Hey all I hope you don't hate me for the ending but my mother was giving very "subtle" hints that it was time to go to bed. Any way Tamora Pierce's books. Now on with the story.


They walked down the hall and down the stairs when they got down to the main floor they saw the Baron and Lady Alanna in the enteryway with some men dressed in all white. The men looked up just as Susan and Kathleen reached the bottom of the staircase. Alanna also looked up and said,

"Susan these people say they have somthing for you from your father"

Susan was confused how did her dad know where she was let alone get people in an other world to find her and give her a message. Kathleen obviously knew what she was thinking a said "What does her father send?" Suddenly there identity was clear to Susan. They're angels! Wow it looks like God has a message for us. The angels waited as Alanna explained what had happened. George had some servants carry boxes to a large family type, since it was the closest.

"Your father sends a... gift you forgot them when you left also there is a message in the boxes for each of you."

"Each of us he sent something for each of us?"

"Yes Tomy he cares about each of you and doesn't want anything to happen to you."

"Thanks" said Devin

Alanna and George invited them to dinner but politely the angels declined saying they had to get home quickly. Everyone was curious about what was in the packages but dinner was ready so they had to wait.

Dinner was grand there was Chicken as well as other delicious foods. When they all had finished dinner they went to the family room to open the boxes. On the way over Alanna told Tomy and the others that the messengers brought their horses with them. When they reached the room they saw the packages again and wanted to open them more than ever.

"Ok Sue opens yours" said Kathleen; but Susan could tell that Tomy and Devin wanted to open theirs more so she said.

"No Tomy should open his first." Kathleen was about to argue but didn't because it was no use.

Tomy opened his and just looked obviously confused.

"What is it Tomy?" Asked Devin as he walked over to see for him self.

Wow weapons. Wait if he is as crazy as it seems who in his right mind would give him weapons? "Tomy you should show these people what you have there Tomy"

Tomy sighed and took out the weapons in the box. He had received a Sword, Shield, dagger and Halberd (long spear). They each opened the boxes Devin got the same as Tomy except he got a gaive. The girls both got swords, shields, bows and arrows along with a Shukusen (the Yamimani fans) each. The tortalans looked amazed.

Wow not only is she beautiful but she can obviously fight as well.

Man now people will think we can fight when we can't

I should defiantly tell Jon when we get to Corus if not before about these strange people.

"Well now that we know what was in the boxes lets talk. Where are you from?"

Ah man what am I going to say California? Then I have to explain that were from an other world not that they don't know that already... finally she realized there were only two answers and she chose the easier one

"California"

"Where's California? And what Kingdom do you serve?" Alanna assumed that they were knights. She was at least partially right.

Kathleen answered this one "California is in the United States in a different world, and we serve the Kingdom of Heaven. At this there was silence for a while all of the people were in deep thought.

Wow a different world I can't wait to talk to them and find out all about it and the different types of magic.

Great a new world they probably have a strange type of magic as well this is just great an other thing to tell Jon!

May be they are spies for this California

I wonder what Devin is thinking (Tomy thought)

I wonder what Elise is doing she better not be with that boyfriend of hers!

I can't wait to see my friends and fellow knights and show them that there are still beautiful girls that need our help

Why doesn't Susan tell them we don't know how to fight?

I am forgetting something I know I am what am I THE NOTES YOU IDIOT!

"Well I suppose that we should all be getting to bed I know I for one am getting tired. Good night"

There was a chorus of good nights to the Baron he was closely followed by his sons who went up to then Susan Kathleen Devin and Tomy went upstairs to talk and Alanna went to her study to contact King Jonathan.


Well that's the end of this chapter. Next chapter they will get to Corus hopefully I meant to get there in this Chapter but it didn't fit so maybe next chapter. By the way if you have a prediction I would love to read it.
