How immortals and humans started mixing.

Immortals began to comfortably live with mortals in Dunlath at the end of 'Wolfspeaker' when Maura gave the ogres part of her estate to live and farm. I'm assuming that the remaining immortals (after 'In the Realms of the Gods') would similarly settle down and socialize. As there are very few differences between elves and humans, I do not see why they could not 'mix'.

Who is the father of Kel's daughter?

Uh…to be honest I don't know. I haven't read 'Lady Knight' but I do know that Kel kind of hooks up with Dom, so let's make it simple and say the two of the got married and had a girl, k? Anyway, their daughter doesn't influence the plot so we don't need to worry ours heads about that.

Will Selenia play a major role? / Will there be any romance?

The Wavewarrior

Chapter Four

Ђ mess hall Ђ

I groaned. The cat-girl, Selenia, hadn't let go of my arm yet. Just my luck to get stuck with a clingy page. The girl was yet to actually speak to me; she nattered happily to Derrin, prodding me gently to make me walk in her desired direction. I glared at Derrin; he was only encouraging Selenia's embarrassing behaviour. Only the first hour of my sponsorship of the girl and she already acted as if she owned me. Through listening to her and Derrin speak; I learned that she was just less than eight centuries old (she didn't specify) despite the fact that she appeared only to be thirteen. Odd, yes, my brain told me, but I had to remember she was an immortal, not just some poor girl stuck in the middle of transforming. We sat down at a table, quiet whisper and giggles surrounding us. No doubt discussing Selenia's death grip on my arm. Suddenly the pressure was alleviated. I looked at the cat-girl; she was eating. Now that's a relief.

I inspected my breakfast; scrambled eggs, toast and fried ham. Grimacing, as I wasn't hungry, I began to eat. I'd likely need all the energy I could salvage to deal with my wide-eyed, feline 'friend'.

Ђ 'grand tour' Ђ

"And there's my room," Derrin pointed out, after showing Selenia mine. "The class rooms are in the hall parallel to this one across the courtyard and indoor training rooms. The library you can see is there." We continued to walk towards the library.

"Can we go in? Please?" the cat-girl asked turning around to stand in front of us pleadingly.

"Alright, but no more trying to steal my arm." I conceded. In response the girl vanished in a streak of orange, blue, purple and green into the room crammed full of books.

"Think she reads more than you?" Derrin asked looking at me sidelong.

"There is the possibility." I shrugged, "Derrin, would you mind watching her? I'd like to go to the Gallery of Portraits."

"No worries, lover-boy," Derrin teased, dodging my swipe at his head.

"What does that mean? " I asked Derrin pointedly as he retreated into the library.

"Nothing" he replied flapping his hand to tell me to move on. I turned to go back to my room to pick up my supplies.

Ђ later in the Gallery of Portraits Ђ

"She's odd Ailin. I don't think I should trust her. Neither should Derrin, what do you think?" I asked the stone maiden looming above me. "She darted straight to me; defied the training master, well she is approximately twenty times older than him, but…still." I looked up, the light seemed to have changed, I was right. A soft blue fire flowed beneath the stone surface of her skin, standing I reached out and touched her stone face.

A jolt of pain swept through me and the sound of stone grinding filled the air. I gasped, closing my eyes at the agony of trying to fill my lungs with air. Then she relaxed. I slowly opened my eyes; the pain subsided and let my hand drop from Ailin chin. Her position had changed.

"Zak! What was that?" I heard Derrin's voice call out from outside the hall, above the quiet cries of a cat, which could only be my sponsored. Footsteps followed my silence. I fell to my knees. "Zak, are you…" Derrin started to say, "…By Mithros, how did that happen?" He continued indicating the statue.

"I don't know, I was talking…" I let my voice fade away to look at Selenia. She was hissing at Ailin, sometimes breaking her fit by mutterings.

"What's up with her?" Derrin asked, his ears quivering with worry.

"What if…no that would mean that…" I looked up at Derrin, "…she knew her." Derrin looked at me shocked, then at the cat-girl.

"We should continue the tour," he finally said moving over to lead Selenia away from the Wavewarrior. I looked backed at her as I gathered my things and stood.

"I'm sorry." I whispered, "I didn't mean to bring an enemy here.

Arghh. I'm evil. Yes, I'm well aware, that it is short and a bit of a cliffy. I'm sorry for not updating soon, I was at my Dad's place for the past week and his Internet service was down. (Die! Baka Interlog) I hope to get chapter five up by the end of the week, but another two reviews might help to speed me along, who knows.
