you want to learn how to be a Floraverse ninja?” Bugz teased. “I’ll show you around.”

“I’ve been here, remember? Twice!”

“Oh yeah.” Bugz grinned as she scooped up a small red flower from the ground. “Didn’t you leave with your tail between your legs?”

“Maybe someone let me leave because she couldn’t stand the thought of living without me?”

Bugz forced a shallow laugh. “Don’t flatter yourself. Anyways, don’t share any of this with your stupid clan, okay?”

Feng nodded.
