Raecla gave Numair a strange look. Come again? You're
saying that
for some reason each of us needed to come here?
Yes, that's what we think. he answered.
I may have really wanted to come here, I have for years.
But I really
don't see how each of us needed to come here. I was the only
one who had
even read the books! Raecla was completely confused now.
That is all we know for now, but it is certain. What is
more, we can't
seem to identify the power that brought you from your world. One
person, or
even four people with the Gift couldn't manage it.
That leaves two possible sources, either Tortall or the
Gods. The look
in his eyes showed that he didn't understand any of this
much more than she
did.
So you've already ruled out Tortall brought us,
because we need it. So
that means... She trailed off, the enormity of it hitting
her.
Yes, we think the Gods brought you four to Tortall. They
have their
own reasons, reasons that they have not cared to share with me,
he gave her
a wry smile, But I think that you may find out anyway. Take
a close look at
your friends and yourself, you may find that you are more at home
here than
you think.
Why does he have to be so damned enigmatic? she thought to
herself,
but her thoughts were cut off by him speaking again.
While you are here, we think it best that you be passed
off as
Tortallans, so you'll have to find out a station that you
will be comfortable
in.
Excuse me, he said ruefully, I ought to be
used to people not
knowing what I mean. For example: Your friend Luisa could be the
Shang
Wildcat's apprentice. I imagine she would like that.
Oh, yes she would. Marco could train with the pages, Rob
could
study with Tkaa... but what about me? I suppose I could work in
the libraries
or something.
The mage smiled as his eyes sparkled, No, I don't
think that will be
necessary. As a matter of fact, when we're finished, Thayet
would like to
meet with you to that end.
The Queen?!? She asked, her eyes wide.
Who else? he returned with a smile and sent a
servant to fetch Her
Royal Highness.
Hey Peeps!! Whaddya think of this one? I'm planning either a ball or a battle sometime in the near future, most likely a ball 'cause I cant write battle scenes. I have trouble thinking of new supporting characters, so if anyone wants to be in it, just drop me a line at sonnet421@literati.co.uk with your character and any possible ideas for what you want them to do at the ball.
Another chapter ought to be coming soon, I have the idea all planned out, just keep checking for it. Oh! and I also FINALLY got to read Page so there might be a few things from that popping up occasionally!
R/R or DIE!!!!
