As the Rains ominously approach the Visunders make a last desperate dash for safety to their friends in Joth. Their path includes navigating the Cauldron, a fearsome eddy below the fortress of Boldan's Rock. Unfortunately, the low river levels have made the passage even more dangerous and the stress causes unexpected problems.

103 - Maelstrom

Dina, part 9

“Ugh,” I grunt as for the third time in as many mornings, I’m woken by the sound of not just traffic, but pedestrians passing by outside my window. With a sigh, I brush my hair out of my face, drag my tired body out of bed and slink through to the kitchen where — again, for the third time in as many mornings — my flatmate is already awake and eating her breakfast.

“Morning!” Martha says with a giggle between mouthfuls of muesli.

Chapter 7: New Arrivals


Alex had a terminal Cancer diagnosis and thought she would die before she got to be the girl she always was inside. That all changes when she's in the wrong place at the right time and gets transported to another world and into the body of a girl. So what if she's not human, she's alive and a girl. Now if only she had her sister with her to navigate this new world and her new responsibilities. Wait, she's here too? The passage of their souls between worlds may have doomed the Earth to apocalypse, but Alex and Michelle won't be there to see it and they have enough problems on their hands.

 

“I think that was a wise decision, Your Highness,” Patar put in.

At their hostel the Visunders are alert for any trouble in the night and, sure enough, something is tried. Unfortunately, the results include a body which means their departure from Ferenis will be delayed. Eriana becomes more desperate as the Rains approach, wanting to put some distance between the Visund and Denethar before they are forced to find shelter.

Author's note: I am shocked by how long it has taken to produce this chapter. For once it has been a number of different things, all beyond my control. Hopefully (!) I will be able to do better in future.

Chapter 6: Kiss Kiss Bang Bang


Alex had a terminal Cancer diagnosis and thought she would die before she got to be the girl she always was inside. That all changes when she's in the wrong place at the right time and gets transported to another world and into the body of a girl. So what if she's not human, she's alive and a girl.

“The Gods don't interfere in the lives of mortals, Princess,” Patar said, shaking his head.

ROOO RATS

My name is Caspar Ozymandias Duchamp. Please don’t mention that to anybody. I’m known as Cod. I know it’s a bit fishy but I prefer that to my real name. Besides it makes me a big fish in a small pond – I wish. I’m not really that important in school. On the other hand, my high school is not that important. To be honest, it’s on skid row. Nobody cares. The teachers have given up, most of them anyway. The sports teams are in a death spiral with dire results resulting in dire recruitment. For God’s sake they couldn’t even get enough girls to get a full cheerleading squad this year. But who but a cheerleader could care about the Kangville Kangaroo Rats? Just the name is enough to lose interest.

The game is over, and reality will never be the same again.

 

I let out a sigh and rolled my eyes. “What part of magick is real and I am a Demigoddess of Magick aren’t you people getting?

Twilight

It began like a normal day at the dock. As always, I wore my lavender summer dress and one-inch heel sandals. Every day I went out at sunrise and came back exactly at twilight. But this day would be different.

I sighed as I formulated an answer. “I needed to get away for a bit. I am confused and uncertain what to do.”

I nodded agreement, giving a nervous laugh as I replied quietly, “Well, we're in the same boat then. I never thought that I'd be a Princess in her Giftsun Parade.”

Chapter 5: “The Network's Reach”

Defiance in Silence

Indira’s engines hummed, a steady, almost living presence beneath me in the silence of my quarters. My hands, still trembling from the intensity of the data analysis, rested on the cold metal of my toolbox. Its accustomed weight grounded me—an anchor in the rising current of unease that surged through my chest. The low drone of the cooling fan in the corner felt suddenly too loud, beating like a second, more frantic heart against the silence, a frantic drumbeat of impending decision.

That was the title of blog by Penny Lane a couple of weeks ago. I made a comment about that and was more or less challenged by her to put my pen where my mouth is (did I get that wrong?). However, at the time I was too busy being immersed in the Finnish partitive to do something about it …

This is a sequel to ‘A Walk to a New life’ and "See things through a woman’s eyes’, it may help to relate to the characters if you read them first. But it can be enjoyed as a stand-alone if you prefer.

A young boy's life takes a huge change when he is forced to leave his remote island home.

“I thought that you said that the King and Queen meet all the new pairings, though, so it's not a big deal. I'll still get to meet with them, right?” I asked, a bit confused.
