Chapter 5
Another Meeting
Later that day Will lay on his bed again, with Kirjava at his feet, thinking threw what had happened in the past few days, his past adventures… but mostly he thought of Lyra. Kirjava walked along the edge of the bed and rubbed her-self against Will's chest to try and comfort him, he looked at her knowing she was feeling the same thing… he stifled a tear, "Do you think in helping Xaphania we might get to see Lyra again?" he said with such longing and hope in his eyes it almost hurt Kirjava to say,
"Will, you know that we can't see her again, anyway Xaphania wouldn't do something like that to us."
"You're probably right…" he let out a long sigh… again he started to cry.

That night as Mary sat in the living room of the small house with Mrs Parry trying to teach her how to see people's daemons. She had already got the hang of the state of mind in which you can talk to dust and had almost fully mastered the entire thing,
"Okay, now, as I told you last time focus so that you are relaxed and your mind is blank. Now at the same time try to see normally." Said Mary as she sat opposite Mrs. Parry
As Mrs. Parry tried she looked up and there on the chair beside her was a kestrel, at this she was very surprised and snapped back into her normal mindset and asked, "Was that my Daemon!" in a very excited tone and almost leaping out of the seat.
" Yes! You got it, now it will be easier to do each time!" Which was the same words Serrifina Pekkila had told her the first she had seen her own daemon.
So as Mrs. Parry sat practising watching her daemon and, obviously, getting her daemon to fly to her hand because she kept raising her arm every couple of minutes.
Mary turned to her daemon, Shaufax, and asked, "Do you think we should tell her how to talk to her daemon?"
"No, let her find out for herself." He said as Mary felt the joy her daemon was feeling.
As she thought that Will walked passed the door and his mother shouted "I can see my Daemon!"
"Really?" he almost shouted as a smile leaped onto his face.
"Yes, watch." At that she half closed her eyes and held out her arm and her daemon flew to her arm, seeing as Will could already see her daemon, he watched as it flew from her hand around the room and back onto her shoulder.
His mother had such a smile on her face, he thought back to before his adventures and of how he had to care for his mother al the time, and now that she was better he could do his own things while his mother cooked or cleaned, though he still helped out a lot.
As Will poured himself a glass of water he seen a glint of light pass the window almost to fast to see, so he went to the door and peered into the garden he could barely see it, but it was definitely there, it was te outline of an angel.
"Well, have you decided if you will take me?" said Xaphania,
"On one condition."
"And what is that?"
"That you tell me who was chasing you."
"O.K., they were followers of Metetron who escaped the battle alive and are trying to get back at Lord Asriels followers, there are witches and angels like this in Lyra's world as-well."
Will thought for a moment and then decided this was believable and agreed to take Xaphania were she wanted to go.
"Can you meet me tomorrow outside the Botanic Gardens?"
"Yes, at what time?"
"One-Thirty, most of you seem to eat lunch at that time, I will see you tomorrow then." At that she turned and left.
