Chapter 36 The children of Poseidon

“Triton you think she has gills but cannot swim?”

“She should not be but she is and I am not responsible.”

“Triton have you any sons who might be responsible.”

“No only Poseidon & he lives his life as a porpoise.” Later that evening Alexis got an email about the work Triton commissioned.

Chapter 17: First Dates part 3

I headed across the mall to the Apple store leaving Katie chatting with Lauren. When I got there James was just finishing
with a customer and walked them out the door to meet me. Before he could say anything I gave him a kiss on the lips, but no
tongue. I back off and say, "Hello handsome." With my best smile.

Chapter 41 Crimson returns

The news broadcast stated there had been several simultaneous volcanic eruptions all round the world. Snow smiled, “It looks like more than Crimson survived after all. Keep playing and they will all find their way here as will any others who have not already answered the call?”

“Mum was not telling tall stories then when she said she was a dragon maid.”

Chapter 34 A day of Reunions.

“Those of you who wish to stay are welcome but it must be in human form. I and the family have other commitments to which we are obligated. We have decided to sponsor some cousins who are riding bikes. Gaby Bond is the team leader and they will require transport & I also require them to have a permanent female protection team.”

Chapter 33 Titania & Tatiania

Galadriel, “Sisters come forward and join force with me & we will summands our mother in the way she taught us.”

Ally’s grandmother, “For weeks now I have been feeling my powers returning to me. If I can feel them so can you my sisters.”

They all linked hands but failed to summands Titania. Alexis, “Stop for a moment the circle is far too small.”

Chapter 14: Lauren

Tuesday Afternoon

Freya

I leave Cappie to continue my patrol. He promises not to tell anyone about my unique talents. It's almost mid shift and I need to take my lunch break. I head for Mom's when my phone rings. "Hi Freya, how's your day going?" Lauren says.

Chapter 32. The Bond Family.

Alexis, “Baby I decided to investigate the Bond family further.” Jenny Bond apparently is the world champion but she has decided to retire at the height of her career following treatment for cancer.” The chemotherapy has left her in a weakened state and that is why she is riding as a guest rider rather than as team captain. This will be her last official race.”

Once they were all seated Jenken linked their minds then opened a link with one of the red tailed hawks. They could see, hear, smell and feel everything the hawk was experiencing. It was calmly soaring above a meadow by the dam breast about five miles away on the other side of Lake Ontelaunee. The clear view was breathtaking as they suddenly understood the phrase ‘a bird’s eye view’. The hawk was sailing with wings outstretched riding the thermals. As it glided in slow circles above the lake shore, the road (Pa Route 73) that crossed the dam breast, and the dam itself came into and vanished from view. With each revolution the hawk was spiraling slowly to the southwest away from the lake. They saw it the same instant the hawk did... a rabbit in the foot high grass!

Instantly the hurried flapping of it’s wings appeared at the edges of the hawk’s field of vision as they felt a sudden burst of energy sweep through the hawk... an adrenalin rush? The swooping head first wing tucked rapid descent almost took their breath away. They could feel the hawk’s tail flaring and shifting to maintain course and stability. With the target in site when the hawk was about 30’ up and 60’ away it let out a loud screech. They instantly understood the purpose of the screech. It was not to warn the animal to flee. Instead the screech made the prey freeze in an effort to become invisible, leaving the hawk had a stationary target. At the last second the wings flared out, the neck came up, and it struck the target feet first. By the time the rabbit saw the hawk’s shadow they could feel the talons grasping the rabbit, piercing it’s fur and holding it firmly even as it struggled to flee. The rabbit’s efforts only caused the talons to sink in deeper. They could feel the satisfaction in the hawks mind as it’s hunt was successful. The sharp beak opened as the hawk lowered it’s head to partake of it’s still living meal.

Chapter 37 Olympic Games.

A week before the games, where due to open the President of the Greek Olympic committee called to visit the complex “I have come to see for myself what has been agreed to by Mrs Popadopalis.” He looked over the sites, “Where is Mrs. Popadopalis I expected to see her here?”

Chapter 11: Patrol Duty

I grab my wallet and keys on the way to the garage. Sitting in the patrol car, the seats are very form fitting, like a race car seat shape only for me. Another sign that FREYA has change reality to put me in this life. It's still early and I take time to get familiar with the car's layout.

Chapter 29 Skipton.

