OK, I was digging through my old files and found this. I wrote it about a year ago, but decided to post it. If I continue, it will be a Tortall/Emelan crossover. Tell me what you think...
In the city of Kugisko, in Namorn
Niamara, known to her family and friends as Nia, was memorizing her day's work at the shop when she heard a commotion downstairs. Since they had caught Bennat Ladradun almost a year ago now, there had been no big crimes. Still…
Suddenly, Nia kneeled over in pain, though seemingly nothing had happened. Where was her twin, Jory? Obviously, her twin was hurt. Fighting the pain and the growing panic, Nia raced down the stairs, anxious about what she might find. Something she didn't expect was this; a gaggle of people she recognized as workers and volunteers from were Jory was apprenticed, with her parents in the middle. Her mother looked up and saw her, then turned her head and whispered something in her husband's ear, who winced, and looked up too.
Nia's hart quickened. The looks her parents gave her were filled worry. But about what? And were was Jory?
Nia got the rundown from her mother as they were waiting, somewhat impatiently for the Lawkeepers to come back with the reports. They were puzzling, but oddly, that's what they all expected, after what they had heard from Oleikia Potcracker, Jory's teacher and mentor.
"I've never seen anything like it. One moment she was there, and the next, she wasn't. There was no smoke, no anything. She was just gone. "
Nia remembered something, "She didn't feel well this morning, did she mention anything to you?"
"She looked pale, and she had a small cough when she came, but she took one of my cough remedies and it went away by midmorning."
The Lawkeepers came up with no leads. Jorality Bancanor had vanished without a trace.
Love it, hate it? Should I continue? LIke I said, a Tortall/Emelan xover, and if people want, I will post more, so that means... Review, please?
My happiness is just a mouse-click away...
