I spent all day yesterday putting off going home. I kept heading out... and then would stop by the Isle of Gambino and play some cards. Then I would go back and check on the WTGR and shop a bit... just looking around.
Thats what I did all day.
Today, I am going home. right now.

Flying above the dirt path, following it because she seemed to forget she doesn't have to, rose contemplated her years away at school. She learned all kinds of magic intricacies. She knew all that they could teach her about Dragons (which is somewhat hard to get information on; they don't tell about themselves too often), Demons (or, more specifically, general demon-istics), fairies, nyphs, and, mostly, wizards. She learned all the magic they would let her try... which, when she thought back about it, wasn't very much.
She tried not to think about the one thing that she could not escape. The one thing her teachers had avoided so fervently... and that her father would not speak of. She had stopped writing to him three years ago. True, she still sent a page about what was going on with her and school along with her report cards. But she hadn't received anything back from him for four years. And the school did not allow her to leave campus. Except, finally, they started allowing trips to forums and shopping this past fall. Which is how she found the WTGR.
'How ironic' she thought, 'that the one place I found that seemed more like home than school is the place where I lost my right to go to school.'
While pondering that, she did not notice that her shadow was not the only one following the path from above. And the shadow was catching up.
She was just passing the port of Gambino, heading towards the Barton Coast when it caught up to her. She heard a faint rustling of feathery wings above her, and looked up in time to see a black feathered outline against the sun. Niko, Tuft, Olay! and Kipper all leapt at the figure. The last thing rose saw before darkness surrounded her was her companions being flung down to the ground.
