Chapter 7

J: You mean She is Elora Danan ? The Elora Danan ?

Willow nods. I turn to Kit.

J: Didn’t expect that.

I lay my Hand around her Waist and she leans against me.

J: How you feelin’ ?

K: Good. Don’t worry about me.

J: I always Worry ‘bout you.

She rolls her eyes and gives my Cheek a kiss.

K: Well, you don’t have to. But I know you won’t stop.

J: You’re right ‘bout that.

I look at Elora.

G: So, you’re Elora Danan, huh ?

Elora looks at him.

E: Huh ?

G: I said you’re Elora Danan.

K: Alright, we don’t need to get Carried away. We don’t really know anything for sure.

W: It’s not safe here. Follow me.

We follow him into a Cave. It looks beautiful.

W: This is where we Live.

A girl comes to us.

?: Da ?

W: It’s ok. It’s Elora Danan.

She looks at Elora with big Eyes.

?: It is Elora Danan.

Willow shushes her.

?: You are Elora Danan.

She starts shaking her Hand and Doesn’t stop.

W: This Is my daughter Mims.

E: It’s Really nice to meet you.

Willow pushes her hand down.

Mi: I can’t believe you’re Really .. I can’t … Wait. You don’t Remember me, do you ?

E: Oh, Um… 

Mi: I was the one who found you. Well, me and my brother, Ranon. It was the best thing I’ve ever done.

I look around more, not interested in the Conversation. Kit takes my Hand. I smile at her. She leans towards me.

K: This is a waste of time.

J: Hey, be nice. We want him to Help us.

Jade looks at us.

Ja: You Ok ?

I look at her and at Kit.

Ja: You just look a bit, um, Deranged.

K: Look Aryk is out there somewhere across the Shattered Sea. We don’t know what they’re doing to him or how much time he has. And It’s just .. I’m just really not in the Mood to learn about Nelwyn culture Right now.

I put my Arm around Her.

J: Well, we need his help.

We sit with the Villagers. Looking at Elora who sits on a little stage with a flower crown on her Head.

J: Really ?

Kit plays with my Hand.

K: I still think this is a waste of time.

J: I know. I want to find Aryk too. Y’know.

K: I know.

S: Attention ! Attention !

We look at Silas.

S: Come on guys, bums on seats. The High Aldwin will now Address the Village.

Nelwyn start to clap and Willow is brought in On a palanquin.

J: Are you kidding me ?

I look at Kit who looks just as Disturbed.

K: Bit much huh ? 

J: Ya think ?

Willow gets off and on the Stage. 

W: Thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you. Good Brave People, we Nelwyn have seen our share of the World. We’ve suffered, sacrificed, grieved, toiled and endured. And that's just on the weekend.

No one says anything and Willow turns to Elora.

W: I like to try and loosen ‘em up a bit at the start.

I lean to Kit.

J: Well, that’s not working.

She nods.

W: Anyway, tonight, we rejoice. For that which I believe was lost, has been found. Elora Danan has come home.

The Nelwyn Cheer. I raise my Eyebrows and let out a puff of air.

W: Now some of you, if not most of you are probably wondering what this all means, and looking to me, your High Aldwin for answers. Which I will now Provide.

Elora slides closer to Willow and scrapes her Chair over the Floor loudly.

W: Ready ?

E: I don’t know what you’re about to do, but uh ..

W: I will consult the Bones.

The Nelwyn Ohh at that and I look at Kit.

J: What ? 

She just shakes her head and raises her shoulders. Willow gets something out of his Pocket. It’s really bones. He shakes them in his hands. And then he throws them on the Floor. The nelwyn gasp. 

W: Interesting. Hmm. There is a balance between all things. Light and Shadow. Good and Evil. Sweet and Spicy. When that balance is upset the universe corrects. The Crone’s influence Grows, forcing us into Hiding. And just when we were starting to lose Hope the Child of the Prophecy returns to fulfil her destiny. By Uniting the World against the Enemy in the Great war to come.

The Crowd Applauds. I lay my Hand around Kit’s waist and lay my Head on her shoulder.

?: When ?

W: MY Apprentice Karthy, who I was really sorta counting on for Unconditional support, wants to know when. Soon. Once Elora completes her Training. Now who else is Famished ?

K: Roughly, How long do you think that will take ?

J: Yeah we kinda have a Time limit here. Like 4 months or so for saving Aryk and other stuff.

W: Not long. I should think. Uh …  Couple of weeks, or less, maybe. Depending on how much she already knows. Or rather how naturally the magic flows out of her.

