I turned, watching Caius carefully. His voice had caught me off guard, especially when intruding my head like that. I quickly pulled up a mental shield blocking him out after quickly replying with gladly.

I held my staff steady, and it immediately covered itself with a thick coat of what looked to be lightening. It snapped and crackled in my hand.

Caius and I circled the room, facing each other at all times. When I least expected it, he cracked his whip, hitting something above me and causing it to fall, narrowly missing my head.

I realized immediately that this would be better handled outdoors.

As I edged around, still moving in a circle, I began moving backwards as well as sideways. As the door became closer, I did a small back flip and landed nimbly outside the building. Caius grinned, realizing that he was dealing with someone with at least some amount of experience, and followed me.

Jenie.

the tracks were difficult to track though the force that Jenie had seen leave was great. Why? Why can't I see them? She followed the paths, knowing that they would be hard-pressed to find a way through the thick bush and forest around it. But she was stillconfused about their apparent lack of a trail.
