"It's time, Kay," Lii said quietly waking her.

Struggling to wake up, Kay mumbled, "Time? Time for what?" Seeing the packs on the floor, Kay realized what her sister meant. "As you're already dressed, why don't you go put the letter where we decided, while I get dressed?"

"Ok," trailed after Lii as she went into the hallway.

Kay flopped back down before getting up. As she walked to the washstand, Kay took off her nightgown. Washing her hands and face, she turned as pulled her light gray dress on. After doing all buttons she went over to her dressing table and pinned her blond hair up into a bun.

As Kay was finishing that, Lii came back into the room, "Good, you're ready to go."

"Ok, Lii said as she left the room, heading for the throne room. Walking slowly and quietly she tried to make sure no one could see or her her.

Opening the door softly, Lii slipped in the throne room. Walking up to the Sword of the Rivan King, Lii placed the folded letter under the tip of the sword. Making sure she could barely see the letter, Lii hurried back upstairs.

Walking back into their bedroom Lii saw Kay putting her hair up in a bun, "Good, you're ready to go."

Drawing the straps of the packs across their shoulders, the twins walked over th the window. After opening it, they turned to each other and holding hands, blurred and became a sparrow.

While they had inherited the will and the word from their father, it was unique in them, for one reason. When most used the will and the word, it made a noise audible only to others with the same talent. When Kayonee and Lianae used the tablet, if they were touching there was not a sound.

After shifting, the sparrow flew out into the night heading southeast to Sendaria.
