Celaena examined the clock for a second more. The thick, clawed finger of a gargoyle pointed at her. She could have sworn that its jaws had widened. As she made to follow Chaol, she noticed a tile on the paved pathway. “What’s this?” He stopped. “What’s what?” She pointed at the mark engraved on the slate. It was a circle with a vertical line through the middle that extended beyond the circumference. Both ends of the line were hooked, one directing downward, the other up. “What is this mark on the path here?” He walked around until he stood beside her. “I have no idea.” Celaena examined the gargoyle again. “He’s pointing at it. What does the symbol mean?” “It means you’re wasting my time,” he said. “It’s probably some sort of decorative sundial.”
