Nina was deep in thought and didn't hear Vanelee's question. 'Hmmm, it's time to prepare...alone,' Nina thought, looking back over her shoulder at the winged creature above the treeline.
Vanelee heard Nina's voice in his head, 'I will find you at dawn,' a friendly giggle and then she was gone. Vanelee turned and called to her. Dreggan and Matt looked around in wonder. The girl-child had simply disappeared into thin air. A broad grin spread across Vanelee's face. 'A mage,' he thought, 'that's handy.'
Nina opened her eyes to find herself standing in a dark, stuffy room. "Anca," she called softly and the bright-eyed wolf stood at her side, "I have found him," she whispered into the animal's attentive ear. She grasped her staff firmly in one hand and stroked the beast with the other. She sat deep in thought as the day faded into night.
