When Cate opened her eyes, Lachlan and Maeve were squatting down in front of her, watching her with concern.

“You have returned to us at last,” Maeve said softly.

Cate nodded, feeling lightheaded and hungry. She had never been a big eater, but since she started her quest, she discovered that hunger came along shortly after she finished. “I am happy to see you,” she said, as Maeve helped her to her feet.

“Well?” Lachlan asked with impatience.

“Hush, Lachlan,” Maeve scolded. “Let her return to us completely before you interrogate her.”

Cate rose and looked about. It felt as if she were seeing the woods for the first time. It wasn’t that they were unfamiliar, as much as they were awe-inspiring. “Jessie is trying,” she whispered, realizing that, at this moment, she was not quite alone in her spirit. “She knows about you, Maeve. She knows I have made contact with her. She knows she is needed. She knows.”

“Excellent,” Maeve answered, pulling Cate to her in a warm embrace. “I had no doubt you could do it.”

“What happened in there, Cate?” Lachlan blurted out at last.

Cate swallowed hard. She had gone from the Otherworld to Jessie’s world. Had she intended to do so? She could not remember going to the portal. What had happened after she spoke with Blodwin? “A great many things, Lachlan, but mostly I now know I can do what you are asking me to do, and so can Jessie.” Suddenly, Cate’s face fell.

“Catie, what is it?”

Cate blinked trying to hold back the tears, but they came anyway. “It’s not me. It’s Jessie.” Cate shook her head sadly. “Like us, Jessie is persecuted at every turn. She tries to be free, but there are chains binding her. She is attempting to throw off these chains to help us, but she is so young, still. She’ll need help, but she is telling me she is with us.”

“Did you discover this in the Otherworld?”

Maeve tossed Lachlan a look of her own impatience, but Cate lightly touched her arm and shook her head. “No. Jessie was not there. She has come through the portal.”

“Do you mean—”

“Yes. She is here with me now, as part of me. Perhaps all of me. I can feel her, and her life’s memories—as if I, too, had eaten a—cinnamon roll this morning.”

Lachlan and Maeve looked at each other in silence.

“Blodwin visited me in the Otherworld and told me I must allow Jessie to freely see me for who I am, and when I do that, it might embolden her to be stronger and braver in her attempts to contact me. Already, her courage is mounting.”

“It must be from Blodwin’s help.” Lachlan pushed his hood back.

Cate shook her head. “I am afraid Blodwin cares not to assist me, and perhaps I slighted her in a minor digression about the goddesses, but nonetheless, Jessie has already become stronger—without Blodwin’s assistance.”

Maeve laid her hand on Cate’s shoulder. “Is it odd?”

Cate nodded. “To see pictures in your mind that you have never really seen, and trying to make sense of what they all are, well that is very strange, indeed.
