Knots in a magic thread
Chapter One: Meet Mina and a tricked Goddess
A/N: Okay, no yelling at me! I'm working on Discovery and Time Travel Troubles still, but I have been toying with this for six months. Actually maybe eight... Since June anyways. Oh well, anyhow, on with the disclaimer! By the way, this is set two weeks after Emperor Mage.
Disclaimer: I own Riley, Cassie, Mina, Emily, and my copy of The Night Lives On by Walter Lord.
"Cass! Come on we are watching that show!" Mina Cross said impatiently.
"Why?" Cassie asked stubbornly. Emily rolled her light brown eyes.
"Come on! My mom probably taped over it already!" Mina whined.
"You really want to see Clue, don't you?" Riley said.
"Yup!" Mina said, then sprinted over to her house. As they went into Mina's house, they didn't notice the flash of brown fire that took them far from their homes...
The girl sighed and went to her work. To many, her work seemed to be cutting clear thread at irregular lengths. Some noticed the fact that the thread colored after being cut. In reality, she was sorting out how much magic a human got, based on a small description by the Fates. Only once had she messed up and knotted the thread, but once she sent four strands to a world mostly magicless and she didn't know what might happen.
She was about to find out...
Diane was going to see to her pony, Cloud, when she heard a small crash. Opening the door to the hallway, she saw four girls.
The smallest had short brown hair and light green eyes. She was wearing a dark blue short sleeved shirt that read "Wilson Middle School's Macbeth"
One about an inch taller had frizzy red hair and large gray eyes. She was wearing a similar black shirt that read "Phantom of the Opera." Both had dark blue breeches made of an odd material.
The third had wavy light blonde hair and blue-green eyes. Spectacles of a thin metal perched on her nose. She had a plain purple top and light tan breeches of the same odd material.
The fourth was tall with light brown hair and pale blue eyes. She was wearing an orange shirt that said "Costume" in black letters She had light blue breeches like the others.
"Hello, my names Diane, who are you?" she asked, wondering if they were new Rider trainees.
"My name's Riley," said the redhead.
"Emily," said the small girl, thinking.
"I'm Cassie" said the blonde politely.
"I'm Mina," the last girl said.
"Um, excuse me, but where are we?" Riley asked.
"The Royal Palace in Corus, the capital of Tortall, why?" Diane asked nervously.
"Well, we were in Southeastern Pennsylvania, the United States of America, five minutes ago," Cassie explained.
"Where's that?" Diane asked, wishing for a guard to walk by.
"In another world, if I'm right," Emily said softly, then fainted.
"I'm going to take you to my teacher, Numair. He might be able to sort this out."
