When dinner time came Chel had Ginny escort the Regent to the high table. Once everyone was seated she introduced the man to her people and the meal began.
“...and when the light faded away I found myself in your grand uncle's bedchamber. We talked and I guess I said something that impressed him because here I am.”
Chel wasn’t sure what to make of the man and his Earth. She could tell that Ginny was taken with the strange magics he had described. Chel was more skeptical about them but she did admit the story about his homeland was enchanting, even if it was most likely false.
Chel was much happier with his ability to act like he cared about what she thought. Perhaps he sought to impress her. Still, his attitude offered her a chance to keep hold of some of the real power in her barony.
“So, Chel, do you mind if we just get going as early as possible tomorrow? I want to make the most of the daylight getting everything in order. I was thinking we get up before sunrise, eat a light breakfast and get to work.”
Chel tensed up, “Tomorrow seems awfully early to get to work. Wouldn't you prefer to get some rest, perhaps take a relaxing horse ride, before you get to work?”
The man shook his head and smiled as he replied, “Naw, I want to get things in order as quick as possible so I can start making improvements to the barony. I need some kind of budget before I can do anything on that front. Honestly, I could get to work now if you feel ready for it.”
Ginny politely cleared her throat. “Lady Chelsea has some work she put off to receive Lord Larchwood and yourself. Perhaps she can show you how she runs the barony before you retire for the evening.”

The man grinned, “That sounds like an excellent idea. Shall we?”
Shortly after that Chel found herself in her office explaining what she was doing. The regent listened patiently offering the occasional question when he didn’t understand something. She had almost finished the work she had leftover from the morning when he finally decided to tell her she was doing something wrong. “I will have to check my records before I can respond to this letter. I use this slate board to write down a reminder to take care of that the next time I visit my library.”
“I see…. why don’t you have the records in here?”
Chel sighed. The records they were referring to pertained to the wheat harvest from three years ago. There was no way to keep every record she might need in the office and she had to prioritize what she kept in the small room. “Simply put, I don’t need it often enough to keep it In here.”
“Reasonable enough. Why do you use such a tiny office then? This is barely bigger than a wardrobe.”
Chel couldn't help herself, she simply rolled her eyes and ignored him. To her annoyance he simply smiled.
When he was done dismissing her womanly he dismissed her by saying, “We can start getting the office in order tomorrow. Goodnight.”

8 184Myth of The World's Trees
And Simon answered their call with a single statement that nobody understood "Et super mos absit hoc hodie!" "Yah!" "WWWaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!" "AAAlllllaaaaallllaaaaallllaaaa!" "EeEEellllleeeeeelllllleeeeeeuuuuuuu!" I, too, yelled a battle cry at the top of my lungs. I had no idea what Simon had just spouted but from Camilla's giggling, I could guess that Simon thought that spouting nonsense was his way of getting out of the earlier predicament. "I forbid death upon this day," Camilla said. "What?" I answered a bit at a loss. "Ancient Latin," she replied smugly, "He said 'I forbid death upon this day'." I laughed aloud "Then he is gonna be really disappointed in everyone here," Camilla did not reply and instead took a deep breath. I did the same, zoning out everything in my surroundings. The environment became a world of electrical pulses traveling across several networks. I perceived the world through my lightning and sped my heartbeat to inhuman levels. I was present now, at this moment, at this point in time. I could feel the electrifying air saturating my lungs, the electrified ground vibrating at the rhythm of the approaching enemy. Then I took a step forward, everyone followed in tandem. Camilla the first, and then the others. Then I took a second step, and this time everyone followed simultaneously. Third step… Fourth step… Fifth step… Then light jogging… Speeding up… Running … Running faster…. Then suddenly, everyone disappeared into motes of light particles that re-constructed itself hundreds of feet above the horde, dozens of miles away from our initial position. We were literally 'diving' into battle.-------------------------------------------------------------------Despite a rough childhood in the slums, Omari had everything a guy could want - a loving girlfriend, an understanding sister, a wonderful teacher, and his dream job.
