 profile notes guests older host Climbing up on Solsbury Hill I could see the city lights Wind was blowing, time stood still Eagle flew out of the night He was something to observe Came in close; I heard a voice Standing, stretching every nerve I had to listen; had no choice I did not believe the information Just had to trust imagination My heart going boom boom boom - peter gabriel >>the players: Enid:not your ordinary princess. Axel: fairy/changling Duncan:new acquaintence Xander:not a forgotten lover. Brother: to Enid. >friends readers book 1 book 2 39 As tired as I am, it hasn't been easy to sleep. I'm not sure I'll completely ever rest here. Its not that I don't feel safe. I do. Its my dreams that worry me. I've been thinking about my brothers, lately. Just the two of them. I keep wondering if I've forgotten what they looked like. Its not like I've spent that much time with them. Todd was gone before I was born. I never met him until his twelfth birthday. I always thought he wasn't really my brother. Mother always hushed me when I question her about him. He'd gone away when he was very small. A truce of some kind when there had been a war across the sea. "Maybe he's been switched?" He didn't really look like me, or any of us for that matter. "Thats nonsense, only Fairies can do that and believe me they'd never do such a thing like that to me. We're very good friends, you know," she'd said. But thats not what I meant. I meant there, while he was gone. Suppose they killed my brother and sent back another. And we never knew. "I suppose, it could have happened, but your mother never had a choice as it was." Axel admitted while he inisisted on showing me how to make an arrow out of flint. Only he hurt his fingers in the process and sucked on them a long while to nurse them back to health. "Those brothers of yours are just a pawn, perhaps. She never wanted them, anyway. Some evil sorceress, had it in for your father as it was, those two were hers from the start." "But what about me, am I some evil sorceress inkling, too?" "You're a different story, entirely." He shrugged. "Your mother wanted you. She'd wanted a daughter. And when it didn't seem likely. After those two bullies, and a few war scars, the doctors said it would be impossible, but then there was me. And well, you know the rest of the story." "No, I don't. Its still a muttle." I sighed and thought of flying. I'd been in the clouds once. No, not the time I brought back Axel here. Before. Before when nothing held me back. "Why do I have to tell you everything, there are far more important things we should be tending to instead of you."
