That's right. There is a round three of Cheese even though the others aren't finished yet. This time there's a new author...Stephanie, or Silk, or Silk-a-Silk, whichever you prefer.
Chapter 1 – A Path Through the Woods
Stephanie idly daydreamed as she walked through the small wooded area behind South Fayette High School. Adrienne and Jill were walking in front of her, arguing. Stephanie had long since stopped paying attention. Andy was there, too, gazing around silently, also not bothering to follow the girls' debate. The four of them had all stayed after school for various activities and decided that they didn't feel like going home yet.
At this time, the subject of Stephanie's pondering was Perrin. Usually it was Silk, but they were in the forest. And that was the setting in which Perrin was most in control, sort of. She became slightly irritated when her thoughts were momentarily disturbed.
"Right, Silk-a-Silk?" Jill demanded.
"Mmhm," she agreed absently. She settled back into her mind only to be interrupted again, this time by Andy.
"What's that?" he asked pointing.
All of the girls stopped what they were doing to see what it was. The object of Andy's interest was a pave stoned circle depressed into the earth. A strange column with weird symbols on it stood in the center. Stephanie shot Jill a sly look. Jill returned it.
The two of them persuaded a very nervous Adrienne and an equally confused Andy into the circle. Without a word, Jill examined the pillar and hieroglyphs. After a moment, she knelt touching the carving of her choice with her eyes shut in concentration. For a short time, nothing happened. Then as Adrienne opened her mouth to voice a complaint images began to flicker in front of Stephanie's eyes, and everyone else's, she knew. But Adrienne didn't. She laughed to herself and Adrienne's ignorance. The flashes continued for what seemed like forever, but it was only a few seconds. There was a wolf standing in the night with its eyes glowing – flicker – a still pool of water, clear and blue with no bottom – flicker – a young man with a falcon on one shoulder and a hawk on the other, both birds female – flicker – an Aiel in a cage – flicker – a Tuatha'an with a sword – flicker – reddish-haired man reaching for a strange sword – flicker – a locked chest, she knew what was inside – flicker – flicker – flicker – flicker. There were even more images that she had never imagined before. As suddenly as it began, it was over.
