Chapter Twelve

Abduction

~

“You must come. Now Lily has disappeared and my brother is…” He paused and stood wringing his hands. “…he’s been bound by wizards.”

When they all returned to camp, Kendro stood by the rear gate to their wagon. Namen lay rigid with eyes open.

“He’s breathing, but I’ve never seen this before. We didn’t think there were any wizards in our company that could do this kind of thing. Namen walked around when he first came here and only your group had any real power. What’s worse, Lily’s gone.”

Norra just about collapsed and had to sit down on the ground. How could this happen? She wrapped her arms around herself. Herran, gone. Cloud, gone. Delia, gone. Lily, gone. Namen. How did he ever, ever become part of her group? Namen, frozen. Clint didn’t count. Most likely he abducted Lily. That left her with Bloggo, as nice and noble of a person that he was, the servant wouldn’t be enough to help her on her journey.

How could her quest to Magia crumble in the space of a few weeks on the road? She felt deserted, left bereft. She’d never felt so alone and so isolated in her life. She always had her parents at Bordon Forest to help her out if she skinned her knee or broke her wrist as she did once playing in the barn. Even at Miss Podingoode’s, Delia helped her through those first few months. Fenning—her heart went out to the memory of the little wizard—was a true friend and support. Norra realized that she had two options, curl into a little weeping ball and feel bad about her plight or—Lily’s image popped into her mind—fight for her life and her identity. She had the power to go after Lily and that’s what she’d do. No other path seemed clear.

“I have to go after her.” A cold hard anger started as a ball in her stomach and spread throughout her body. She stood up and glared, thinking that she would not be treated this way by any fates that might be working against her. She’d find Lily and she’d get Namen on his feet again.

She rose and spoke to Bloggo. “If you would put him in the wagon, I have to collect my wits and then go collect Lily.”

She walked to the river’s edge. “I won’t accept this, Gristan. I won’t. I’ll fight with magic and with the sword to get these two back with us. If Cloud or Herran return while I am gone, tell them to seek me out.”

“I will Norra. There is only so much I can do.”

She quickly changed her mind. “Come with me instead. Right now I’d kill anyone who’s taken Lily and I just might need a restraining presence.” She let her anger energize her resolve and then stalked to the wagon and looked inside. There was definitely a struggle and this time, they found their money gone from underneath the seat. She even found some blood, but Lily’s sword had been cast to the side.