The Crowd again Gasps. I lean to Kit and whisper in her Ear.

J: So this is a waste of time.

She nods. 

W: Which I imagine will be pretty naturally considering, uh .. she’s the one.

A woman in the crowd speaks up.

?: Do the Finger test. She ought to be able to pass that.

The crowd starts chanting Finger Test and Kit does too. I chuckle and pull her arm down. 

J: Love, stop that.

She smiles.

W: Alright, Shhhh.

He holds his hand Up in front of Elora's Face.

W: The power to control the World is in which finger ?

Elora hesitates. Then taps one and the Crowd Groans disappointed. Kit and I look at each other. The Nelwyn get up.

W: It’s Alright It doesn’t mean anything anyway. I got it wrong the First time, Remember.

I take Kit’s hand and we get up. The Nelwyn Hold a feast to celebrate Elora’s Return. We sit at a Table and Eat.

B: So, West huh ? Gnostic Hills, Nockmaar Badlands.

S: Nobody goes through Nockmaar. Go around to the North.

?: Or the South. Dependin’ on where you’re Goin’.

S: True. True. Especially if you wanna go through Manheim or Camryn, definitely go south.

?: Yes.

B: Still gotta go through the Wildwood over the Alkalynes, the Dragon’s Spine all that before you even reach the Eastern Coast of the Shattered Sea. And then who Knows what ? Huh ?

W: It’ll be a long arduous Journey.

B: One you’ve no doubt made before ?

W: Well, no ..

K: So, when can we leave ?

E: What are we Waiting for ?

Willow looks at Elora.

W: You’re not going anywhere. You Remain here and learn the Art.

E: Like hell I will.

W: You don’t understand what’s at stake. You’re Elora Danan, Last Blood of Kymeria…

E: Yeah and I still don’t know what that Means. Two Days ago, I left Tir Asleen for the First time in my Life. I crossed the Barrier and fled Bone Reavers. Now I have this weird clicking in my Jaw. But I did it all and I’d do it again to Save Aryk, not Take Wizard classes from you.

I look at her Impressed. I lean over to Kit.

J: Maybe they are Serious. Have you Noticed the bracelet she’s wearing ?

Kit looks at Elora's arm and then back at me.

E: Sorry. Look, you seem like really lovely people and we’re so grateful for you telling us where he is. But I’m going with them.

She gets up and Leaves.

J: Come.

Me and Kit get up and go to the Horses.

Chapter 20

He walks in front of Graydon.

?: What did you say ?

G: I mean I’d love to. But they’ve got me going up to, you know fire up the Troops. Cause I guess the Spirits have been low since they shortened our Breaks.

?: I gave you an order, supe.

G: Right of course. I was kidding. Lead the way Sir.

He follows the Troll and shortly looks back at us.

J: He's so happy. He’s still alive

B: He’ll be fine. He’s quick on his feet.

J: Like a baby cow.

We keep following Boorman. We take off the Uniforms. We walk over a small bridge, me behind Jade, her hand tightly in mine.

J: I’m doing this for Kit.

B: Is that your Mantra ?

J: It helps me stay calm.

Ja: Whatever you do, don't look down.

J: Didn’t plan on it.

E: Yeah yeah Totally. Except I’m one of those People you tell me not to look or think about something, then I…I have to look and think about it, Okay ?

J: Marvellous, absolutely fantastic. Keep going.

She looks down.

E: You were right. I shouldn't have looked

J: Keep going or I’ll push you down.

Ja: Jane.

We come to a set of Steps. 

B: There is a hole.

Boorman jumps over it then Elora. 

Ja: You next.

I nod.

B: I’ll catch you.

J: You Promise ?

B: Yes.

I jump and land in Boorman's arms. Then comes Jade but the board underneath her breaks. She’s holding on with one hand. I immediately lay down and grab 

Her arm. Me and Elora pull her Up. But the wand falls down.

Ja: Did we just lose Cherlindrea’s wand ?

E: Uh huh.

B: Yikes.

J: I just pulled you up and I wasn’t scared.

E: Willow is gonna Kill me.

B: Yeah he might actually kill you.

Ja: Not helpful, Boorman.

Jade stands up and helps m e off the Floor.

J: Maybe just don’t mention it straight away.

We keep walking. We arrive at a dark cave. 

Ja: What happened here ?

B: Fire.

J: Oh.

He stops walking. Looks at us and walks again.

Ja: Do you actually know where we’re going ?

E: Yeah cause this doesn’t feel right.

