**Woah, okay, I think I know where this story is going now, but if I suddenly decide to change it, I'm sorry. SUMMAH TIME!! Yay! Read and review for now! ~CJ~**
The carriage bumped along the dirt road. Cynthia felt every bump, making new bruises over her arms and legs. "Ouch…" she whispered. **This better be worth everything they told me… I wonder why they still were trying to kill me…. maybe it was still just a part of the plan to trick these people…. I hope that I can keep up my part of my bargain…**
"I hope she's alright in the luggage compartment…" thought Sandry out loud.
"Oh, if she's been trained by the Thief King, then she'll be fine." Briar answered, but his thoughts were elsewhere. **What if Cynthia is my sister? Mother never told me bout no siblings, but she was a little cautious the last few days she was alive…. Could it be, she was hiding a sister from me? ** Briar was so much in thought; he didn't hear when Rosethorn was calling for him. Only when Sandry stepped on his foot, did he notice that he was needed elsewhere. He gave her a quick grin and jumped out of the stopped carriage. "What do ya need?" he asked when he got to where Rosethorn was standing.
"Gods, child, you took your time reaching me." Rosethorn looked at the boy, searching for a reason why he was late. "You're hiding something from me, boy. What is it?"
Briar looked blankly at her. "I don't know what you're talking about."
Rosethorn glared at him.
"What did you need me for?" asked Briar, changing the subject. Rosethorn suddenly remembered the problem at hand, and began explaining to Briar what he had to do.
(A/N: I don't know what that will be, but it'll be in the plot sooner or later J)
"What's happening?" Tris asked Niko, as they waited on their horses.
Surprised, It was one of the first things Tris had said after leaving the manor, Niko answered, "Nothing that you should concern yourself with yet," and trotted up to see Lark, shooing Daja away.
"Nothing that you should concern yourself with." Mocked Tris to Daja as she rode over to her. "Bah, its something to concern ourselves with, that's for sure."
"Well, they won't tell us what it is, so we might as well *not* bother with it." Tris pouted, and Daja grinned, settling her horse with the others and going into the carriage to see Sandry.
"What's happening out there?" asked Sandry, looking up from the braid she had been making, her 5th at least since they left.
"Nothing to concern yourself with." Replied Daja, looking at the puzzled Sandry, she said, "Never mind, it's just something we're not allowed to know yet."
Sandry nodded and went back to her braid, "That's what I thought."
"Sandry!" called Lark, "come here please!"
"Coming!" she called back and put her braid down. "I guess I'll find out whets going on soon enough."
"And I'll just sit here and do nothing? I don't think so. Frostpine!! What am I supposed to be doing right now?"
Dedicate Frostpine grinned. "Coming with me, Daja."
When Sandry and Daja hopped out, what they saw filled them with awe. (teehee rhymed) Magic was flowing all around them, blue, green, yellow, purple, red, pink, it was all coming from the city under them, Hajra, when you followed the magic up to the sky, you can see it disappear, seemingly, into the sky.
"What's happening??" asked Sandry, "where's all the magic going?"
**Where *is* the magic going?? Who knows, I certainly don't. Well review anyway. I'll be back, hopefully with an ending ~CJ~**
