Chapter 41

OOPS. RUMAL FROZE UNSURE OF how to respond. He hadn't meant to insult her. It hadn't occurred to him that she might be sensitive about it.'Maybe you should apologize,' suggested Kerak. 'What does she mean by "whip your ass"? I thought she only carried a sword.'Rumal shrugged, 'I'm not entirely sure.'He could almost see the waves of annoyance pulsing off her. Thinking hard, he made an attempt to lighten the situation. 'Is whipping ass' something you do regularly?'KASSIE BIT HER LIP WHILE she tried not to smile. Okay, maybe she'd overreacted a little, but she wasn't letting up that easily.'Only to idiotic males who suggest I'm vertically challenged. I can squeeze into places you'd never fit in.' Umm, actually that didn't come out quite as intended- Well if I don't point it out he might not notice, she thought.RUMAL ROARED WITH LAUGHTER. 'BUT would I want to?'He watched as Kassie's back quivered. She still didn't turn round though. Might have to try something else, he th

Chapter 42

'ALEK! ARE YOU OKAY?' LOUSHKA thought in concern, having felt him jump in the saddle. 'What happened?''She gave me a dead leg.' Alek, still laughing sent her the image.'Didn't one of your cousins use to do that to you?' Loushka thought, bemused.'Yes,' He gasped for breath after all that laughing.KEEPING A WARY EYE ON Alek I clung to the pommel while he caught his breath. He leaned toward me, looking at me from under dark brows. 'Catherine,' he said teasingly. 'That wasn't a very nice thing to do.'I resisted the urge to stick my tongue out at him. 'Well, I didn't insult your world.'Alek reached out, his hand inching toward my foot while I struggled to tuck it further under me.'It is a little bit funny though, don't you think?' His hand continued to creep closer.I made a swat at it. 'Maybe.' Then swatted again when it crept closer still.Alek paused then cocked his head to the side and tsked at me in a disapproving manner. 'Now I thought that Earth women were supposed

Chapter 43

SIAN FELT A LITTLE OUT of sorts. Loi had beaten her to standing during flight, and now Cat could talk to Loushka. It hardly seemed fair, she thought, letting out a quiet sigh.NESHA HEARD AND CREPT CLOSER to Sian, brushing his beak against her. She seemed happy at the attention, stroking and combing his mane with her fingers.'You should teach her free-falling tomorrow.'Daron, in the midst of unpacking, looked up in surprise. 'What?''Sian. You should teach her free-falling. She needs something special to do that none of the others have done yet.' Nesha explained, 'Why not whisper the idea to her now, she can surprise the others tomorrow.'Daron glanced over at Sian and noticed she looked a little down. Making her smile would make him feel pretty good. He stood and went to sit next to the petite blonde.BEAUTIFUL WEATHER GREETED US THE next morning and we stumbled around, packing up. I looked forward to getting to the castle and not needing to pack and un-pack each day.Kas

Chapter 44

'YOU NEED TO SHIMMY DOWN Nesha's back, then crouch. When you have your balance, leap off with your arms out straight from either side keeping your legs together. Nesha will count to five then go into a dive and swoop under you. You should be able to guide yourself back into the saddle,' Daron explained.Sian nodded, more than a little daunted by the mental image she had of the dive.'HAVE YOU EVER DONE ANYTHING like this before?' Daron asked.'Kind of.' Sian answered, 'On Earth we have something called sky diving, were you jump out of a plane with a parachute.''Get her to explain.' Nesha urged, 'What's a plane? And a parachute?'THAT TOOK AT LEAST TWENTY minutes of detailed explanation, though Sian got the distinct impression it all seemed like fantasy to Nesha and Daron. She grumped to herself; it would be so much easier if I could just show you. Another twinge of envy ran through her. Lucky Cat, she thought, I really hope I can hear Nesha soon.WHAT SIAN EXPLAINED IMPRES

Chapter 45

SABYN STILL HAD HIS ARMS around her waist. Loi felt grateful he couldn't see the massive scowl on her face. Torn between the two, now very annoying, voices in her head that argued as to whether his apparent deceitfulness was fair or not, and if it even mattered.She sighed.'Are you okay?' Sabyn asked his voice hesitant.Loi considered her reply, getting a mild sense of vindication from the long, awkward pause. The rational voice in her mind pointed out that she would find out soon, while the grouchy voice said, not soon enough!'When will we reach the castle?' She was careful to keep her voice neutral.'By this evening.''SHE'S GROUCHY WITH YOU,' TOMIAR informed him.'I'm aware of that,' he snapped.'My, aren't we snippy. Well, Mr Snippy, I thought you might like to know that Loushka and Alek would like to show them the Wrenok basin.'Sabyn sighed. 'I'm sorry. I just don't like knowing she's grouchy at me.''I understand,' Tomiar thought sympathetically. 'But try to see it

