Chapter 28

Lara sat at the large oak desk in General Carrick’s study. They had traveled to Tralee in hopes that Kedryn would arrive soon. She kept herself busy putting everything together that she had learned about the second possible portal.

A log fell in the fire as Aodhan turned in the chair he was sitting and looked into the study at Lara. He shifted in the chair and looked down at Annie who was asleep in his arms. Shanna walked up to him and took Annie out of his arms.

“She is obsessed about going back through the portal.” Aodhan said.

“Wouldn’t you? Have you talked to her about it yet?” Shanna said gently shifting Annie in her arms.

“I have not had the chance.”

“Sooner is better than later.” Shanna said as she turned and headed to the staircase to put Annie to bed.

“I suppose. I was hoping that she would decide to stay here with Kedryn.”

Shanna stopped at the foot of the stairs. “Give her time.”

“Time.” Aodhan said and glanced back to Lara who raised her head and gave him a quick grin. He stood and put another log into the fire.

“Shanna putting Annie to bed?” Lara asked from the study.

Aodhan walked over to her. “Yes. Find anything more?”

“Nothing. Just more gibberish about the castle. I have a feeling in my gut that we are looking in the right place. The Fianna Fail is related to Medb. I’m thinking that the portal leads out at Rath Maeve the fort of Queen Medb in my realm. I just don’t know where to start.”

Aodhan leaned against the desk next to her. He heard the sound of crinkling paper and stood up.

“You are one of the most brilliant women I know. I have faith in you. There is something that I would like to discuss with you though.” He moved the paper that was on the desk so that he could lean against it.

Lara looked up at him and moved the crinkled paper that was covering the book she was looking at. “Of course we can talk. It’s just that . . .”

Lara glanced at the crinkled map, to Aodhan, and then back to the map. She picked it up and lifted it up to the light with the front side away from her. Lara set it back down.

“How could I be so stupid.”

“What do you mean?” Aodhan asked as he picked up the map and tried to see what she was looking at.

He handed it to her and she picked up a stick of charcoal. “I hope Carrick doesn’t mind.” Lara said.

Holding the map up to the stain glass window she made an outline on the back side. Lara then marked a circle on it where the cave that the portal is. She then turned the map over and traced the mark for the cave and drew where Blarney castle would be. Lara set the map down traced side up in front of Aodhan who was giving her an annoyed but curious look.

“If I remember correctly the Hill of Tara is here.
