Our math lessons were even more torturous than we had anticipated. For four hours, Faxon instructed us, made us practice, and then even forced us to take a test. Finn and I hid once Faxon dismissed us and we didn’t come out until the next day. Finn used his speed to sneak food out of the kitchen for us to eat and we were discussing hiding for another day when Faxon found us.

“Here you are! I looked everywhere for you!” he exclaimed.

“We’ve been had!” I exclaimed.

“We are almost close enough to teleport,” he informed us. “So, go get dressed and take the bags you want to keep with you for immediate use. Meet me on the main deck when you are ready.”

Finn kissed my cheek and disappeared. I hurried to my cabin, changed into fresh battle-ready clothes, and took the bag that had my essentials and weapons in it. When I made it to the main deck Finn and Faxon were already there.

“Sorry to keep you waiting,” I said and hoisted my bag over my shoulder.

“I want you both to place one hand on each of my shoulders and then hold hands,” Faxon ordered us.

We did as he asked and he closed his eyes. His lips moved, but I could not hear what he was saying. His lips stilled and then we entered the vortex of the teleportation spell. It lasted longer than when we had teleported home from Trian and just as my lunch threatened to make an reappearance, we stopped.

I opened my eyes and Finn and I released Faxon. He turned and greeted someone behind us.

“You okay?” Finn asked.

“Yeah, that spinning is not something I think I will ever get used to,” I admitted. We were inside a room of stone walls with candle chandeliers. It seemed likely that this was the castle, but this room had nothing inside of it, not even a table or chair.

“Macon, I would like to present Princess Tilia of the Realm of Olanze, heir to the Kingdom of Crilan,” Faxon said.

I turned and curtsied to the rough looking human.

He bowed and said, “It is an honor to meet you. Faxon has told me much about you.”

“Don’t believe everything he says,” I grumbled.

“Oh, I assure you that it was all good things,” Macon said.

“And this is Finn, Chief of Crilan and fiancé of Princess Tilia,” Faxon introduced.

Finn and Macon shook hands and I could tell that they were testing each other a bit. “Nice to meet you, Macon.” Finn greeted him with a smile.

“Nice to meet you as well,” Macon said and they released their handshake.

“What is the current situation?” Faxon asked Macon.

“Well, you’ve arrived in the middle of night so everyone is asleep. The Kings would like to meet you and go over everything in the morning, if that’s alright with you?” Macon asked.

Faxon nodded. “Sounds good. If you will just show us to our rooms, we will settle in for the night.”

Macon opened a door and poked his head outside, summoning someone out there.
