Chapter 193

It was nearing dinner time when a clattering noise outside got my attention.

“Slave,” Nu-reeh’s voice called from outside.

“Yes, Mistress,” I answered bustling out. “How may I help you?”

“The child is flying I was told,” she stated and I gave an affirmative answer.

Hannah was beside me suddenly. She greeted Nu-reeh politely.

“Come with me,” Nu-reeh ordered and started to walk.

I took Hannah’s hand and we started out trailing close behind Nu-reeh.

I had been glad when Hannah stopped hissing and growling at Nu-reeh. I got the sense that Hannah respected the large woman. Nu-reeh seemed like a good role model. She was powerful and knowledgeable, things I certainly was not, so I didn’t have an issue with it. They had developed what oddly enough seemed like a business relationship.

We walked back to the steep rock wall Nu-reeh had taken me to the day Hannah was born. Once again the big woman scooped me up and flew into the opening above us.