Alex, “I like to watch cycling and the Milk race is going to be coming across Craven & finishing in the Ancient Dales Capital of Skipton. I would like to be there for that race and watch the winners coming in.”

Chapter 10: Thoughts and Feelings

A lot of the spring break visit consisted of JJ showing Judy around Berks County often with Jenken along for the ride as the giggling cute toddler Jen with her hair tied up in twin bouncy pony tails. Ken, in typical boyish pique, referred to Jen’s ponytails as ‘Rowlf ears’. (Vignettes from the Muppet Show were a Youtube favorite of the trilateral child.) In point of fact, Jenken was instrumental in helping select destinations of interest as during his mind probes he had accumulated a lot of knowledge about the diverse area. The Gruber Wagon Works at the Berks County Heritage Center was one of the more spectacular locations they visited.

All three helped in the Raven’s Perch in the evening. The Ravens were impressed with Judy’s waitressing skills. Jenken easily formed a bond with Judy and helped his mommy, mom and dad to do the same. JJ asked that Judy join the family for their regular Thursday night open stage performance. Of course they agreed once Jenken silently let them know she’d be an asset. On Thursday night at the start of the open stage, JJ introduced Judy to the patrons as the family set up. With guitar in hand she did a modified curtsey. Then unexpectedly JJ dropped to a knee and presented an engagement ring to Judy. While Judy knew they planned to be formally engaged, she was caught completely off guard and left speechless. Blushing deeply she could only nod affirmatively as JJ slipped the ring onto her finger. The patrons erupted in cheers and congratulations.

“The Wavens be a famiwy band,” Jenken stated seriously while sitting on a stool to better reach the mike. “If Judy hadn’t ‘cepted de pwaposaw, we wasn’t goin to wet hew pway wit us. Now, wet’s jam!”

-Forty Seven-

Ever closer to their crossing point at the Snake River the small wagon train came. Meanwhile, Rachel was becoming better at reacting with those around her; it was evident that she was slowly mending her broken heart.

Hannah wanted Rachel to keep her family's Bible, because it was about the only link that she still had with the family she had tragically lost. Often she would sit alone and slowly look at the pages, tracing her tiny fingers along the words her mother had written.

Chapter 27 More Clients.

Helen left at 6.30 to get to the office for the early appointment. She found her first customer was already waiting. There was a rather well dressed lady with her husband and child. “This is our son Christopher he was in a cycling accident.”

Helen, “I will need to inspect your child.”

The father, “Before you do here is the donation we said we would pay just to see you.”

Chapter 26 Mrs Harris

Back at home Saskia and the others were pushing Terri round the garden when Terri spotted a woman with a very scared girl in tow. “Saskia have you the phone I need to speak to Miss Tilly. Miss Tilly we have a Mrs Harris with a girl in the grounds I thought you had better know.”

Angela came running down. “Where are they?”

Saskia, “The other hobbits are following them. They went that way have we to go back to the manor?”

Chapter 25 The Battons family return to the clinic.

In Leeds the young couple who had the daughters with Battons disease had just had their second visit to the clinic. They got a surprise when the doctor said, “Apparently the gene therapy has worked on you and the girls. However there may be a problem with the husband.”

The husband. “We know this was experimental so what is the problem?”

If the toddler found a word in the internet research he didn’t understand, he looked it up on online dictionaries. What was even more amazing was that he remembered what he read, understood what he read and most impressively was able to integrate what he learned. In front of his family he dropped the baby talk and spoke as well as an honors highschool student.

The family was more than a bit unnerved by Jenken’s sudden explosion of knowledge and understanding. The lad let them be concerned but greatly tamped down their worry.

Jenken spent his computer time researching brain anatomy to fill in the gaps he discovered in Dr. Green’s knowledge. After all, as a pediatrician she had knowledge and understanding of the brain, but that was far from what a neurologist knew. But what Jenken gleaned from her knowledge guided his research to fill in the gaps and expand on what he’d learned.

While I enjoyed seeing a lot more of my new housemate, I also began to worry.

“Shouldn't you be out ...I dunno.... busking or something?" I asked while I cut up some fruit for breakfast.

He just grinned. “What are you, the house mother or something? It's cool. Rent's covered.”

“I didn't mean it like that. Just.... you're a musician.... shouldn't you be... I don't know.... off making music or something?” I smiled.