'WHAT'S NESHA DOING?' LOI TWISTED to look up at Sabyn. Wow, his eyes are gorgeous, she noticed; a real glacial blue. He started to speak then stopped, staring at something beyond her. Loi turned back just in time to see Sian plummet past them.I FELT THE BREATH WHOOSH out of my chest. Sian, her arms outstretched, had just hurtled past us at an immense speed and, unlike on Earth, without a parachute attached.Oh holy Goddess!Terror flooded my limbs making them heavy and useless while everything appeared red to my eyes.KASSIE WHIMPERED IN HORROR AT the sight of Sian falling to her certain death. She could feel a strange rushing sensation through her limbs and the outer edge of her vision glowed yellow.LOI GASPED, HER BODY TREMBLED in anxiety and shock while an immense feeling grew within, her eyes seeing things in a green light.THE THREE WOMEN GLOWED WITH energy and the effect on the griffons was electric. Tomiar, Loushka and Kerak all screamed in alarm at the energy sw

Chapter 47

THE GRIFFONS LANDED IN SEQUENCE with Loushka foremost. Alek gave me a swift hug then swung his leg over the saddle and slid down. I heard muffled thuds when the other men slid down. I stared wide-eyed across at Sian and Loi on one side, then to Kassie on the other. Turning back, I watched Alek and the others approach the group gathered to greet us. He stopped a few meters from the front of the group, the four men halting behind him. All those in the group waiting bowed deeply. Hmm okay, must bow when introduced, I thought, taking mental notes. Alek spoke briefly to someone then turned and beckoned us.THE WOMEN EXCHANGED ANOTHER GLANCE, then slid down from the griffons. Kassie gave Kerak's leg a squeeze before she left and the griffon made a soothing noise like a purr. Feeling nervous, she headed toward the other three. She saw Audrey waiting for Cat by Loushka's foot and the dog shadowed them while they moved. They strode forward in a line and stopped just behind the men.ALEK T

Chapter 48

ELENA FINALLY STOPPED IN FRONT of a large set of double doors and opened them. 'This is your suite,' she announced and gestured for us to enter.I felt my eyes go wide at the sight of the very large room. Nice!Four double beds were set out, two in each front corner, heads almost touching, one under the window and the other against the wall. Each wide bed was dressed with a thick embroidered coverlet and four large matching pillows plumped at the head. A sigh slipped out of me at the thought of a soft cushy pillow and bed. Two large dressers stood in the middle of the room, back to back, and two armoires stood against the wall beside either door.Elena watched while we looked around the room and then cleared her throat. We turned and she walked over to a door in the far-right wall.'This is your wash room. I do recommend having a bath or shower either early morning, or late evening as there is usually more heated water then.'We squeezed together to peek past her at a propermake t

Chapter 49

SIAN HAD JUST FINISHED TYING a belt around her waist when someone knocked on the door. Cat went to answer it and Sian checked her reflection again. The light blue dress made her blonde hair and blue eyes appear brighter. Pleased, she smiled at the reflection.'WE'RE TO FOLLOW THIS MAN to the Great Hall,' I said when the others came to stand beside me.'For breakfast and then to meet with the Lady Elena,' the page explained. 'And you can bring your dog. I will bring some food for your cat to your room.'Again we passed through a maze of corridors, and I marvelled at the workmanship of the castle, wishing I had time to admire it.We heard voices as we neared the Great Hall and two guards opened the enormous doors for us.ALEK FELT ODDLY NERVOUS AT the thought of seeing Cat and he couldn't understand why. It had only been overnight. Elena had arranged for an extra seat next to each of the men. Having the space beside him made him feel lopsided and every courtier in the room had s

Chapter 50

'WHEN YOU FOUR ARRIVED IN our world,' Elena arched an eyebrow at us. 'You each threw off a massive power surge. Something I haven't seen in quite a while. As you might have noticed, there are people in this world who are gifted. They have special abilities and anyone with these abilities will have sensed your arrival too. Even more so after the incident on the griffons.'Abilities? And what did she mean by power surge? All we'd done was freak out when we thought Sian was in serious danger. I interrupted her. 'Elena, I'm sorry, but I don't think we understand what you're talking about.'The Sorceress looked surprised.'Are you saying we have abilities?''Yes. You must have. To have given off such an energy wave is absolute proof.''But we didn't do anything,' Sian said, looking like the rest of us, very confused.'Yeah, all we did was pass out,' Kassie said. 'That doesn't sound like an impressive gift to me. Passing out when something scary happens.'I agreed, 'Totally useless.'
