Chapter 49

"Tarvos? Where did he go?"

"I don't know, he was just here?"

"Was he playing with us?"

"What? No, I wasn't playing you." Tarvos appeared, startling them all. "I am visible to humans, I had to disappear. So, have you decided?" He asked.

"Decided what?"

"Who will go or all of you are ready?"

"I guess I won't like to be benched so I am definitely going." Paula said as she pulled her shoulders back to take down anyone who challenged her.

"I will go too. I might recognize someone." Zara said and they both looked to Merlin who was standing there with hands in his pocket and lost in his own third world.

"Merlin." Zara shook his arm.

"What? Sorry?"

"Paula and I are going to see more about what happened. Guess if you weren't lost in your dreams, you would want to go too." She said with a shoulder on his arm. Despite the sarcasm, her words were gentle.
