A/N: Once again, a thought to share: It will get more exciting later, stick with me, okay?

Also, if you have not read Magic Steps, Stone Magic, Cold Fire, or Shatterglass, please skip this chapter, for it contains spoilers about those stories.

Disclaimer: I do not own Briar, or anyone in these stories. I wish I did though! 

Stories and Exchanges

I clambered onto the roof, smiling when I saw Briar back up against the chimney.

"Back together again." He said happily.

"Yes." Sandry agreed, moving over for me. She then pulled out a familiar brown pouch, which held our Magic Circle-the four lumps that thread us together in friendship and magic.

I laid a hand on mine, Briar his, Tris hers, and Sandry joined us as we left our reality and went to our mind-speech.

"Sandry, you first." Briar commanded.

"Well, shortly after you left, I left to go take care of the Duke, because of his heart attack. While riding with him one morning, I saw a magical working, one that was very powerful.

The boy, Pasco, was doing dance magic, very rare here in Emalen. I took him and told his parents, who were Provost Guards, which meant that they wanted to make him work on a certain aspect, which he couldn't do. Then, the killiongs started and I weaved a speel net under Lark. Pasco danced the spell that would call them to us, and he nearly got us killed in the process. Hes working with Yolanda, a dancer now." Sandry said, touching Briar.

"Your turn." She said.

"We left, and we went to a palce where Rosethorn thought we were needed most. There, I met Evvy, a stone Mage, which was very useful there. However, the only stone mage wouldn't teach her, and a very powerful Lady wanted Evvy for her gang. So, I taught Evvy how to control her magic, and afterwards, Evvy was kidnapped. So, I went to find her, and it turns out this lady was killing the other gangs and killing people she didn't like. She poisned herself, and thanks to Evvy, was shown as a very bad person." Briar said, turning to me. "Daja, your turn."

"We went to visit with some of Frostpines friends. There, I met Jory and Nita their twin girls with ambient magic. I taught them meditation, and got them teachers. Then I met Ben Lauderman, a man who kept the city from catching fire. I like dhim, he seemed like a good guy. Then, a hospital caught fire. It was then I discovered Ben was th eone who was the fire bug, and he killed himself in a fire." I siad simply, and shrugged. "Weather witch, your turn."

"We lef to go visit with one of Niko's friend during a mage confrence. I met a man there, Kethlun. He was a glassblower journyman, and a lightning mage. Because of that, his glass work was very very bad. Well, he went to the local Mage place, and eventually, I had to teach him. Well, that was a problem, because earlier, we had a fight because our magics had been mixed to make Chime. We eventually got along, and then the Ghost started killing the entertainers. Well, Keths globes when they cleared, would show the lastest victim of the ghost. I found out who it was, and he nearly killed me." She said, standing up. "We should probably go now."

I glanced up, startled to see tha tit was noontime-almost time for meditation practice, and now, lunch.

"Yeah, lets go." I said, and swung down into the attic of Discipline.

A/N: Yes, I know, I said it wa sll from Dajas point of View. Sorry, next chapter is from Evvys.
