Chapter 52

WE STARED AT ELENA, OUR expressions a mixture of shock and horror.

'Are we meant to be excited about this?' Kassie looked understandably dubious. 'We may have super powers and if we do a family of nutters is going to hunt us down and suck us dry?' Her voice increased an octave.

Sian stared icily at Elena. 'Well put, Kass.'

Loi and I gave the Sorceress similar unimpressed looks.

Elena appeared a little stunned by our not so rapturous response and stared at us in shock before exclaiming, 'No, NO! That is not what's going to happen at all. There are a couple of reasons, please let me explain. Do you know how the late King died?'

Loi, Sian, and I shook our heads but Kassie spoke up.

'Yes. Well, I think I do. Rumal told me it was in a fight, and his first griffon, Ofelaan, died in it too.'