B: It is. We’re almost there.

J: Almost where ?

B: Wiggleheim’s Tomb.

I seething with anger.

B: Ok look before you three completely flip out, if I’d taken you to the Crow’s cages we would’ve ended up in one.

J: You’re gonna wish you were in one when I’m done with you.

I take my Axe to hand.

B: I know it doesn’t seem like it right now, but everything I’ve done has been for Kit and Willow. The only way we’re gonna ever find them, save them and get outta this place alive is if I’m wearing the Kymerian Cuirass.

J: YOU SELFISH BASTARD ! YOU’RE ONLY THINKING ABOUT YOURSELF ! YOU DON’T CARE ABOUT ANYONE BUT YOU !

He starts Running 

Ja: Jane don’t.

I run after Him with my Axe in my hand, up in the air ready to strike. Jade wraps her arms around me.

J: Let me kill him ! He doesn't care about us ! We don't need him !

Ja: Jane he is your brother.

J: No he isn't. 

I slip off my Bracelet and throw it in front of him.

He is just the person who found me. Aryk is my Brother. My Best friend. And we need to find him and for that I need Kit.

Jade takes my Weapons. I sit down. I don’t see the hurt look on his face.Elora sits down next to me and Jade tries to find a way out.

Ja: How do you get out of this place ?

E: Oh God. I’m spinnin out.

Ja: No, No.

E: Yeah. And it’s not the first time either. This panicky feeling happens whenever I get close to. I really thought I was Starting to figure it out.

J: What ?

E: Magic.

Ja; Yeah.

E: But it’s like the harder I try to control it, the more I just … I feel like it’s slipping away. And then I’m … I’m spinning. I don’t ..

Ja: No. It’s not you, Okay ?

E: Okay.

J: It’s this place.

E: Yeah. No. Definitely it's me.

Ja: This is your fault.

B: Uh untrue.

I look at Elora.

J: I’m so sorry.

E: Don’t be. You’re worried about Kit. And that is absolutely not wrong. I should've knows he lied.

J: It’s all he ever does.

B: Maybe let’s all agree that we’re somewhat culpable for something and maybe just try and concentrate on finding the secret door, Yeah? Which should be here somewhere.

J: No.

It starts rumbling again.

Ja: I think there’s another Tunnel back there that we didn’t try.

E: It’s worth a shot.

She pulls me off the floor. We start walking that way.

B: Wait just … please. Wait. I can do this.

J: No you can't, we're just wasting our Time here.

B: I can save everyone. I can fix it. I can fix it.

Ja: Fix what ?

B: Biggest mistake of my life. If I’d just …

?: Boorman.

Chapter 11

We start walking through the Forest. When we see the others with Ballentine, Weapons Drawn. I start running. 

B: Hold on. Someone just concisely recap everything we missed.

Nobody answers.

J: No ? Okay, we’ll have a go. Ballentine’s lost his mind.

B: And he’s trying to kidnap Elora on that Horse.

Ba: Stay out of this Boorman, you too Jane.

Boorman shoulders his sword. I lift my Axe.

B: We can’t.

K: Back in your Scabbards, boys.

Ba: I have to Take her.

K: Oh, I want you to. I really do. But maybe we should discuss this first.

W: He doesn’t serve Tir Asleen anymore. Do you commander ?

I lower my axe but stay on guard.

S: I don’t give a mule’s soft wispy bits who he Serves. She’s with us and he’s outnumbered Six to one.

G: I don’t know how much I can contribute here, Silas.

J: Five and a half to One. Happy now ?

Ba: Who said I’m alone.

He lowers his helmet. Boorman pushes me behind him and Fights of Merrick. I go and Help Kit. Keene knocks her onto the Floor. I quickly Push him back and try attacking him. But if it wasn’t for a smoke Bomb I would have been Dead and if it wasn’t for Jade Kit would’ve been dead too.

G: Elora !

I help Kit up and look her Up and Down.

K: I’m fine.

G: They got her.

We quickly pack everything up and off we are.

W: If we catch them by Sundown we can get her back. Ride on Ahead.

We nod. I look at Boorman. He nods. Me and Jade get the Horse tracks. Kit and Boorman catch up with us. When we see a Big cloud gathering we stop and wait for the Others. We hear a Woman's voice.

J: Graydon can you translate ?

He nods.

G: The stars align, the Door is open. The sphere Turns, a God is awoken. Extinguish the flame, snuff out the Light and exile the Child to the Thirteenth Night.

W: Ah, so you speak cursed Pnakotic ?

