who have been keeping up with me about me Term 1

The Game of Love
and Death (Chapter 7)
There was a hill, and down the
hill, past the international district,
rose the Smith Tower, it’s lights glowing
against the black sky. Beyond that,
Puget sound. It has taken the better part
of two days, but Henry had convinced
Ethan to go on Flora’s nightclub, His
fingers twitched,  playing the notes of
the Enigma Variations.

The Game of Love
and Death (Chapter 8)
After the show, Henry stood in the
alley outside the club and rapped
on an unmarked door while Ethan,
Making no effort to hide his mortification,
turned to face the street. No one answered,
so Henry waited a minute before knocking again.

The Game of Love
and Death (Chapter 9)
The night had passed, Flora sat in her
small dressing room, holding a tall glass
of lemonade against her forehead. The stage
lights were always so hot she felt like
something out of an oven after a performance,
and nothing was better than something cold,
tart, and sweet to drink. As she lowered the
glass of sip, she tried not to think about
that one moment in her performance,
but it was just too difficult.

Infinity Ring, Cave of
Wonders (Caravans and Caramel)
The desert wind whipped around them,
Stirring up sand. Dak shielded his eyes
and used his shirt to cover his mouth to
keep from breathing in the grit. Sera and Riq
did the same. They were standing in the
middle of the dusty road and the three of
them having just wrapped from the Great
Wall in Ming-Dynasty / China.
25 - April (Anzac Day)
Infinity Ring, Cave of
Wonders (The Riddle of the Cave)
The Guard had one hand on the pommel
of the sword he wore at his waist. A few
minutes later, The guard looked all three of
them over, and took his time doing it.
“They came from Medina. How is it
you are wearing the clothing of China”.
The guard didn’t seem to be buying it.
He kept looking at their clothes. “You’re pretty
young to be working caravans”
For a moment, Riq worried that maybe
the man was a time warden, an undercover
SQ agent on the lookout for time travelers.

Infinity Ring, Cave of Wonders
(The Streets of Baghdad)
The screen went black. Sera stared at it.
Really the message from Arin could not
have been any worse. Of all of them,
Sera was always the only one who had
seen the Cataclysm. She’d witnessed
firsthand what would happen to the
world if they failed in their mission to
repair the breaks. She also knew that
somehow, she had parents n, in the future,
a mother and father who had only
been Remnants before Sera.
25 - April
Infinity Ring, Cave
of Wonders (The Market Inspector)
Dak noticed immediately that Sera and Riq
were staring at him. Sera, especially,
looked worried, Maybe he should have
told them what he was about to do before
he did it. But they never seemed to like
Dak’s ideas worked out really, really well.
Other times……..!! He remembered
that there were storytellers who performed
on the streets. They hadn’t seen one yet,
but Dak didn’t see why he couldn’t try to tell
him a story. If people liked it and they
tossed him a few coins, maybe they’d
be able to buy some clothes.

A Legend of
Starfire (Chapter 10)
*Goosey, Goosey, Gander. Whither
dost thou wander? Upstairs and downstairs,
And up and over yonder*
Wren didn’t know how much time has
passed while they talked to Mary
and Cole. After a while Mary drew wren
over to the far side of the room, where
a beautiful wooden bureau stood
under a round mirror. “It seems that
many Magicians in the city don’t
know about Boggen’s horrible research”.
They’ve known for a several years
that Boggen was testing tainted stardust
on his prisoners and have worked
to thwart stardust.

A Legend of
Starfire (Chapter 11)
*What did she dream? She does not know.
The fragment fly like chaff, Yet strange
her mind was tickled so, To do anything
but laugh.*
Wren instinctively reached for jack’s hand.
What were they going to do? There was
nowhere for them to run. If they went
back down the stair, they’d be in the
midst of Auspex’s fight. Wren was surprised
when one of the guards lowered his lance.
Jack laughed as though he knew what
Titus was talking and Wren hoped that
his bluffing would keep them going long
enough to figure out a way out of
the House of Never.

A Legend of
Starfire (Chapter 12)
The steps kept curving down and around,
down and around, circling in on themselves.
Soon, The stairwell changed from sterile
metal to earthen walls with wooden steps.
The air grew damper. Then they were
funneling through an arched doorway,
older boys who must be leaders of some
kind holding the door for the
others to pass through.
