I was walking in a field, the cool grass crushed softly between my toes, the sun warm on my skin, the smells of spring were in the air and every deep breath I took filled my lungs with the promise of a fresh start and new hope.

Travis urinated again. The tug around his waist grew as another cup or two of fluid moved from his bladder into the make-shift diaper. He thought he'd been sequestered for at least a day before he finally heard something. When the unmistakable sound of hands gripping his head-covering reverberated in his ears he perked.

Sometimes, I thought, It was in my best interest if nothing happened. Rohini, on the other hand, was very optimistic. She even conned me into a bet that Mayuri would accept Shrini a...
Chapter 17 I woke in pain. My head was killing me. To my surprise I could reach my magic, so I healed myself. I slowly opened my eyes and I was lying in Harmon's arms and he was radiating concern, mixed with rage. There was also some type of... field in the air.
