Priestess Giselle opened a room specifically for them so the three magicians could spread out and work. As they had their own mages in training here, there was not only space dedicated for such but supplies readily at hand. She generously donated several items.

Mei Li spent the morning going through shops, buying ingredients, then retreated back to the room. They divvied the basic talismans between them—holding spells, fire starting, traps, and so forth. Mei Li took on traps and fire starting, as they seemed to burn through those (pun not intended).

She took a break mid-afternoon and strolled through the recently cleansed back garden. As she walked, she stretched her arms over her head, rolling her neck around on her shoulders. It was nice to not be in a saddle today, although it would have been a good travel day, with the fair weather.

In the few weeks she’d been in this time, she’d not had much of a chance to really think on it. But several things were falling into place, giving her an entirely new perspective. Shunlei recognizing her instantly in the future—of course that made sense now. But the things that had bothered her before—like how he knew her tastes in food and clothing, or could anticipate what she would want to do next—all made much more sense now. She would travel with him for ten years. Be a friend and constant companion with him. Of course he’d know all of that about her.

What surprised her more was that even after five thousand years, he still remembered it all. And they said a Tomes’ mind was sharp. Shunlei’s might well put theirs to shame.

It also made more sense to her now why he had been so angry she had been lost in the first place. So quick to take her in as family. To him, she was family.

But it did beg the question—how much did she tell him? Mei Li must have told him something, if he knew she’d meet him again in the future. How much could she even tell him without risking messing up the past entirely?

And while Mei Li didn’t have to think about this now, she really should consider how she’d gracefully extract herself later. The spell was set to keep her here until she learned how to defeat Odom and Zaffi. Ten years was a long while. The group would certainly ask questions and possibly look for her if Mei Li just suddenly disappeared after the battle. It was something she needed to carefully consider.

She might be able to split from them with the excuse that she needed to hunt down her missing master. But would that excuse still hold water after ten years? Ten years of them gallivanting around the countryside, no less. Hmm, likely not.

Oh dear. She really would have to come up with a good plan. Otherwise this wouldn’t go down well at all. Stupid spell. Really, why did it land her here of all times? Couldn’t it have done it