G: They’re gonna kill her. Aren’t they ?

W: No if they Killed her, her spirit would endure, be Reborn. But if they Banish her, they can Imprison her soul for all Eternity. It’s what Bavmorda was trying to do when I stopped her. The Crone Knows we’re following.

I grab Kit’s hand. She lightly squeezes it.

B: And what exactly is in there ?

W: A noxious twilight veil. A swirling vortex of Rage and Madness there’s no escape from. Come on there’s not a moment to lose.

We quickly keep Riding on. But of course, a Wheel of the Carriage breaks.

J: Are you shitting me ? Now ?!

B: I think it’s Broken.

J: Oh Really ? Didn’t notice that ! How’d you guess that Wonder pants?!

He looks at me annoyed.

S: I can Mend it. Then you guys just lift up the Wagon and I’ll slip it back on.

Graydon lets out a nervous laugh.

B: Seriously ?

I look up at the sky. I’m scared to death of thunder.

B: You can’t just, uh, levitate it or Something ?

W: No … No.

B: Ok … Ok. It’s really good having a sorcerer on this Quest.

J: Ok can we just speed this up Please ?

Kit looks at me.

K: We should ride ahead.

W: If we let her, the Crone will use this Storm to Separate and weaken us. We have to stay together.

Kit walks to the Wagon. 

K: I’m gonna go get water.

J: Definitely not alone.

I get up and walk to her. She takes my hand and I take a deep breath.

K: You ok ?

J: No but I’ll live through it.

We go to the river. I hear footsteps. It’s Jade.

Ja: Whatever it is, just say it.

K: We’re not gonna catch up to them.

J: And even if we do what happens then ?

K: They’re turning into … Monsters.

J: Look, we’re Sorry but if there’s a chance that we have to kill them, we …

K: We can’t hesitate.

Jade looks as us Offended.

Ja: I didn’t hesitate. I was trying to save you.

K: I don’t need saving Jade. I don’t need it from you or from Jane. I can take care of myself, Okay?

Ja: No, you can’t Kit. You can’t.

K: Every time we spar, I beat you. Both of you.

Ja: I ...

Jade sighs. I slowly shake my head. Not now. Not here. But she ignores me.

K: What ?

Confused Kit looks between us.

K: You’re saying … You let me win.

Ashamed I look to the Floor.

K: Why would you do that ?

Ja: Because, Kit, Your Mother …

K: She ordered you to be my Friend.

J: No.

Ja: She just asked us to train with you.

J: But only in the Beginning. Then we did it cause we liked it.

Ja: We never thought that you would be fighting for your Life.

K: That's why you're so fixated on protecting me ?

She looks at me.

J: No. Kit. You have to understand …

She walks past us.

J: Kit.

A thunderclaps and I flinch. A tear running down my Face.

Ja. Kit wait.

K: No, it’s okay. I … I’m just glad you told me. 

She walks past us. Another Thunderclaps and again I flinch.

J: This could not have gone worse ? Could it ?

Tears run down my Face. Jade takes my arm.

Ja: You ok ?

J: No. Kit probably hates us and it’s thundering. I feel like dying.

We walk towards the Wagon. Halfway there Moon comes to me.

J: It’s ok Mooney.

He kneels in front of me, and I get up. Jade takes the lead and walks to the Wagon. When we arrive, Moon stops by the Wagon. I lay my Forehead against his neck. The others saddle up. Boorman looks at me.

B: Still ?

I nod.

J: Never went away.

We keep riding until there is a split road. We stop. I again lay my head against Moon. My nerves are on the edge.

B: Yep, it’s definitely left. No doubt about it.

S: Left ? Left will take us through Pitiless pass. I don’t think the wagon will make it.

B: Course it will. That’s fine craftsmanship. And Pitiless pass, I mean, while I’ll admit is an unfortunate name it’s actually a perfectly lovely nice pass. Which goes by, might I add a cosy little inn called The slaughtered Lamb. Kind of a Home for me and my old Partner. It’s got everything you could want, you know, in an inn.

S: No, what about the other way ? Through Capella Pastures into Voluptuous Vale.

G: I mean that does sound Nicer.

B: Yeah, It also takes longer.

S: No, it doesn’t 

B: Does too.

S: No, it doesn’t

B: It does too !

S: No, it doesn’t. I will cut you.

W: Hey. In case you hadn’t noticed a Portal between dimensions is opening and when they reach it, Elora will be lost.

Suddenly Willow screams.

Ja: What ? What’s wrong ?

