The only thing keeping the ship from becoming a coffin for her twenty-five passengers was the girl tied to the bow. The job had been done hastily, the knots creaking dangerously with each wave they crested, and the ropes had rubbed the skin from the girl’s chest and thighs. Her gown had been soaked through her powers only strong enough to keep the ship from capsizing.
The Last Gateway
Kria lay sprawled on the ground where the last portal spit her up, indigo eyes screwed shut in agony. She let a scream escape her throat as her muscles reattached, her bones reconnected, and her skin knit back together. She sat up, gasping from the intense pain. Tingling replaced the screaming of her nerve endings, and she hugged herself tightly. The only comfort she would find here.

“Get up lad!” Joshua stirred from a restless slumber and lifted the corner of the little black notebook he’d bolstered with his crooked nose like an old cruck house. As he did, the relentless midday sun breached in slivers around a loose gunport. It glimmered, twisted and caroused its way through the ropes and cannon and bounded to the back of Joshua's one exposed eye.

Sandan Medina was disappointed he was not chosen to go on the mission. Like any other Air Command warrior, he was eager to explore new worlds. Sandan knew Carrol’s ability to heal through Arda liquid was far superior to ordinary medical aid and sending her on the mission was the sensible thing to do. But who would have thought that a Naradi Famede would be sent on a scouting mission? Then again, with both princes and the princess on assignment a capable Naradi Famede like Glendon Garin was the appropriate choice to accompany them. Still… eh! Sandan was proud to be an Air Command warrior, not a royal guard. There would be plenty of time and opportunity for adventure in the future.

The Stellar Council Confederacy of Planets called an emergency session while the Thuringi Armada still orbited Gali. King Lycasis Phillipi journeyed with a compliment of his Naradi Famede guards on the battleship Seetak to the space station headquarters of the Council. The Armada was in Crown Prince Stuart’s capable hands, and under Warrior Prince Darien’s protection directives. There was no official notice as to the subject of the meeting, but it was fair to reason it would concern the plight of the Thuringi.

The presiding ruler of Gali welcomed the Thuringi with a robust and hearty cheer. It was believed that the Gali counted Thelans among their ancestry, and it certainly seemed so to Stuart. Ebullient and quick, Governor Windom Madig was eager to speak to the Thuringi, and flew out to the Armada to meet them.

One day, the Insa sent out an excited message to the king and in no time, word passed around the rest of the Armada. The bran section among the hydroponic crops matured into a bumper crop and harvest time was at hand. The Freen also announced the sea life proliferated to the point that the excess of protein-rich pantele was ready for netting and consumption. The Thuringi would be self-sufficient again, and the severe rationing and constant servings of friaks would ease. It was the best of news, news that made Lycasis say a deep, heartfelt prayer of thanksgiving on Remembrance Day.

Chapter 4 It was almost exactly as John had imagined a cell. Three sides were plain stone wall and one side was a grill of steel. He had also imagined a small, grated window, but no window was there. John was alone in his cell, in the dark. The guard had taken the solitary torch away with him. Not that John needed it. An owl charm meant he could see perfectly well, even in this poor light.
