Original X-roads-2003

    “Where are we going to stay?” Zariaha’s soft voice broke the small silence.
    I glanced up at her, terrible thoughts racing through my head… Thoughts of Kilji and Mesiaha, Zariaha, and Cas. I shook my head clear, “We’re not staying on this island.” I glanced at Sertoff, “You know we can’t possibly stay on this island.”
    “You’ll do as your told.” Daemon stood.
    I don’t think they understand…
    “She’s right.” Jabetto jumped in to my defense. “We have too many females to stay here, you know how the Emperor is Sertoff.” he tried to appeal to him.
    “What do you mean?” Zariaha’s innocent eyes questioned him.
    “You don’t wanna know.” Jamie assured her.
    “Ain’t that the truth.” I muttered.
    “Well we’re not getting anywhere sitting here.” Cas pointed out.
    Zariaha stood and glanced at Sertoff, “Shall I transport us to Starcythe?”
    My eyes widened as I glanced her, “How do you know the names of the places when you’ve never been here before?”
    “Jonothan taught me a great deal while I was there.” she explained.
    “I hope he didn’t teach you anything other than spells and geography.” I stood up and looked at her in her skimpy two piece outfit.
    She shook her head with a scared look on her face, like that of a child when he’s being accused of something he didn’t do.
    “Alright then.” Daemon started walking towards the castle.
