Chapter 144

• “Undress and have this on. You don't need anything that would make you slack back along the way because it's going to be quite a long journey.” Lyra narrated to Odessa after placing the dress she had come with. “I wouldn't transform until we achieve our aim. I need my human senses to find the shrine.”
• Odessa squatted and picked up the dress. It was black trousers and a cotton top that would cross her buttocks when she put it on. But, it was so light, and she believed it would make her feel free to walk for a long time.
• “Be fast! We have to leave before anyone notices.” Lyra said to her and took a seat. “We're going to take the back gate, and I'm sure you know where I'm talking about.”
