 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 47 It was in the middle of the night when she came. An old woman. Hardly a tooth in her head. She brought food. Sweet apples with this crunchy stuff topped with thick cream. It was so good. I've never had anything like it. Until now. She took us back to her place not far from our camp. "I know of your kind," she whispered. "You can stay as long as you need. I'll tell anyone you're just relatives passing through, which isn't an awful lie. There is some truth in it, you know." I just stared into her marble blue eyes. Such an infant in her old body. I don't know who she is. Axel kept quiet. Later he said, "You see, this was the thing I was worried about, someone seeking us out. Someone knows, we're here." "But she brought us food. And she wants to help us." He makes me afraid, but I don't want to be. "All right. I'll think of something." He paced around a bit. "The festival of the birds is upon us, you could both stay and help with the preparations. There's need of singers and musicans. Did I mention all the cooking?" The old woman grinned. "See, we could stay for that, meanwhile you could show me more about the sword." I'm sure it holds its secrets too. By no means do I feel like I'm one with it. "Perhaps, but I don't want us in to deep." Axel squinted about the matter. I think he wants to be a wolf now. But he hasn't changed. He's been ever so helpful with helping around the old woman's place ever since she gave him the apple crisp.
