Original X-roads-2003

    Daylight was beginning to break as we hit the shore, we jumped off and ran towards the direction of the castle.
    The trumpets began to blare as we reached the inner courtyard. “All Hail Empress Jasylin!!!” There were shouts from every direction.
    “Sheesh,” I muttered, “maybe now we know what Sertoff was doing.”
    Zariaha walked out of the double doors. “I knew you would come.”
    “DUH!” Jamie yelled.
    “Why ya wanna take off like that in tha middle of tha nite and scare everyone half outta their minds? Ya kno…”
    “It’s ok Mesiaha.” I cut her off and approached Zariaha. “What’s going on?”
    “Sertoff is going to sacrifice us to save you.” she looked at the ground.
    “Come on, git real.” Jamie waved his hand down at her. “You really think Jas iz gonna let that heppen?”
    I raised an eyebrow her, “Well?”
    “I have seen it.” she insisted.
    “Just because you see something doesn’t mean it’s going to be that way. Maybe it’s a warning so we can change it. Come on Xiantin knew I was going to get you back in one piece, he wouldn’t have given me permission otherwise.”
    She didn’t seem convinced.
    “Come on, let’s go to Xiantin and ask him.” I set my arm around her.
    “Ya mean it!!!” Mesiahas’ eyes glowed with enthusiasm. “We’re goin bak ta Haven?”
    “Yeah, if Zariaha transports us.” I glanced at her.
