The Saint's Way

Summer stared at her, a line appearing between her eyebrows. There was a protracted moment of silence, interrupted by another beastly roar. Then she gave a wry, old smile. “That’s pretty good.”

And suddenly she was the wildly enthusiastic teenager again. She jumped up and down and clapped her hands. “Come on, get dressed, hurry up, we have to go. Night won’t stay long now that I’ve released her and I need you guys out of here before the children of Harvest come out and get stepped on!”

Rhianna rolled to Branwyn with her clothes and offered them. As Branwyn scrambled into them and sat to put on her shoes, Rhianna said softly, “I would have gone with ‘end this night’ but you went for the emotional appeal. Pretty good…”

Branwyn gave her a narrow look as she tied her shoes. “Thanks.”

“Come on, come on!” Summer tossed their bags at them, then Branwyn’s rejected sketch starts. “Don’t leave anything here!” A moment later they were on their feet and following Summer and Sola along the Court hall. Severin stayed behind, looking out the window at the beast, but Branwyn wasn’t exactly worried about him catching up.

They hurried through the hall, descended three ramps, and stopped at the elevators. “Should we take the stairs?” Rhianna asked.

“Are you kidding?” said Branwyn. “Only if we have to, and we might be better off just jumping.”

“These… should work?” said Summer. She frowned and winced, then stomped her foot. “Argh! Sola, fix it!”

Sola touched the elevator as well, then shook his head. “No. The Queen of Stone’s handmaiden has pulled a small portion of her Domain here to protect the Queen’s son, and it’s disrupting the elevators.”

“Can’t blame her for that…” muttered Summer. “Um. Sola? Please? Help us down to the Saint’s cave?”

“Of course, Your Majesty,” said the towel faerie. “If you would let me bear you… and if you two ladies would tightly take my arms…”

This quickly arranged, Sola leaned forward and plummeted off the empty elevator shaft. Fluffy white wings burst from his shoulders, catching and braking them. Branwyn decided that once again, she didn’t really need to watch, and closed her eyes and pretended she was on an amusement park ride until her feet touched rough ground.

Somehow, they were underground, in a beautifully lit crystalline cave covered with hanging moss and embraced by giant tree roots. There was an opening ahead of them shaped more by root than stone, with a white sand floor.

Sola gently deposited the Queen as his wings dissolved into blowing feathers. Summer caught one, pressed it to her mouth, and smiled at him before turning to Branwyn and Rhianna. “This is the shortcut I mentioned. Um… where’s Sev? I think he should be here. You’re going to be traveling somewhere beyond my Domain and it’s improper for him to be cutting in as his first entrance.”

Branwyn gritted her teeth and said, “Severin.” She felt him behind her, but once again had to rely on the expressions of others to determine that he wasn’t really there.
