Chapter 13:
~*~ Alec ~*~
Lyra and Will walked back to the village. They went into the hut they were staying in. It was late, and they were tired from all they'd been through that day, so they went straight to sleep.
~*~
After Alec had dropped off his note to Lyra, he went on a long trip. He spent the next two years backpacking across the worlds. Alec explored foreign mountains, valleys, and cities.
One day, when he reached a new world, he stood in awe of what lay ahead of him. The trees in this place were as tall as mountains, they seemed to stretch on forever. He and his dæmon, Kiallie, walked through this strange world for a few hours.
"We should make camp here tonight." Said Kiallie. "It's getting pretty late."
"Alright, Kia'." Said Alec. He hated to stop, because he wanted to explore the village they'd seen farther ahead. But Kia' was right, the sky was dark and full of stars. He even thought he saw a shooting star. Alec set up a small tent, made of camouflage material. He ate some dinner, and went to sleep.
~*~
The next morning, Alec went down to the stream in the woods that he saw the night before. He needed to fill up his canteen. When he was nearly there, he heard someone laughing. He stopped suddenly. He knew that voice; it was Lyra. He saw someone coming, and ducked behind a tree. He looked around it and saw Lyra and Will walking by. They were holding bottles. They were out collecting a supply of water for the mulefa. Lyra was laughing, she'd just pushed Will into the stream. He fell in, soaking wet. Then Will pulled her in after him. She kissed him, and then dunked his head under the water. She climbed out, and Will followed her. They lay on the grass for a while, drying in the warm sun.
Alec couldn't believe his eyes. Of all the worlds…they had come to the same one…He was tempted to run up and speak to her, but he held himself back. What would he say? "Oh, hey Lyra! Remember me? The guy who was supposed to be your friend, but tried to kiss you, even though I knew you were in love with someone else." Yeah, that would go well. He did want to talk to her, but not then. Later, when she wasn't with Will.
~*~
Lyra and Will had a great time at the stream, but Lyra had a strange feeling, as though someone was watching her. She didn't think much of it though, and eventually it went away.
Later, Will went to help Mary repair a damaged hut. Lyra went out on her own to explore for a while. She'd brought a small rucksack, with some food and her alethiometer in it. She was now very good at reading it. Lyra found a quiet spot, in the shade of a seedpod tree, and sat down. She pulled her alethiometer out of her bag and looked at it. It was a beautiful instrument; the symbols around the edges were painted with such detail, and she'd just recently polished it. The gold shone brightly in the midday sun. Lyra heard a noise behind her.
"Will?" Said Lyra uncertainly, turning around.
"Hello, Lyra." Said Alec.
