this is the first in a 2 part chapter (i think), enjoy.
A few days pasted since Maeve had first talked to Ashley. She was always close to her; well it wasn’t like she had anything else better to do. Well she needed to be close incase anything was going to kick off. However what did happen was to be a surprise that she hadn’t had in years; Ashley had be telling truth. Maeve was sitting on a wall just across the road from the house that Ashley lived in. It was a nice little home, very much the same one she used to live in. Ashley couldn’t see her because Maeve had put a cloaking spell over herself so she wouldn’t be seen.Maeve smile at herself; she was know as the most skilled Lord to this day, well in this line of work. There are higher Lords who had greater power but no one knew what they did or what they called themselves; they were that secretive and rarely seen.“Well, it’s not likely they do anything. What have they done for us?” Maeve’s face hardens at the thought but soon soften as she remembered what her old master, and friend would have said if he was still around. “We don’t need to know everything that happens, for when it’s not for us to know.” However it didn’t stop her from thinking that it was people like her who have safe this world over a thousands times, and what thanks do we get? She was still in a grave mood when Ashley came out of the house with a young man, what Maeve believed to be her brother. However what got Maeve’s attention was the fact that they were arguing with each other.“How can this be? She is dead, for god’s sake, it’s in the book!” with that she jumped off the wall and vanish in to the air. The skill to move from one place to the other is hard to do and not just any Lord can do it. Maeve could remember her first time she did the skill; standing in a golden grass field, close to autumn, trying to see and feel in her minds eye the area she wanted to be in. She had found it hard, at first; for she was very nervous and kept losing her place she wanted to be in. On her third go, however, she did it and had been the only to do so for a long time. At this Maeve smile which lessened as she remembers how long ago that was. When she finely opens her eyes she was standing in the forest that she took Ashley to. The forest was very close to May Cliffs, walking distance in fact but walking is too slow when you have powers. Maeve now looked up at the tree that stood in front of her. It only had a few yellowing leaves on its finger like branches, waving lightly in the cold sea wind. The tree it self was old, very old, and grew in the centre of the forest, where the tree were big and grew close to getter. Its bark was very black and strong to survive the age of the world. No one knows how old this tree was or who planted it there in the first place.Maeve walk up to it and place a hand on to the dark ruff surface of the bark and let her will in to the tree. Light shone around her until it was blinding and then it was gone, with no one standing there at all.
