Sabhira's Daughter #22 (2 of 2)
#25 of Tails of the Khajiit
A rude awakening.
| Hours later, after even Ubergard has returned to bed... |
| "RED!" Kitty shouted suddenly, starting from her sleep. |
| "Kitty, relax. It was just a dream. Red's gone," Udaran tried to comfort Kitty.
"No, she's not!" declared the upset Khajiit, "Udaran, she's here again. I mean, she's back. She's at the Guardian Stones!"
"What? But that's miles away. How could you know that?" Udaran protested.
But Kitty insisted, "I saw her Udie. Ubergard, get up! We've got to go!" |
| "Now wait a minute. It's the middle of the night. Even if what you saw was real..." Udaran argued.
"Look, I'm going back. Now. You and Ubergard can stay here if you want."
"Hold on a minute, I'm not leaving you to go alone out there, but it's dangerous. Can't it wait till morning?"
"You can wait till morning. I'm out NOW," said Kitty with finality and she turned to go.
"Ok,ok! Let me get my clothes on at least!" Udaran said, relenting at last for her friend's sake.
| "Get up Ubergard, we're leaving," Udaran said.
"Leaving? What time is it?" asked Ubergard as she shook her head to clear the cobwebs.
"It's late. Or early. It's dark," Udaran finally decided.
"But... where? Why?" asked the Argonian giant.
Udaran summarized for her, "Ask Kitty. Better yet, ask your talking Axe! Kitty thinks Red is at the Guardian Stones." |
| "That's a long way back," Ubergard protested.
"Yeah. But she's going with or without us, so let's go!" |
