About The Things That I Done
�Shit,� coughed Karel, rolling to a stop at the base of the hill. Then Khyrisse landed on top of him. �Oof!�
�Sorry,� she mumbled, not feeling very sorry, and picked herself up. There was still a faint and disturbing rumbling
somewhere beneath the ground. An unpleasant haze of gravel dust hovered in the air down here. Khyrisse wasn�t usually prone to
asthma attacks, but this was pushing her breathability limits. �Did you do that,� she demanded rhetorically, fanning the air in front
of her face around, �or did I?�
�I think it was me, actually,� said Rani, stepping through the cloud dragging Aithne and Tarrin behind her by the
wrists. �We�re in a little bit of a hurry here, do you mind just grabbing on?�
�What?� said Khyrisse, blinking at the grim-faced halfbreed. �What are you--why are we in a hurry?�
�My wife is dying,� Tarrin said in an anguished voice. �Please, we must save her!�
�That and I�ve got Sidhe breathing down my neck,� Rani said, �I�d kind of like to get out of here before they kick
my ass. Or before I have to tear this whole place apart to get away from �em.�
Khyrisse looked at Aithne. Aithne just looked scared. �All right,� the sorceress sighed, then realized too late that sighing
in a cloud of gravel dust made you choke on it pathetically.
�Why are the Sidhe chasing you anyway?� Karel asked curiously, taking his wheezing sister by the arm. �You didn�t
steal something from them, did you?�
�That�s R-A-N-I, not K-I-T.� She nodded her assent, and he put his hand gingerly on her shoulder. �I ditched out
on their destiny thing.�
�You did?� said Karel, blinking at her. �Can--I ask what it was?�
�No,� she said. �They asked for something I wasn�t willing to give up. That�s all you need to know.
Hold on, and hold on tight.�
