Well

Well! I hope I didn't get any flames for the last chapter… I do like Kel, she's my fave char, but I thought it was very sweet. Whatever! Deal with it! Oh, sorry I've been taking so long, but the French project is due on Monday, and technically I have to finish mowing the lawn before I can go on the computer. *grins sheepishly*. And we have a big lawn. Bah, enough complaining.

Chapter 13: Homecoming…?

It was all set up; they were ready to go. Faeya breathed a sigh of relief. Soon, she'd be home. Home… Myranda had decided to stay- she'd gotten quite attached to Carson. Fae shook her head at the whole business.

In this Tortall, there tended to be fewer with the Gift, but with stronger Gifts. The black-robe mage was almost common. In fact, there was even a slot above the black robe called the silver robe. Right now there were four in the world.

Faeya was amazed that they would try to send her home, and willingly. It had all been set up, now it was time to pull the trigger.

One of the mages raised his hands: this was the signal. The others raised their hands as well, and a portal of black swirling mass formed just a few feet away from Faeya. Just looking at it made her feel dizzy, as if- well, it wasn't like anything she had ever felt before. The best way to describe it was like riding on a roller coaster that went through a transparent knotted tube while turning around and around. Closing her eyes and taking a deep breath, Faeya stepped into the funnel. She felt like she was falling and rising at the same time- then she made the mistake of opening her eyes.

Everywhere there were clocks: grandfather clocks, sundials, electric alarm clocks, wrist watches- the list went on. Half of them had numbers on them that Fae had never even seen before. She passed out.

When Faeya came to, she was sitting on a hard rock in the middle of a forest. Good so far, she thought. To think I'm finally home…

Heh heh… but is she? Short, I know. And the clocks in the time travel portal thing is so used. Oh, this is the end of this part. I'm gonna call the next one Time Travel Chronicles Part 2: The Last Lady Knight. I'm getting fond of these long titles! It'll be about (duh) the last lady knight before Alanna, who Fae meets, along with others, etc, etc. Review!