W: I’m fine 

S: You okay ? He’s fine.

We all look at them.

B: We spilt up. Cover more Ground. You guys take the safe long route and I’ll head up to the slaughtered Lamb. See if I can find the Help we really need.

Kit looks at Jade.

K: Alright. You, Jane and Graydon go with them through Capella Pastures. I’ll go with Boorman through the pass. Then we’ll met up at that Vale of Boobs or whatever.

I look at her.

J: Yeah, there’s no way in hell. I will come with you. I know you can’t stand me right now but I won’t. That Clear ?

K: I can take care of myself.

J: Yes, I know. 

I start Riding. Boorman behind me. I look back to see Kit also riding after us.

Chapter 16

Apparently Jade is Scorpia’s sister. They start preparing a Feast. I look around, it's crazy. We get different clothes too.

I walk with Kit. Around us Bone reavers are Dancing.

J: That’s different. No stupid gowns. We can be us.

She smiles and grabs my Hand. We go and Stand by a Tree. when Boorman steps next to us.

B: You were ok with me getting Killed ?

J: Oh, please. The look on her face told me she wouldn’t Kill you. Maybe hurt you but kill you ? Nah. You have some sort of backstory.

B: I told you, everything would be all right. I have a plan.

S: Slaves of Galladoorn, conscripts of Nockmaar, outlaws of the Wildwood.

They start Cheering.

S: All we have ever wanted is our Freedom. That our Children would not live in Fear. They’d serve no master, Daikini or Troll or Crone. We have no Barrier to hide behind, no Army to defend us. All we have is the fear that our masks evoke, the determination to survive and Each other.

She grabs Jade's hand. I smile.

S: Today after Two hundred Moons, my sister has come Home.

They cheer for her.

S: She grew up in Tir Asleen, was fed lies about us and about herself.

Ok that makes me kinda sad

S: But tonight she is reborn bathed in the Love of her Family and the Values that we still fight for. Freedom, rebellion, passion, and Joy. To the break of Dawn !

They cheer. Then they give around Bowls with something inside. I look at Scorpia who nods.

K: What is it ?

B: I don’t know. Delicious-looking Fruit. Live a little.

He eats his and walks off. I look at Kit shrug and we both eat ours. It really tastes Weird.

J: That’s interesting.

We both laugh. The bone reavers start dancing. I start a drinking battle with one of the Bone reavers and when he falls off his Chair I win. The others cheer and Kit hugs me from behind. When I see Graydon without a beard I start Laughing.

J: Hey Baby face looking good.

He looks away Embarrassed. Me and Kit start dancing. My hand on her Waist, hers around my Neck. I see Jade on the side and pull Kit with me to her.

J: Hey.

K: How you feeling ?

Ja: Weird, but good. What about you ?

J: Also, weird.

Ja: That's Truth plums for you, I guess.

K: Those are what Plums ?

Ja: The truth plums.

J: Those fruits that were given to us ?

Ja: Once you eat them, it’s Impossible to be anything but totally honest.

K: Oh, right. We didn’t know that.

J: Guess now we do.

We nod.

K: So now you’re a …

Ja: Yeah. I guess. Still can’t quite believe it.

We chuckle.

Ja: Why did Sorsha lie to me ?

K: Maybe she thought she was protecting you.

Ja: Did you know ?

J,K: No.

K: But I suspected.

Ja: And you didn’t tell me.

J: Or me ?

K: Well, what was I supposed to say ? That I have a funny feeling that you might, in fact, be the very thing you vowed to destroy ? At best you would’ve thought I was Crazy and at worst it would’ve broken your heart.

Ja: Well, you’re certainly the expert on breaking hearts.

She walks off.

K: Jade, wait.

J: Why didn’t you tell me ?

K: You would have sentenced me Mad. 

J: You’re right. I’ll be right back ok ?

She nods. 

K: I need to think anyway.

J: Come to me when you’re finished Ok ?

She nods. I give her a kiss and walk after Jade.

J: Jade.

Ja: Don’t ..

J: I won’t protect her about that. She hurt your feelings. 

Ja: Did you think that too ?

J: No. I knew you were Different yes. But … That no. I’m happy for you.

She hugs me.

J: She’ll apologise.

Ja: Hopefully not now.

J: Nah. She lets you be angry for a time. She’ll come around.

She nods.

J: Wanna be alone ?

Ja: Yep.

I nod and go sit down. Someone sits down next to me. Toth.

J: Hi.

He hands me a beer.

T: You’re a feisty one.

