Chapter 9

Susan asked "So what do you think of explaining some things? Like the monster which tried to kill us or this border being gone. What are immortals? Or better questions, what other immortals as those monsters outside are there? I mean mean monsters, not the dragon or this. excuse me what are you?"

Daine and Alanna grinned, Tkaa ooked at the strange woman "Well, I am Tkaa, a wanderer between the worlds, I can speak all languages and well I eat stones, and I can turn enemies into stone. We are called Basilisks."

"Ok, what monsters are there, out there now?"

Tkaa explained "Well, stormwings you met, than there are spidren, really big spiders with human heads, acid blood and strong nets, glowing in the dark. Then there are Alkerts, horses with wings and claw, centaurs, [ So guys, anyone here giving me the English names of the other immortals . I am not quite sure for most of them, like they are called "Eiszähne" Or "Menschenfresser" in the German version of the books. PLEASE help, I just read the Keladry books in English, and I just borrowed them, so I have just the last Keladry volume here in English, not really helping]

"So, how to defeat them? How much of them are there out there, and now out here? /so seems to be the word I really like this evening and guys, too// And who is this Ozorne, that he would be able to send forces to get Daine?"

Now, Carrot broke in "Better question, as we will live here, for a while, how can we help? What shall we do? Well, we are all good archers, and Angua and I also now how to fence." Susan was missish right now, "And Angua is a weapon itself, fangs to break deer bones with, shape shifting into a wolf, not being killed by common weapons" Carrot grew reddish with anger. Angua soothed him "It's all right, when she is saying it, Carrot, and at least it is an ability no one else has."

Numair broke in "No one, except for you Angua and Diane, besides, Daine could shift in the shape of any mortal animal."

"No quarrels" Jon demanded. "We will need help for this, from the gods. We should pray to them for help. Especially Daine and Alanna as you were both the Chosen Ones of Gods."

He silence, something felt wrong. A tall slender figure materialized in their middle. It had a large cape covering him. After seconds the first of them realizes who it was.

"Dark God" gasping this Alanna knelt down. Everyone following her example. Except Susan, who wasn't afraid at all? Well as the granddaughter of death you are not easily scared.

"I have come to this place to visit my uhm, kind of cousin child, where are you? "Fixing his eyes - or better the part of the cape where his eyes should be- in Susan's direction.

"I am here" Susan stated, far away from fear. "And I am called Susan"

"Cousin, as your grandfather, is worried about you, I am worrying, too. You will have to stay here for a long time, and so you need to be protected. I'll help you and the people around you, as much as I can. Here are my gifts for you. He handed Susan a clock - some lifetime for rescue - It had not to be you who is rescued. Don't waste it, use as little as possible until a healer can heal the nearly dead. But do not use it on everybody, just at close friends, or I'll get angry with you. And here, he gave her a necklace with a small silver scythe on it. It will alert you when immortal danger is arriving. I will see you soon child."

The figure vanished. ********************************************************** Ok enough for know, my bed calls loud.
