Chapter 3: Repercussions Of Unheeded Warnings

Forty-five minutes later, Eknara had opened half a dozen portals just to peek through. The views she was greeted with included strange craft flying through the sky (much to her delight) very alien looking creatures, bizarre looking architectures and various sights that were as dull as grass plains. She was awed and mesmerized by absolutely everything she saw and quickly lost track of time.

Aicatul, although also overcome by Eknara’s emotions, was able to take his attention away from the portals for a minute as he noted the time. “Eknara!”

“What?” she said, obviously peeved to be interrupted in her adventure.

“Prilla should be back in about 15 minutes or so. We have to clean up and get out of here. I really don’t want to have be chastised by Laitmar!”

Eknara nearly jumped up in surprise. “Okay, help me clean up while I close up this last portal.”

Eknara wasn’t able to concentrate very well as the urgency of erasing any signs of her transgression overcame her. It was then that things stopped going her way. As she conducted a series of spells to break down the bridge she had constructed in order to close the portal before her, she messed up somewhere and a new unintended portal opened up. Although unsure of where she went wrong, the young apprentice hurried to fix her mistake. It was then that Aicatul picked up the large untitled text book and forgetting that there was a portal right behind him, flew straight into it.

Eknara’s heart suddenly sank. All thoughts of cleaning up her mess quickly escaped her thoughts to be replaced by only one goal; closing the distance between herself and her daemon. The fear of any chance of losing him for even an instant was far too much to bear.

Aicatul had noticed his mistake and turned around to fly back, but Eknara took no notice of this as she shouted his name and leapt through the portal to embrace him. He flew into her arms and Eknara hugged him with all her might.

It was a minute or two before before they regained their composure enough to turn around and find the portal had disappeared completely out of sight. She had, of course, been breaking down what was needed to keep any portal open when the mishaps started.

Eknara was suddenly afraid all over again. “Great Suez, no! Ai … Aicatul... where is it?” Her voice, initially soft, suddenly grew loud and harsh. “Where’s the window?! WHERE?!” She fidgeted, and started turning around in sudden bursts, completing a number of revolutions as if the portal would suddenly reappear before her. Meanwhile, Aicatul flew around in frantic circles; just as distressed as his human.

It was a minute before she noticed a slight breeze and looked down. She was completely naked. The harsh truth finally started to settle on her. Her eyes glazed over and she dropped to her knees before crying her eyes out.

If you are lost in your way
Deep in an awesome story
Don't be in doubt and stray
Cling to your lonesome folly

Now you're too close to the pain
Let all the rain go further
Come back and kiss me in vain
Mother oh do not bother

Hear the chorus of pain


Taking you back to proper ways
It's so easy to find
If you could remind me

Now you are lost in your way
Deep in an awesome story
So I will find you again
Kiss you for lonesome folly