I chuckle and take a sip. 

J: Nah I’m just protecting what's mine.

T: ‘S the princess your Wife ?

J: Not yet.

T: What are you waiting for ? She’s already Pregnant.

J: I dunno. The Right moment. ‘S not like we have many options out here.

T: You are here. And we throw mad Parties.

I look at him.

J: You would …

S: We have a Officiant.

I flinch and look at Scorpia.

J: Uh … I would in a Second but not Today. Todays about Jade.

She smiles. 

S: You’re good friends.

J: It’s also not up to me.

I take a look around for Kit. Who is currently talking to Jade. I smile.

T: What are you waiting for ?

S: Ask her. The worst thing she can do is say No. But considering how you look at each other.

I look in my Cup. Drain the rest and get up.

J: Ok I can do that. 

 I start walking then turn around.

J: Nope. 

Toth puts a hand on my shoulder.

T: Do it Kiddo or I will carry you to her.

 I start walking again. Kit and Jade look at me.

J: Hi. You good again ?

Jade nods.

J: Good. 

I turn to Kit.

J: Can we talk ?

She nods.

J: Alone.

Jade gets the message and leaves.

K: Is something wrong ?

J: No. God no. Uh … wow that is harder than I thought …

K: Jane ?

She lays a hand on my shoulder.

J: Will you Marry me ?

She looks at me confused.

K: Uh … you already asked me that ?

J: I mean tomorrow ? Like officially. Here.

She raises her eyebrows.

J: It’s Ok if you say No. I mean we’re in a Hurry and it’s not the best Timing and …

She kisses me. Then she leans her forehead against mine.

K: Yes.

I look at her.

J: Really ?

K: Yes Really.

I kiss her again. After a few hours. In which we danced, ate and had fun. The first retreat to their tents. Kit Yawns. 

B: Tired already ?

She nods.

S: I’ll show you your Tent.

We stand up and follow her.

S: This one’s yours. Sleep well.

J: You too.

Chapter 14

He opens it and flips through the Pages.

W: Here, The purgation of Namshub.

B: Hey, that's my favourite Purgation.

W: It’s a Ritual of Throwing, of casting out. But it’s complicated and Dangerous and I’m not yet back to my full strength. 

He looks at Elora.

E: I couldn’t even say the seed spell. No. Ok. What do you want me to do ?

W: Call it an introduction to alchemy. We’re gonna make a salve.

He begins collecting everything.

W: Very potent. A precise mixture of herbs, tonics, and tinctures. Applied at the Proper time while the purgation is read aloud and his fluids drained.

E: What kind of Fluids are we draining ?

W: Blood, Puss, discharge from …

E: On second thought, surprise me.

W: Go to the Armory, fetch me a dagger with an Ivory handle and selenium blade.

We prepare everything. I take a look into the Book. Familiar Runes cross my eyes. I close my eyes and take a breath. Great the Witch in the Woods conjures Evil Magic.

W: The crone knows we’re here. She’ll send her Gales to ensure the Ritual is Completed. We’ll need to keep watch.

Ja: I can do that.

I nod.

W: We can’t allow Graydon’s infection to pass to any of us. If it does, we won’t get out of here Alive.

My eyes widen and I take a side glance at Kit.

J: How contagious are we Talking ? Like if he coughs on us ? Or if we touch him and then … 

W: The vismiscus goo. Don’t sniff it, don’t wipe it, don’t eat it.

I nod.

E: Why would we eat it ?

Boorman turns to go.

W: Wait. There’s one thing that is even more Important than that. No matter what, stay out of the High Tower. It’s maybe, probably a portal to the netherworld.

B: Ok don’t touch the evil goo stay out of the High Tower.

J: We’ll keep that in mind.

B: I just gotta say I’m feelin’ very energised and Optimistic about this exorcism.

J: Can you ever, maybe even once, just keep your Mouth shut ?

B: Nope.

He walks off. I nod and walk off. I hear footsteps behind me.

J: I don’t want to talk.

K: I don’t care, we will.

J: No why would I ?

K: I’m sorry. I don’t hate you. I was just Angry.

J: Yeah, you always say that. 

I stop walking.

J: But yet in the next 24 hours we will fight again and you will Ignore me. Ever since Twinkle Toes appeared everything is different. … I can’t do this anymore.

I look at her. She has tears in her Eyes.

K: Don’t say that.

I shake my head.

