This chapter dedicated to Kheldarson, for helping me get the plot of the
story sorted out, and Smelabel, for reviewing and motivating me to keep
writing! (
*flashback* (AN: sorry, sorry, I'll try to stop doing them, but they are kinda needed)
Will and Lyra walked away from the two women to savour their last precious moments together, leaving Mary and Serefina to get better acquainted. As the four of them stood, talking quietly to each other, each absorbed in the fact that soon they would be parting ways forever. None of them noticed the slight change in the shadows in the background, the two figures blending almost perfectly into the trees.
"Must they do this, Lady Gabrielle?"
"Be quiet, Michael. We do not want them to notice us, remember? It is necessary for this to happen, yes. Indeed, it MUST happen if the events are to take place in the correct way."
There was no response, merely a sullen silence
The taller shadow's voice softened slightly "Compassion is not a bad trait, Michael, just remember that we should not let it get in the way of our purpose"
Michael smiled up at her, though this action was lost in the dark of the night. "I understand now, milady"
Both figures continued to watch as the four friends parted for (A/N: what they thought was *winks discreetly ^_~) the last time.
"It is done. Now we may proceed with the next course of action."
"Yes, milady."
And neither Will nor Mary noticed them depart...
*end flashback*
A/N: don't you just hate me for all these cliffhangers and unexplained characters :P Next chappie up almost immediately. I know this was short, but short and sweet, eh? ^_^
And remember....
