Samira woke the next day at four a.m she dressed and went to the second mirror in the east. The shadow demons screeched begging her not to go if I'm not back in a hour go get Shahid. She cocked her gun and sheathed her sword. The shadow lifted her up over the traps tossing her into the mirror.

Samira rolled out the mirror to four drunk guard's. They were fast asleep empty bottle's of empty whiskey all over.

She knew all to well where she was. Cypher left three sacred book's sitting open Samira grabbed two of them tossing them into the mirror the last one wouldn't allow her to pick it up with her right hand. Samira looked at the burned mark of her palm her hand sliced through the barrier like a knife in soft butter. She was about to toss it in but the book went back to where it was.

Samira grunted knowing cypher enchanted the book. Samira ninja crept up the step's Rachelle was singing an Etharkian love song in their native tongue that Ahmad sang to her over and over.

Samira sat at her old kitchen table as Rachelle prepared Etharkian coffee Cypher took from waterstone no doubt.

She put her hand gun visibly on the table. Rachelle turned around shocked dropping her coffee mug on the floor.

That was my favorite mug when I lived here. Rachelle knelt before Samira get up stop the foolishness and sit down.

What are you doing here Samira? Samira slapped Polaroid photo's on the table.

Rachelle picked them up smiling at Ahmad and how handsome he looked. She missed her native Etharkia and all within it.

How is Obsidian? Better as you can see. Why are you here Samira? Cypher crashed my party I'm here to discuss that Rachelle.

Rachelle looked at her sparkling engagement ring she smiled those are stone's from one of my necklaces Samira wear them in good health.

Idris was humming Good morning! He stopped in his track's seeing Samira. Lock the basement door Uncle Samira demanded in a soft easy unshaken voice. Idris did as commanded.

He sat looking at the photos my brother is well? Your brothers are well Obsidian indoctrinated Shahid as a blood born Firestone prince third in the line Idris.

Shahid before Cypher? As I said that's what I am here to discuss with him. He's not home young Queen.

Yes he is I can smell him she opened her palm they kneeled again. Stop the formalities we ain't in the mirror. They sat nervously a half dead marked you? Rachelle asked nervously.

Yes a week ago what does this mean to you Rachelle?

Airstone is the house of magic we hold the mystery and history of Etharkia within our castle wall's. All healer's and
mid-wives come from Airstone Castle.

All necromancers and witches come from Airstone it is said the holy half deads are of our blood line.

I've never seen them brand anyone with a holy marking may I? Rachelle stared into her palm is there a new creature in Etharkia Samira? Why?

This triple axe crossing with a olive branch leaf indicates a new life and the circle is a double connecting S representing your initial.

Meaning you are the mother of whatever is in that new birth...is it an egg? Yes it glows black upon touch.

Black Rachelle thought to herself her teachings running rampant within her mind. You have to go to Airstone castle and get a book she wrote down the symbol's it has this on it.

Why would I trust you when I can ask the holy half dead's to help me? No one was taught to interpret the great books like I was. I studied from the age of two in order to protect Etharkia with all I've learned. I passed what I've learned to Cypher that's how he's able to open another mirror.