J: Why ? I’m telling you the Truth, or should I keep it a secret ? One that inevitably comes out and then We fight again. My Heart can’t take this anymore, Kit. I’m sorry but … 

K: No please …

I shake my head and walk away. With Tears streaming down my Face I wander through the Halls. The Tears don’t stop falling. We’ve been Together for the last 6 years. Is this really how this ends ?  Sobbing, I sit down against a wall. I lay my Head on my Legs. In 6 years It has never been like that. Never. Is this Journey showing that this relationship shouldn’t be ? I throw my Axe against the Wall. I don’t want to believe that. I can’t live without her. I don’t know how long I’ve sat here when I hear a Scream. Kit. She’s screaming for me. I jump up Grab my Axe and run from where I heard the Voice. I end up in front of a closed door. She’s Crying. I try to open the Door. It doesn’t budge.

J: KIT !?

K: Jane ! HELP !

I start smashing the Door with my Axe. When suddenly it is Quiet. Too Quiet

J: No. No. NO ! NO!

When the door is finally Open, she lays there Bloody. With wide open, dead eyes. She’s holding something. When I see what I scream. It’s the Baby. Quiet like the Night. Too small. Too fragile. I fall to my Knees. Screaming Sobbing. I press Kit against my Chest and rock her.

J: Please no. My Love. I need you.

Everything hurts. My body feels like it’s on fire and my Heart feels like it’s been Ripped out of my chest. I’m nothing without her. An empty shell with no Purpose in Live. She’s my everything. My Sun. The reason I wake up every day. She died alone in pain just because I left. It's all my fault. She died Thinking I don’t want us anymore. That I don’t love her. My voice is completely gone, the only thing you can hear are quiet attempted screams. 

J: I’m so sorry that I wasn’t there for you. I love you so much.

I close her eyes and give her a last kiss. I sit there and Rock our Bodies. No tears are falling anymore, not one is left. Everything is a blur. I don’t know how to Live without her. I don’t want to. What is the Point of living without her ? I have no one left. I’m alone. Nothing keeps me in this World. I push the hair out of her Face and give her a last kiss. Catatonic I walk through the Halls of the Castle. I look out of one of the big windows. It’s Raining. I sit down on the Windowsill. My Legs dangling in the air. All of me gets wet. I play with my Ring and Close my eyes. I put my Feet against the wall about to push me off when a pair of arms wrap around me and pull me back inside. I didn’t even notice that it stopped Raining.

J: NO LET ME GO !

I don’t know where the tears are coming from, but they flow.

J: Let me go.

B: What are you doing ?!

He hugs me. I sob in his chest. I can’t speak. Indistinguishable words leave my Mouth. He picks me up.

B: I got you little one. ‘M not letting you go.

I shake my head.

J: Kit …

B: She’s ok.

J: No … she … 

Sobs wreck my Body. He Carries me down a set of Stairs.

B: I found her in one of the Towers, she was …

K: Jane !

As I hear her Voice, I snap my Head up. I push against Boorman’s chest and fall to the Floor. I try to scramble up but trip and land back on the floor. She hugs me. I feel her body. She's warm and Alive. Crying, I hold her face.

J: My Love ? You’re Alive ?

She nods. Tears in her eyes.

K: Whatever you saw it was this place. It wasn't true.

I hug her Tighter. And cry in her neck

J: I’m sorry. I love you so much. I can’t lose you ever.

She nods. I look at her.

K: I love you too.

She gives me a kiss. We get up. I wipe my Tears away. I look at Graydon.

J: You cool ?

He nods.

G: Finally.

J: Good.

Moon comes to me and lays his head on my Shoulder. I lay my Hands on his neck.

J: Oh, my Good boy. Still here ?

We pack our stuff and leave that cursed palace. I look at Moon.

J: Go Home, Be safe.

Moon looks at me. I lay my Head against his. 

J: Just go Home. I’ll be back.

He Trots of. A tear in my eye.

J: He’s safer at Home.

K: I know.

I hold Kit’s hand in a Tight Grip.

B: You know I’m gonna miss this Place.

J: I will not.

K: What is the Blood of the Six ?

W: In the beginning in the Grove six Fays betrayed their Mothers to serve the Dark power. That Line continued through the ages strong magic but Corrupt. The Blood of the Six.

K: So Bavmorda, she was the Blood of the Six. Which means so am I and my Baby and Aryk.

W: Mmm. We have to reach the Immemorial City before she corrupts him.

K: Yeah that’s on the far side of the World. Is that even Possible ?

W: She saved Graydon. Anything's Possible. We’re finally making Progress. You may make a sorceress yet.

