36 Arrival (2/2)

”Sorry granny we found him on the outskirts, can you help him ”

”Oh ,and what are supposed to do ,let this old granny deal with your woes ”

With a bow from the skinny guard and a curt nod of the burly man they both said in unison

”Sorry ”

The old women looked at the 2 guards with a stare of disappointment and shaking her head.

”Let the lad down, I cannot hold the poor lad if he isn't put down ”

”he may be dangerous, do you want us to follow ”

”See him in with me then ,do let him down ”

Calebs was put down with a careful slowness and as he landed he wiped his legs down as if unclean now and a confused look of offence washed over the burly guard face.

He turned around to see the building and the women, she was old but there were certain fairness and wisdom to her visage and as he saw here realitys Skeens shuddered for a second and he saw a faint image overlayed of a nun,

and he could not help but mutter ”M...oth...er”as the last words trailed off

Confusion and disarray shuddered his existence, shaken and breaking reeling from the experience, reality reasserted its hold within mere moments of confusion he tried to fish his memories in the storm for the nun his vision blurred and a scarlet droplet went down his nose, everything was darkening.

Caleb with a last effort looked at the old lady in desperation and caring eyes stared back but not from her but the stain glass window behind her.

Everything went black.
