Trinity Awakening by K.L. Morton Read Free Book Online Page B

              "He's very formal isn't he? He reminds me of that guy from 'The Princess Bride' movie, 'as you wish!" Emma said quietly to Trinny. "He isn't like the other two, Goliath there...." Motioning to Morthos, ".... he’s all warrior, protective and staunch like, and chicken legs..." Pointing at Garus as he stumbled on a piece of driftwood. "Yeah, he's just plain geeky, but in a good looking kind of way. And what's with that? They're all so good looking, I know the fairy books make the girl fairies all pretty but..." Emma was interrupted by Morthos strong voice calling back to them.
                  "We're here!" 
                  "Don't we need to get to the airport or something to get to Ireland? And you didn't tell us to pack our passports." Emma called out to them. 
                  "What are passports?" Garus looked at Emma with inquisitive eyes.
                  "They're documents that allow you to enter another country, isn't that what we're meant to be doing, going to another country?" Emma was giving him a schoolteacher look.
                  "We use the same magic we used to come into your realm from ours, it will take only moments to get there." As Aarion spoke he pulled from his pocket a tiny prism shaped object, holding it in his hand he directed it to a wall of rock that was protruding out from the sand dunes. Aarion seemed to whisper a word to the prism and a sudden spectrum of light dispersed from it, projecting onto the rock wall in a multitude of colors. Through the color spectrum they could see lush green fields and grey skies. "Go Morthos, check the way. Garus take Emma through, I will follow with Trinny." Morthos ran at the projected image on the rock wall, Garus grabbed Emma’s arm and pulled her after Morthos, she was not particularly happy about this and looked back at Trinny for help. They were all gone. Trinny looked at the wall and could see three figures in the distance on green grass, before she could speak Aarion had taken hold of her waist and pulled her towards the rock, she closed her eyes waiting for the pain of the rough wall, but to her relief she could only feel a cold wind whipping around her face and hair, she shivered and opened her eyes. Aarion’s warm arm was still around her and his hand was still on her waist, she could smell the scent of forest in his hair as the wind whipped it around toward her face. His hand felt warm and she didn't move away from him, he finally let go of her. "Sorry about the hasty arrival, once the Cipher starts it's magic we only have moments to move through the portal opening." He put the Cipher back in his pocket and started to walk towards a wall of stone that you could tell went for miles in both directions. It looked like it had been painstakingly hand built from river stones and been standing for hundreds of years. 
                  "How many portals are there? Can anyone travel from place to place like that?" Trinny was fascinated.
                  "There are thousands of portal openings, but only someone with a Cipher can travel through them, there are only a handful left, and you must know the ancient language of the Elven people to use it." Morthos stated matter-of-factly. The fact they had just traveled thousands of miles in only moments via some magical device that was activated by some age old language was so surreal to Trinny, she felt like she was in a dream. She closed her eyes to re-focus and could smell wet grass mixed with the scent of salt water. She opened her eyes to see they were in a sloping field that had a few sheep huddled under a tree, there were rolling hills behind them and the sound of the ocean coming from in front of them. Morthos took out a perfectly round stone the color of Australian red earth. He closed his fingers over it in his palm and shut his eyes; Trinny thought this must be the Keitha they spoke of. Moments later he
