The Best Laid Plans Go Astray

“Have all of you eaten?”

Ukrah answered affirmatively, as did Cassinda. Eist didn’t say anything else, of course, and Marcellyn was pressed against the back wall, watching with sharp eyes.

It had taken the two women the rest of the day to set up everything they needed to, and that wait might have actually been worse than the wait for Dille to get back. Everything the women did seemed both so simple and so complicated, with the two of them drawing specific runes on the floor in a large, intricate circle.

They had indeed pricked both Cassinda and Ukrah’s fingers, mixing their blood into the grayish paste they had made from the jars and plants that Dille had brought with her. Somehow, even with those red drops, the medium remained a milky sort of color, which now covered most of the floor in specific patterns.

The strangest thing was that the more they drew, the more Ukrah could feel…something shifting around her. It was a feeling unlike any other that she had experienced, and she had been experiencing a whole lot of unique things since absorbing her fallen brethren.

“You have your supplies? The tethers for Voirdr and Fior?”

Of course they did, but Ukrah didn’t mind that Dille was double-checking. Apparently, there was a chance of their dragons not coming with them or being separated during the spell. Well, mostly just Voirdr, as the governess explained that Fior had once been sent through a portal with her and they had navigated the strange streams of magic together.

Thankfully, the witch had the wherewithal to bring enough ingredients to make a lead that was supposed to make sure that Voirdr stayed with Ukrah, not separated by whatever it was like to be pulled to another time.

“Now remember, you’re going to a time where the old spirits are barely existent, most of them being used to create the veil. You most likely won’t have any abilities where I send you, and you won’t be able to feel them like you’re used to being able to.”

“But you’re not sure that will happen,” Cassinda added, just as she had added every other time they had spoken on it.

“It’s a hypothesis,” Dille answered blithely before continuing. “Are all of you ready? Once we join hands and begin the incantation, none of you can stop.”

“Ready,” Ukrah and Eist said in unison.

“I still can’t believe that our best plan involves traveling to the past.”

“Are you ready?”

“Yeah, yeah. Whatever. Do the impossible thing, why not?”

“Then we join hands. Ukrah, Cassinda, I need both of you to relax and breathe deeply. Pour yourselves into the channels below your feet. I know they’ll feel strange, unnatural, but trust me. You must trust me.”

She was reiterating things that she had already explained, but Ukrah didn’t think there was harm in it. She would be lying if she said she wasn’t nervous. And by nervous, she meant downright terrified.

But she shoved that down within herself. After everything else she had survived, how hard
