"Louder, a voice was telling her, let me find you. The voice scared her, but she obeyed."

Black, it's all black. The room is black and the one window there is shows the darkness of the outside. The girl pulled her quivering knees to her chest and put her head on her legs. It was strangely comforting, the darkness. The girl was terrified of this alien darkness and she let it show, every squeak, every noise, scared her. Where is Neal? The trembling girl wondered. Where is that boy when you want him? The girl, Kel, knew he was here, she could feel him, but where was he? The room, the dark, the helpless feeling that surged in side of here was all she could pay attention to. Tears quickly stained the cheeks of the girl that was hunched in the corner.

She jumped and gawked at the small bared window, it was light.

"Were are they?" The king demanded as he hit the oak table underneath him.

"Sire, we, well, do not know." His messenger told him.

"Jon, go easy on the boy. He didn't do this." Raoul said as he looked at the angry King.

Jonathan touched his nose. "Alanna, Barid's son Neal, Keldary, Thayet, Numair, Daine, and not to mention thirty of The Own and The Raiders. After the battle they all just went poof! Is that what your trying to tell me?" Jonathan inquired the messenger.

"Jon old man! You're scaring the poor boy." Raoul said rolling his eyes. "I know this isn't a good situation, but keep a cool head."

"Sorry, sorry, your Highness, I'll go now!" The boy said and ran off.

"Raoul, really," The king said and resumed his once forgotten pacing.

That dark feeling was there, and so easily letting it destroy her and her mind. Darkness, loneliness, was caressing her. Daine, that's what her name is, Daine. Scared, scared to be alone, that's what the feeling is. Missing The People, missing Numair, missing her home, she panted as if she was trying to replace her breath that was very much there she sighed. She got up and stretched letting her toughs leave her mind. Buzzing, what us that buzzing that attached her ears painfully. She clenched them and screamed.

Louder, a voice was telling her, let me find you. The voice scared her, but she obeyed.

The Scarlet Mage cursed under her breath.

"Now you're in for it," Ateo told her as he relit the lights with his sliver magic. "Culling that Roger mortal." He cursed when he burnt his hand.

"Don't you tell me what to do," Alison the Scarlet Mage told him sternly. "That man was a pig, always trying to uncross my legs."

"There's a new way of putting it," Ateo informed her and lit the last torch.

Alison snarled. "Out," She told him and watched as the laughing man left her. "Just what I need is a smart-aleck as an assistant." She scowled and watched as the sun crept up into the sky. "What?" She asked her self dumbfounded. "They don't have a day here, do they?" her eyes widened as she whispered, "Magic."

~*~

Let me find you, the voice shouted in the WildMage's mind. Calm your self, Daine. Daine swallowed that voice was strangely familiar. She opened her mouth to scream but was hushed hurriedly light there was light.

Death, this must be death. She always knew that there was insanity in her family, but after death? She pinched herself on her arm no this was not death. What is that? Light? No, there can't be light; this is a world or dark. Darkness and evil. The light was strange, not like light at home; it was pure white light that seemed to sanctify this world of evil. The Lioness looked from her prison cell to see the light shining on the riches and the bounties of this land. It was stunning, she decided.
