LOVE OF THE PHOENIX

I looked at Kari as she stood in front of Ishatar. She looked so achingly young. And pretty, very pretty. I wanted to reach out and touch her face. I shook my head. Another face popped up in my mind. One with dark eyes and a merry blonde braid. She brought an unbidden smile to my face.

Ishatar looked at me in surprise and asked, "What are you smiling at?"

Ishatar scowled and looked back at Kari. She touched her face and the girl's face changed. It aged and shifted shape a little more, till she looked more like the Duchess of Sparade.

I looked at the young girl who was now transformed and said to Ishatar, "I need to speak with you."

She nodded and we walked out of the room into the corridor.

"You do realize what you are doing right? She is very young." I whispered to Ishatar.
