Chapter Ten
Chloe hadn't really expected for Firesong to have an answer for her. After all, no one else had a clue what was going on, why should he? So Chloe was rather surprised when Firesong showed up at the stables, looking like a cat who hijacked the dairy truck.
"Good day ladies." Firesong greeted Chloe and Wren. Wren said hello, softly but audibly.
:: What up? :: Chloe asked cheerily. Firesong didn't answer directly.
"Wren, Silverfox will be teaching your lesson today." Firesong said smoothly. Yep, nothing suspicious going on here. "He's waiting for you at the ekele." Wren looked confused, but (thankfully) not upset. She carefully put away the curry comb and disappeared down along the trail.
:: So. What's really up? :: Chloe asked.
"I may have an answer for you. It is not a complete answer, but it is about as close as I can get."
:: Yes? :: Chloe prompted. He was such a drama queen.
"It seems that something like a Gate pulled you from your home into the Grove. Who did this is still a mystery to me, but I believe why is self-evident."
:: Maybe to you. Care to explain it to the rest of the class? ::
"Wren." Firesong said simply. "She needed someone to keep her stable long enough to get control of her Gifts and you were uniquely suited for the task."
:: Crazy. ::
"Brilliant." Firesong corrected. Chloe considered all this. It was nice to know, but it didn't get her any closer to home. Or did it?
:: So I guess the next step is to track down whoever brought me here and tell them I wanna go home. ::
"It won't be so simple." Firesong cautioned. "To my knowledge, the only beings with the ability to do such a thing would be the gods."
:: Hey Gods, I'm done here. Can you send me home? :: Chloe said sarcastically. A sudden wind blew through the stables. Firesong stepped back, rather alarmed.
:: Oops. Tell Wren… :: Chloe was unable to finish the thought before a blinding flash of light took her back home to Kansas. Texas. Whatever.
