A/N: I'm sorry if there are any major typos. I sprained my wrist
yesterday, so typing has become a bit of a challenge. Hope you enjoy this
part! r/r
Her breathing was still heavy, although is had slowed down a bit. How long had she been here? How long had she been conscious? Still, even after however long it had been, she still didn't know where "here" was.

"You must go to her now." The voice boomed from all directions in the never-ending Mists.
"Where is she? I can't sense her up here."
"She is lost within herself," another voice replied, this one softer than the first.
The woman standing in the circle of Mists looked around herself and glared at the few towering forms she could see. "How do I get to her?"
A figure who had not yet spoken raised a hand into the air. "You must both go to her." The hand reasserted itself at the Elder's side and he continued, "Follow the path to her with her heart."
The woman started to reply, but the first figure with the commanding voice stopped her. "You must go. Now." The towering man waved his hand and the woman disappeared, sent back to her daughter.
The soft voice floated through the air, "she will not adjust easily. This will be the most difficult task in her entire existence."
"What will be will be."
"Remember, what will be, is not now."

The older woman put a annoyed look on her face. "They said just about as much as They always say."
"Mother..." The younger woman raised her eyebrows slightly and let her voice drop a notch.
"We have to go to her, Patty," Penny let out a sigh in her words, the lines of age on her face creasing with thought.
"Where is she? I can't sense her here, and she's not down there anym--"
"She somewhere up here. I just don't know where." The look on her daughter's face seemed to ask a question, and Penny answered, "I don't think that They know, either." They two Witches stood in silence for a moment and then Penny continued, "They did say to follow the path to her with her heart, but, that couldn't mean..."
"Couldn't it?" Patty smiled at her mother. "I think that for once, I know exactly what They are talking about."
Her breathing was still heavy, although is had slowed down a bit. How long had she been here? How long had she been conscious? Still, even after however long it had been, she still didn't know where "here" was.
