Chapter Three

Mary's Daemon

Mary was up early the next day so as to get home earlier and enjoy the rest of the day, she was ready and out of the house by seven, while the rest of Oxford slept on.

Mary enjoyed going to her laboratory, it meant she could be alone and work on the cave.

On her desk beside the computer were some of her things from the past, like the books and sticks of the I Ching, but her most prised positions were in a little box at the side of her desk, the box contained the amber spyglass, the jar of wheel tree oil and the bag of wheel tree seeds. She kept these as reminders of her stay in the other world with the Mulefa. Looking at these all most always made her feel sad, especially when she thought of her close friend Atal and how she would never see them again. But then she would think of all the good she had done and would become much happier.

She sat done at the computer and started working on the programs that allowed her to talk to shadows, as she had done that special night on which she entered another world, she now had almost completed all the programs and, in her own opinion, improved some of them.

As one of the programs was loading she sat back in her chair and looked in that special lazy way, which allows her to see peoples daemons, and Seriffina Pekkila, was right, she barely had to try now to see daemons, and there hers was sitting on the table in front of her. She always wondered why she could not hear her daemon speak or those of others around them…but then for no reason at all she heard a voice say,

"The program is loaded." At that point she jerked up in her seat because she had not heard anyone come in… but… there was no one in the room but her. This puzzled her greatly, but she continued anyway…

On her way home May was stuck behind an accident between two cars and a lorry, and while she sat there she looked around for her daemon and there he was sitting on the dashboard looking out the window, then she heard someone say,

"The traffic is moving." and as she heard it her daemons beak moved! It was him she had heard in the laboratory! So as she started to drive she said to her daemon,

"Why can I only hear you now?"

"Well you could always hear me… you just never listened." And if a bird could smirk that was what he was doing now.

"So a Mary drove home she sat talking to her daemon who's' name she found out was Shaufax.
