Sorry!!!!! I know, I haven't updated in forever, but I have been having a hard time keeping up with school. My mind just wants to wander from my classes, and my grades are dangerously close to failing. sigh Sometimes I wish I was Shandra, but, alas, that is not my destiny.
Enjoy this chapter; I have had quite a while to ponder on it.
Numair took a quick look at the child/plant/pot and started to laugh.
"What?" I ask. What could possibly be so funny?
"Well, I just…I just didn't think that this" he indicated Gajini who was half inside of the bucket. "Was…well…possible. Hold on." He then stroked the plant, and a black fire engrossed his hand. The plant slowly, painfully slowly, started to extract itself off of Gijini. When it was completely off I pulled on Gijini and she fully sat back on me. She was covered with muck from the pot and plant, and smelled like it.
"Well? What is so funny?" I asked again.
"Shandra, Gijini has magic. It's a simple enough concept. Plant Magic is what she has. Lots of it, too. Wow, its like Daine's magic, but with plants, and maybe even stronger than Daine's. I'll have to inform the king." With that he got up and trotted off.
Alanna had been forgotten until this point when she started to laugh. Soon Ravi was chuckling, but he was looking uncertain. I wandered what this would become. First my outbreak, now Gijini. I sighed. It was too much to ponder.
Alanna was in terrible state; her cheeks were turning blue from laughing so hard. When she had a bit of control on herself she said, "I thought that all of you and that baby were cursed! I thought that I would need Numair to help me take out your sorry hides form the palace! I nearly bit off his head when he refused to come; I think I was so mad! And to think, you guys just have magic!" I stopped and froze. Alanna noticed it, but Ravi was the one to say,
"Shandra, what's wrong?" I stood tensely, and said so soft my words were barley audible,
"I have no magic."
Haha. Cliffy. I know I'm not being nice, being away for so long and only giving you a cliffy and a short chapter, but I promise that ill update again in the next 2 days. Tomorrow is Halloween, and the next day is Thursday. I promise ill update by then.
