516 Lunch On The Riverside(Part Two) “This all looks...different,” Tidas commented as he sat down in front of the food. “Quite pretty, isn’t it? Ima not familiar wit some of the spices the chef used, but I can already imagine tweakin’ a few of me recipes at home,” Peggy stated jovially. Skye grinned broadly as she sat next to her husband, and said; “And I look forward ta bein’ yer taste-tester.” As the group chuckled, Zazzy told her parents that she was off to find her own…-

515 Lunch On The Riverside(Part One) Genie laughed at his former pupil as she gripped her stomach, and glanced back at the ship. She had always loved to eat, and he was happy to see that the habit hadn’t changed, even after spending so much time in the capital. The way Lucas had worried over her spending time there as a child made him believe that the capital would change her personality for the worse. “I’m glad to see some things don’t change,” he commented with a nostalgic grin. Tidas…

514 Unexpected Complications “Why do we need ta eat first?” Skye asked with suspicion in her voice. Having known Genie since she was a child, Skye could tell when he was trying to be sneaky. He had done it to her many times over the years; wait until she was eating and half-distracted before telling her something unpleasant. It was always either that tactic, or bribery to cushion the initial blow of bad news. Irritated that he was still treating her like a child, Skye spoke curtly; “Ima not…

513 The Beauty Of Sai When Skye stepped onto the deck of the ship, she took in a deep breath of crisp air. It was warm in the sun, but chilly in any shade: just the way she liked it. Tidas, on the other hand; hated flying whenever it was the least bit cold. The higher into the sky one went, the colder the air became. And when he factored in the fact that Skye and Zazzy both loved to go fast.. “Why do I have to go again?” Tidas asked as he followed behind his wife onto the deck. The…

512 Ima The Catalyst, Remember? The trip was slow-moving for the first week. Rain showers came almost daily, and the only time the sun was out was in the morning hours. The ship hadn’t stopped the entire time, but now they had to dock at the last town before they entered Sai territory. It had been a small and simple fishing village before, but had recently expanded into a town. The soil along the banks was rich and excellent for planting, so farmers had set up homes, expanding outward from the…

511 Treachery Afoot Already “What is it Skye?” Tidas asked with an uneasy tone. “Tis a sickness most commonly associated with food, but it can make ya sick from water, too. I saw it happen to the farm hands that thought it twas okay ta drink from the same wells as the animals. I didna know it’s name until I read about it a few months ago in the Highlands: tis called salmonella poisoning,” Skye stated as they walked over to a hunched over young girl in the corner of the room. Captain…

510 The First To See ***CONTENT WARNING: LANGUAGE AND SLIGHT GORE*** Skye and Tidas waved goodbye to everyone that they loved until they were mere dots in the distance. Their ship steadily floated down the river at a good pace thanks to it’s modified steam engine. Instead of coal, it used a magic tool, so the only smoke coming out was actually steam. Skye watched as it continuously puffed out of the two massive stacks jutting out of the middle of the ship. She wondered how it worked exactly…

508 Bird Cage ***WARNING: LANGUAGE AND DISTURBING CONTENT*** Nicolas sat in quiet horror as he watched Doctor Stein dissecting a goblin through the tiny bars of the bird cage he had been thrown in. He had done an excellent job making the palace guards and soldiers chase him. There was a good two dozen or so trailing behind him when he’d come across Draco and Sheri. They were walking down the hallway when they’d heard the commotion, and had caught Nicolas shorty thereafter. Sheri was a master…
