Chapter Twelve

Heather

While the official delegation met, Reagan and I walked around the grounds and talked. This was the second large, impressive home in which I had spent time in the last few weeks, and the beauty of the architecture astounded me. The Southern Realm royal residence, while not a castle, was even more beautiful than its Irish counterpart, if that was possible. The white stone building was set atop a steep hill, but the area around the building itself was flat enough for a garden. After a few minutes of silence, Reagan found a large rock that sat among the bushes and flowers and overlooked a broad expanse of the valley below. She perched on the rock and patted the spot next to her for me to sit as well. We could see small farms dotting the landscape far below, and sheep grazing in the green meadows.

“I’ve always wanted to visit New Zealand,” Reagan said, “but this is not the way I thought I’d get here.”

“It seems like only last week we were sitting on a beach in Australia, checking out the lifeguards?” I laughed.

Reagan shook her head in amazement. “It does. Now we’re in New Zealand, but we don’t know what year or century, or even what millennium. Are there human occupants of the Southern Realm like there are in Ireland? We have so much to learn if we’re going to spend time with the Elven.”

I knew my older sister was voicing her fears more than asking a real question, but then she turned and looked off at the horizon.

“That’s so true,” I said. “I haven’t figured out how it all works, but I really don’t want to. It gives me a headache! But you’ve asked the right question. Are we going to spend time in faerie land? Are we destined to become a part of this world forever?”

“Have you heard anything from Mick since we left the Western Realm?”

“Umm no, I haven’t. And about that… I have something to tell you. When I was at the cabin, I kind of kissed Gregor.” I watched Reagan for her reaction.

Her head whipped around as she heard what I had said. “You kissed Gregor? Where is my baby sister? Two men in less than a week?”

“I know,” I groaned. “You can’t say anything to me that I’m not already telling myself. I don’t know what happened. I just felt myself incredibly attracted to him, and next thing I knew, we were kissing…. and kissing… and then kissing some more.” I felt almost ashamed as I gave her the highlights of my sordid tale.

“There’s more,” I added. “Gregor sees visions. He calls it a curse rather than a gift. He had a premonition that the two of us get married. Then, while we were kind of…” I blushed and then hurried on, “kissing, he had another vision. I was able to share that one with him because our minds were linked. I saw the same scene. I could see and even feel that I was totally in love with him.
