After dressing in a pale green summer dress, Ororo walked out into evening sun. A slight breeze was swirling through the humid air making the weather near perfect. Unless you were Ororo she was more partial to a spring rains herself. But never the less she planned to enjoy it while it lasted. With a small glass of red wine and her new book the Shelters of Stone, the fifth book in her favorite series, she walked towards the majestic old oak in front yard of Professor Xavier's mansion. She plopped down on the grass, and took a sip of the wine, savoring the sweet nectar of the gods. Then she opened up her book and lost herself in the world of Jondalar and Ayla. With The melody of nature, blanketing her in serenity.

An hour later she was still lost in her book. The glass lay empty beside Ororo's graceful figure. She was nearly oblivious to her surroundings, not even looking up when a group of students began a game of football in the lawn before her. Therefore when a set of footsteps stopped near her she did not even glance up at the owner, having placing them as those of another student. But when she felt the supposed student's gaze lingering on her, she felt a sudden chill course through her body. She looked up.

A cold voice ensued from the imposing figure, "Hello Mother."



Sorry this is so short. I had originally planned on including this in the last chapter, but like I said I couldn't possibly destroy the ending I already had. And anyway how am I supposed to extend Storm reading her book any longer than it already is!

Updating soon, but in the mean time R/R!! ^-^

Once again The Soldier of Mercy
