In which Cimorene and Kazul are surprised by a young girl, a very large cat, and a blind man (who happens to be rather young himself) and many things happen as a result
(part 9)
Altra's wails were starting to subside when the mirror turned milky white again.
"Incoming call from the magician Telemain." the mirror said. " Then put him through already!" Morwen snapped peevishly. The face of a fairly handsome middle-aged man floated gradually into view. "Ah Morwen! How lovely to see your scowling face."
"Get to the point Telemain!" "Oh, well then, I do seem to be in a bit of a predicament. You see, I was traveling with a young man by the name of Karal who happened to be heading this way (Altra was all ears upon hearing this) and I seem to have gotten into a bit of a fix." "Well, what is it Telemain?!" (She was really getting cross now.) " Really Morwen, you shouldn't be so cantankerous with such a dear friend as I. As I was saying, I was commuting with Karal and-" "Telemain!!!!" (Ooo, if looks could excoriate.)
"Well if I knew you were going to be like that about it I would have called Mendenbar. Good-bye!" Telemain turned away as if to leave. "Wait Telemain! I'm sorry I was so short with you, but you know how you get and I'm a bit short on patience now! (Takes a deep breath, mentally counting to ten.) Please tell me what you want."
"Need my dear, not want, but be that as it may I need you to come to the reflecting pool, you know the one where all of the princess's usually show up? It's a bit of an emergency. You might want to bring some medicines with you." "I'll be there as soon as I can."
With that Telemain disappeared. "That man can be incorrigible at times. Oh well, I guess we're off to the reflecting pool!"
Author's Notes~ Sorry these are so short, but I got impatient and nobody's voted yet. You can vote by e-mailing me at starshadow@theschoolowlery.zzn.com or by voting in your review which I'm sure you were just about to write. Ahem, you were about to write a review now weren't you? Of course you were. (And if you weren't, you better reconsider.)
P.S. For someone who asked, excoriate (in this case) means to flay, censure, or condemn, that sort of thing.
