East 5

It rained all night long, with the wind howling at the cottage, threaten to bowl the whole place over and topple the world she carefully was beginning to know. Kaylee tossed and turned in her bed and did not seem...

East 4

Kaylee paced and attempted to get comfortable in her home. But the wind and the nagging doubt seeded in her by Bobcat would not let her feel secure. She turned the Sphene over in her hand and looked at it...

East 3

On the third day, Kaylee woke up earlier. No sun met her rising. Instead she awoke to the howling snarl of a blustery windstorm smashing up against her cottage. It was loud and she wondered whether or not it was...

East 2

The air was cool and warm when she stepped outside. The sun was out and Kaylee shielded her eyes, eager to find its location from high up in the clouds. She could not determine which way was North by herself....

East 1

She slumped against the heavy wooden door. It felt cold on her back and Kaylee could feel the tears welling up stronger and stronger in her eyes. They too made her eyes and face feel cool and wet. "Damnit," she...

South 2

Daniel and Serena stood at the edge of the veil for another five minutes just to make certain that nothing had gone wrong. Of course, there was no real knowing if in fact something had gone wrong even if they...

They spent the afternoon gathering not only Kaylee's car but important supplies from the grocery and trade store in the small town. The grocer looked at Kaylee as if she was staring at a ghost of her ancestors but smiled...

Daniel put on his best and widest smile and entered the room after a few more minutes of chit chatting from the two woman, "Sorry to interrupt miasoa, but theh stew is ready and I wanted you to be able...

North 4

She entered the room upon hearing the voice of her gran. Kaylee could hear her heart beating in her ears and she hoped that no one else could hear it, especially her gran. She quickly looked around the room. Pelts...

North 3

It took Kaylee three days to work out a week's worth of shift changes so that she could take a week off. Still unsure of what was going on, she wanted to be prepared for the worst. Her boss was...

Kaylee shrugged and turned to look at Michael. That was a particular question she was not yet ready to answer, not yet. Most people thought it very, very cool to have been born with heritage and from a proud nation...
