“A month?” I asked, choking on my tea.

Craig helpfully pounded me on the back until I finally stopped coughing.

My eyes were teared up from the coughing fit. “How is that possible? Were we locked up that long?”

“Locked up?” Mama Lucy glared at Forrest and Craig. “Explain, now.”

Forrest and Craig exchanged a look over my head and seemed to be debating who was willing to risk Mama Lucy’s wrath from explaining what happened when we left.

As entertaining as it would be to watch them stammer through our side of the story while Mama Lucy debated on what to turn them into, temporarily, of course, I told them to answer my question first.

“Were we seriously gone a month? A whole month?”

“Technically, in the dragon realm, we were only gone a little over a week,” Forrest stated. “However, since the realms have been split, the time between them does not always coincide.”

Mama Lucy pointed to the calendar behind me on the wall. “I marked the day you left, and you can see when you came home, today. It’s been a month, Kate.”

And from the worry lines on Mama Lucy’s face, she’d been worrying endlessly every single one of those days.

I reached across the table and squeezed her hand. “I’m sorry, I had no idea we’d be gone that long.” My mind wasn’t willing to believe what they said was true.

What happened in that month to change Mama Lucy from the gentlewoman I knew to someone who chucked flaming bottles with potions at undead dragon warriors?

“I tried to send word to you, but nothing could get through.”

“What do you mean?”

“In your knapsack, there’s a tiny compact mirror I enchanted so I would be able to call out to you if need be,” she said, and got up from the table to grab the bag in question and brought it back with her. Her next words were muffled as she dug around. “I worried it was broken, or worse you’d been taken captive.” Her brow arched at that last bit, and I swore I heard Forrest and Craig gulp. “Ah, here it is.”

She pulled out a silver etched case and set it on the table before opening it. The glass was intact, and it looked alright to me.

“Damn, I was hoping it was broken.”

“Is this bad?”

“It means something is blocking light magic from getting through the barrier between realms.” Mama Lucy sighed, and plopped back down in her chair. “The darkness is growing much quicker than we first realized I think.”

“That undead thing, it wasn’t the first one to attack you,” I stated, and Mama Lucy barely nodded. “How many have you seen?” I asked, ready to let panic take over.

This realm was supposed to still be safe. If they were here, then they might already be in every realm, and our chances of success dropped.

“Counting that one? Five, and all very easy to kill. Not too bright.”

“Not these,” Craig muttered under his breath.

I kicked his foot under the table. Mama Lucy was already worried enough.
