"Anyone recognise the girl ?" asked Lily
"Which one Lily,there's more than one in here" Theo answered
"The one who just came in. I've never seen her before"
"That,my friends,is something you will find out soon enough" RJ said as he walked over to the table
"Long time no see Daniel" RJ chimed as he walked up to the table
"How long has it been?"
"Far too long"he replied before looking at Cecily "Why don't we talk upstairs"
"Sounds good to me. See you in a sec Cecily" her father said getting up and kissing his wife on the cheek before following RJ
"When I heard you were coming back I thought it would be just you and Cecily,I had no idea you remarried"
"Well it was all so fast and we moved a week ago. We would have come sooner but Cecily is like her mother,stubborn and has a thing for not doing as she's told"
"Typical teenager"RJ mused sitting in his chair
"Enough about teenagers. I assume you know why i'm here."
" Yes. Does Cecily know anything about this?"
"Not yet.I was waiting for the right time to tell her."
"Well she will find out soon enough. Has she got any training at all?"
"Not much since the accident" Daniel said.
CRASH! There was an explosion downstairs and Fran came up covered in flour and sauce
"You know Fran,flour and sauce are for the pizza,and last time I checked you weren't a pizza you were a person"RJ informed her
"There was people running round,then I swear I saw a rat but it may not of been a rat it could have been something else. There 's a girl downstairs and the boys are …"
"Breathe, Fran wait here I need to sort something out with my staff" RJ said getting up and following Fran downstairs.
"Can you guys try keep my pizza shop in one piece. Im trying to arrange things upstairs with a friend"
"Who is your friend?" Theo asked
"See that girl over one you guys were trying to find out about."
"Yeah"
"Well I'm arranging something with her father,and a former master at the academy. Did you ever meet or hear about the horse master?"
"I've heard rumours about a daughter and how he lost his wife and oldest daughter in a terrible accident, Lily told them
"Correctamundo Lily.I have been asked to train her by her father"
"Why can't her father do that? I thought you said he was a master"Casey inquired
"Cause he hasn't been a master since his first wife died in the accident. Before his daughter was able to discover her animal spirit he stopped training her in fear the same would happen to her." RJ replied before going upstairs
"Sorry bout that.I think you should go tell Cecily about what's happening and bring her back here tomorrow after school"
"It was great to see you again RJ."Daniel said as RJ led him back to the front of the shop
"Hey Cecily,where's Millie gone?"
"Dunno,said something about an important thing then said she may see us at home later but I don't really know" Cecily told her dad as she was texting an old friend of hers
"Okay then.I think it's time to go home have a very serious matter to talk about and I will require your full co-operation with this one as it's already been arranged"