Chapter 17

WARNING !!! Smut under the Cut !!! Minors DIN !

We retreat into the Tent. Our bags on the Floor. I sit down on the Mat and take off my Shoes. Kit looks at me for a second then sits down in my Lap. My hands instantly settle on her Hips. She looks down at me and kisses me. She starts fumbling with my Belt. I lean my Forehead against hers.

J: And what do you think you’re doing, Love ?

K: I need you.

I chuckle.

J: Really ?

K: We haven’t done anything in forever.

J: Three months are forever ?

She looks at me.

K: Yes.

She smashes her lips back against mine. I turn us around, so she lays under me. She props herself up on her elbows and looks at me. I smile at her and start opening her shirt. I kiss down her Jaw to her neck and plant a few Hickeys there. She moans and buries her Hands in my Hair. I pull away and take off her shirt. I kiss down her chest to her round belly. Which I nuzzle with my Nose and give it another kiss. I look up at her and embarrassed she looks away.

J: You look beautiful my Love.

She looks at me and kicks off her shoes. I gently pull down her Pants and underwear. I start kissing up her thighs. I prop them up and kiss the inside of her thighs. Closer and closer to her Core but not there. She whines and pulls on my Hair. I lean back over her.

J: Something wrong … Princess ?

K: Do something.

J: But I am.

She rolls her eyes. I take her jaw in one hand.

J: Did you just roll your eyes on me ?

K: … No ?

J: Oh, but I think you did.

K: I’m Sorry Darlin’ , but I need you.

J: You already have me

K: Urg, you’re gonna make me say it aren’t you ?

I Smirk.

J: I don’t know what you’re talking about, my Love.

I sit up on my Knees and look down on her. She looks Magnificent. She sits up and takes off my shirt. Then she leans her Chin on my Lower neck and looks up at me.

K: Please. Just touch me.

I lift her Face up and kiss her. I gently Push her back down and kiss her chest. I start kissing and licking her breasts while my Right hand wanders lower and run through her Wet folds. Kit moans and Buries her Hands in my Hair.

J: So wet already my Love ?

K: Only for you. 

I smirk her breast in my Mouth and start sucking. She hisses and Moans. I start moving my Fingers in her. I watch as she throws her head back.

J: That feel Good ?

She nods. I stop and she whines. I take her chin and make her look at me.

J: I asked you a Question Love.

K: Yes. Yes it feels good.

J: Good girl.

I  start Moving my fingers again. But pull them out a few seconds later. She whines again and opens her mouth to complain. I move my Fingers in front of her mouth and Tilt my Head. She takes them in her mouth and sucks them clean. I caress her face and pull my fingers out her mouth. I start kissing down her body and stop in front of her Vulva. I gently blow on it and watch as it twitches and hear Kit let out a gentle gasp. I give her folds a good lick and Kit’s Thighs wrap around my Shoulders in an Instant. I chuckle against her and do it again and again. I start licking her repeatedly and trail my Right hand which was holding her Thigh and start using my Fingers too. I hear her Moan, her Thighs tighten and her Left hand finds my Hair. I hear a soft patting on the mat and lift my Left hand to hold hers. I feel her shivering and pull away concerned. She whines and looks at me. Her face softens when she sees mine. Panting she sits up to caress my Cheek

K: I’m fine, ‘s just a lot.

I smile and dive back in. I hear her back softly hitting the mat. After some minutes her panting gets heavier and her Hand tightens around mine. 

K: ‘M Almost there just … Don’t stop, please.

I Chuckle and don’t even think about stopping. I keep going. Seconds later her breath hitches and her back arches. She’s Cumming. Her tights start shaking. I slow my hands, slowly riding her through her Orgasm. I lean over her. She looks at me out of breath and sweaty. Her hand finds my Cheek as she holds it.

K: I love you.

I smile and kiss her.

J: Love you too.

I pull out my Fingers slowly. A shiver goes over her Body. I chuckle lightly. 

K: Now you.

J: No, my Love you’re tired and …

K: I’m not.

Not a second after she said that she yawns.

K: But what about you ?

J: Later.

I lean to my Bag and pull out a clean rag. I gently wipe her Down. To which she again shivers. I smile. Then I wipe my Mouth and Help her put on her Underwear and a shirt of mine. I put mine back on and Lay down next to her. She gives me a Kiss and lays her head on my chest. I pull the Blanket up.

K: Love you Darlin’.

J: Love you too, My Love.

She closes her eyes and falls asleep. I kiss her forehead a last time before falling asleep too.
