Chapter 27

The Trickster and the Graveyard Hag stood as giants. Later, that would be all that Alanna, George, Daine, Numair, Nawat and Aly would be able to tell you. They know what they say, but they would never be able to put it into words. What they saw was too large for words.

What they saw, they would forever wish they didn't.

What are you doing here Aly? Said the Trickster. His voice boomed around the tornado.

"Saving you. This is a bet. Did you know about it?" Aly answered.

No, growled the Trickster. He raised his arms and the Graveyard flew back, shrinking until she was too small to see.

The Graveyard Hag laughed. As the laugh faded away, she said, I almost won, too.

What was the bet? Demanded the Trickster.

That no one would come to your aide. The Graveyard Hag laughed again, and the tornado disappeared.

I owe you all a boon. Now get out.


That's it. The end. You expected some big final battle, didn't you?

Haha. =D

Happy Chanukkah!
