Torn

The first of a trilogy by three different authors, chronicling the problems and a possible resolution when a wife pours out her anguish to her husband.

The story will be continued in:
"A Typical Day" By Chagrined and finished in "Resolution" By Patty Marie

It was a dark and stormy night
...no, no, no that’s no
way to start a story.

WINTER BLUES

The sky is ash
The trees are bare
The silence stark
No life anywhere

WHY DADDY WHY

What made you fear
So you couldn’t be here
Why daddy why daddy why

Missii and Kayla situate the Felines they just hired, introducing them to the previous four Feline hires and the ten human warriors. This gives the house a combat force of 34, plus Missii and Kayla, with the weight heavily on the Feline side.

Chapter 15

Alexandra opens a link to her father's home crossing into her rooms there. It has been much easier upon her since learning and mastering these links, she may now easily go home to bathe and obtain fresh clothing. This allows her access to all her clothing rather than just the small portion which she may keep at the Sister's Conclave. It also reduces the workload at the Conclave since they will not be responsible for cleaning her clothing. The spells she has placed at the closet here will do that while keeping everything fresh and as new looking as possible.

WARNING: PLEASE READ:

I am not sure what good I am doing writing this. Most likely you will assume its just a chain letter or spam and just delete it anyway. But I have to try and warn people anyway. What would you do if this was the last week you had to live?

Well, whether you believe me or not, that’s the case. Now before you assume I have lost it and delete, hear me out. I know what I am talking about. The fact is, its my fault. My name is Roger Martin, and it all started a year ago when a special package arrived at my house.

Chapter 13

The following day of training occurs in the Scearnvale garden as it is raining in Percoin and the Garden there is not enclosed. Additionally, in Scearnvale it is a sunny day. The children continue to practice vision and travel links, with some now able to hold their travel link for as long as fifteen minutes without assistance. Missii and Kayla practice also. It is strange to see the weather from so many different places upon the world. Fourteen simultaneous vision links show rain in some, bright sun in others, with cloudy windy skies in yet more. The advantage of a vision link is that it allows one to prepare for whatever weather is going to be experienced prior to opening a travel link.

Chapter 12

Andrew carries Alice out of the meal hall. Alexandra links to the Percoin garden following the arrival of the SaVannah sisters and everyone quickly crosses, then she drops the link.

WHEELCHAIR

Quietly it sits in a corner, no movement can it make
But when you sit, go outside, the world begins to shake

When you come near, some people, they would balk
As if they had seen some fright, like Carroll’s jabawac

If they knew you, as all who do, and I am no exception
They would take another look, and love upon reflection

Why do some, when they see, someone different than their own self
Stick them into a box, and put them on a shelf

My dear friend, don’t be sad, if someone turns from thee

Chapter 10

Immediately after Missii and Kayla have gone through the link to Scearnvale, Andrew closes the link and thinks back to the armor he purchased from Master Carlaine's. ‘The sisters should do all right. If they purchase everything at once to save money then they will come back and ask for perhaps three hundred or so more.' Nodding his head, he turns his concentration toward the children and the lessons to be achieved today.

Chapter 09

The Sun begins to hesitantly peek from below the horizon, cautiously casting it's gaze upon the land only to discover that two young Feline sisters have dramatically outpaced it, well on their way to fun and adventure in the shopping district of Percoin. They have arrived there even as many of the shops are only just beginning to prepare for a day of enticing passers by to come within to spend their money. The sisters stop here and there to obtain small items of comfort or occasionally a little food to chew, or drink to break their thirst.

Chapter 07

One young boy has used his training link to check on his mother, for with him gone there is no one to do the work with her. He has been worried she may not be well. The link worked satisfactorily, to his mother's surprise and joy at seeing her son working magic. If he completes his training then she will be cared and provided for as long as she continues to live or until she takes another husband. Meanwhile, however, times are difficult.
