Chapter 18: Boys in Training

I left Jimmy to his own devices and went to the bedroom and put on a bathing suit. Heading for the deck outside I grabbed my phone and called Katie. Settling in on a lounger, Katie picks up, "What's up auntie?"

And then I can see the shorelines and then just out about a mile from the shore and the beaches is…
The White Spire… out on the coast… City Island…that’s actually the name of this place the only city that is on an island here and not just bordering the water.
Home of mother’s house…House Petrel.
The keep is all of pale sandstone blocks as in the wall for the city but The White Spire as well…it’s is actually a beacon within a tower an ancient marvel and responsibility called a lighthouse.
The whole city as I’m coming down is both more lovely than I remember with there being the same sort of colors around so much here and stone homes great and small to weather all manner of storms and clay interlocking tiled roofs.
People are pointing, bells are being wrung and men at arms are running out of barracks into the courtyard armed with spears and crossbows and cutlasses.
The bubble breaks and I fall as soon as I try to stand and my legs are too numb.
I yell though. “Fetch Grandfather! Please now!”

*And Now…

Chapter 14: Lauren

Tuesday Afternoon

Freya

I leave Cappie to continue my patrol. He promises not to tell anyone about my unique talents. It's almost mid shift and I need to take my lunch break. I head for Mom's when my phone rings. "Hi Freya, how's your day going?" Lauren says.

Chapter 12: How Small the World Is

FREYA speaks, "There is much for you to know, all is not as you believe it to be." Katie and I look at one another then back to FREYA, the look of bewilderment evident on our faces. She continues, "Your world, your universe is but a single dimension of parallel planes of existence of which there are many. In Asgardian lore there are the nine realms."

Chapter 11: Patrol Duty

I grab my wallet and keys on the way to the garage. Sitting in the patrol car, the seats are very form fitting, like a race car seat shape only for me. Another sign that FREYA has change reality to put me in this life. It's still early and I take time to get familiar with the car's layout.

Chapter 7: Putting the Pieces Together

Tuesday:

I woke up feeling refreshed and invigorated. The sun is just peaking over the trees on the far side of the lake casting long shadows into the bedroom. I look at Katie and get the sense of some difference, but can't place it. I pass it off as a trick of the sunlight striking her face, looking like an angel.

Chapter 6: Connecting to the Past Part 2

Katie and I made our way to the food court and got Panda Express chinese food. We always got chinese food when we were together, it was something the family did together since she and her twin Michael were 3 months old. We made our selections and found a quiet spot to sit so we could talk.

Chapter 4: Where to Start?

I awoke to a glorious sunrise on the lake. I stretched my arms out revelling in the feeling of have no morning pains. Pain was something I had grown used to as an ever constant companion, one I would gladly have buried in a hidden grave, if only.

A wife discovers her husband's hobby and offers to help him experience what it is like to be a woman.

*Before…

We sort of stop and we’re doing this sort of linked up kind of processing about all of the stuff we’ve been talking about and she steps up to the food tables.

“After we eat you and me we’ll take Bhlaze out and we’ll practice.”

“Flying patrol, and isn’t it dangerous out there?”

“Flying patrol and it is dangerous and we have Bhlaze with us so we have a dragon to watch over us.”

“And while we’re gone?”

“We help Kyte out with her family and leave her in charge.”

I smile. “That’s actually a good idea, her cousin Rafe might have a WTF over that and if not at least it’ll be a good thing for her and her men.”
