The man that had directed Rose10 to the school appeared again a few days later.It was after lunch and the man walked into her dormitory."Now,it's time for you to repay my kindness by answering a few questions.".Rose10 looked puzzled,"Ok then."the man shut the door and locked it,"Ok.First question.Where are you friends?"Rose10 blinked,"I have no idea.Honestly,I haven't." "Secondly,do any of them have daemons?" "Not that I know of." "Thirdly,do you have daemon?" "Yes,Meeki." "And lastly,how did you get your daemon?" "I can't remember!" "Tell me how you got your daemon!"the man looked more menacing now."Do you have 2 hours?"

IamwhoIam and Carian came upon a spring and drank themselves full and bathed themselves. The cold water soothed her grazes.
When they got out they carried on tiresomely, just to get back to the beginning. Carian took on the form of the lightest being possible and rested on IamwhoIam's shoulder. They both gave a great sigh.
A week went by, drinking from the springs they past, eating the berries and the occaisional creature of the wilderness.
Finally they reached London, where MBS took place. IamwhoIam let herself rest on a log, massaging her bruised feet.
"I'm going to explore," Carian said to IamwhoIam. He shifted into the form of a oak-brown skylark and took flight. IamwhoIam watched as Carian circled higher and higher until he was a mere brown speck.*
IamwhoIam got up and walked to the nearest road, holding out her hand for a taxi.
"Where y' off to m' lady?" the driver asked, not minding the dirty clothes IamwhoIam wore.
"Member Boarding School please."
The driver seemed surprise of the polite language from a tramp and especially going to the Members Boarding School. Even thought the driver's driving was rough, IamwhoIam fell into an uneasy sleep of nightmares of what might have happened to her friends.
Suddenly the driving came to a halt which literally made IamwhoIam fly out of her seat (fortunately her seat belts were on).
"Here we are m' lady. That'll be ten pounds seventy-five," he said with a toothful grin of getting more money.
IamwhoIam clumsily took off her bag and rumaged about for her purse. She took it out and handed the driver eleven pounds. She ran out of the door shouting, "Keep the change."
There infront of her was home. The large doors leading into her home.

"I might."the man's voice was soothing now."Ok,I'll tell you."Rose10 looked out the window to see IamwhoIam walking up to the school gates,"Later."The man's soothing voice faded to be replaced with a menacing snarl."You'll tell me now or I'll cut your daemon!".Meeki turned into a sparrow and hid in Rose10's pocket.Rose10 was shocked he would do such a thing."No!I'm not telling you,actually!"Rose10 said firmly.The man smirked.Rose10 was sweating.He had a dagger.Rose10 ran aroudn the room,the man in hot pursuit.Rose10 had a little head start,but the man was too quick.He soon caught Rose10,his dagger raised above her throat."You'll tell me or you'll die."he said,sounding crazy."I'll never tell you!"she had seen the black mark of one of her family's most feared enemie's who would do anything to rule the world.She hoped that IamwhoIam would get there soon.She muttered something and the door unlocked without a sound.

IamwhoIam opened the heavy iron doors, avoiding a portal that was extremely close to the handle, and walked through. She felt like a large warm hand had stroked her. It was good to be home.
She ascended the stairs leading to the assembly hall, again avoiding the portals. She was about to open those doors leading to the hall, when she heard a loud scream coming from downstairs. It sounded like Rose10.
"Hang on Rose10! I'm coming!"
She just reached the door, when it flew open, making IamwhoIam shocked and off guard just for a second. A dagger flew towards her and pierced her arm. She gave soft, "Ow," before falling back, unconscious.

Meanwhile, in the air, Carian's wing gave a sudden jerk with weakness and pain. He attempted to fly down again, but ended up in a heap of feathers and bones. Lukily none were broken, but Carian was weak and fell into a deep sleep.

"I'm definately not telling you a thing more!"Rose10 was livid by this time.Not only had he threatened to h kill her to get information,but he'd also hurt her best friend.The topaz glowed.As Rose10 got angrier,the gem got brighter.Suddenly,there was a flash and after the light had cleared,the scene was one a perosn who had looked in the window before would have stared at in amazement.The were a pair of shoes with smoke rising from them.Rose10 lay on the floor,asleep.IamwhoIam's arm had healed and the dagger was still in the wall.

Fiaraurama looked around, confused. "Did something happen, I have a feeling that something has changed, or happened, I don't know."
"Yes, something strange did happen, didn't it?" said Edmund, "I don't understand or like it, it isn't right. But what was it?"

IamwhoIam woke up. Her arm tingled and she looked at it. There was a great hole there and it was healed. Shakily IamwhoIam put her idex finger into it. A pure round hole, so smooth. So weird. She shuddered.
She looked around. There lay Rose10 asleep...

Rose10 was dreaming that her crystal just shattered into a million pieces and she'd never be able to use magic ever again.Rose10 suddenly woke up.She looked around at what she had done.There were a pair of smoking shoes and IamwhoIam was staring at a hole in her arm.Rose10 looked at the gem in disgust.It was that which had cuased so much trouble.She'd had enough.She untied the stri[ keeping it on and threw it on the floor.It shattered into a million pieces.It was just like her dream.The difference was,she could use the powers of the gem with her own free will.

"Hiya! Glad your awake," IamwhoIam said to Rose10 once she was awake. "Hey what are you doing?" She asked when Rose10 smashed the crystal on the floor.
"Oh, by the way, my dæmon's had an accident. Can you please help me find him?"

"Ok."Rose10 said,before realising IamwhoIam didn't have a daemon before.Rose10 shook it off and looked out the window.There was bird there.Rose10 asked IamwhoIam,"Was your daemon in the form of a bird?"

"That's ... How do you do that? "IamwhoIam said nervously. "He's still unconcious though."
IamwhoIam opened the window and called, "Carian! Hang on. I'm coming!"

"He's unconcious but he's flying! Can't you see?!" IamwhoIam said impatiently, then jumped out of the window and ran towards Carian but couldn't reach. She jumped stretching her arm. "How ... how come?"

Rose10 looked and saw Carain was flying,but he didn't have conciousness.Rose10 stared at him in amazement.Then she realised that it was her doing it.She concentrated on him flying into the room.The window miagically opened and Carain flew in,then flopped onto one of the beds.

"Oh Carian!" IamwhoIam cried as she ran towards the bed. She scooped him up and hegged him, pressing her heart to his. Slowly, he woke up and flapped his wings in IamwhoIam's arms. "What am I doing here? Where is this place. Oh, your school.... Can you please get off me?" IamwhoIam released her hold hesitantly and instantly Carian flew to one of the four posts on the bed. He used his beak to straighten the ruffled feathers and flapped a bit, then changed to a ermine while jumping off the bed. He leaped through the window onto the grass by the pond and shook his body. For some reason the whole ground suddenly begame covered with snow. Carian looked around as shocked as IamwhoIam. |

"I wonder what's happened to the others?"
"Well, wouldn't it be advisable to go and search?" said Peter, irritated by Fiaraurama's whining
"Because I'm extraudinarily lazy."

"Yep!Definately got colder!"Rose10 said and then some jackets appeared infront of the two girl."I'm beginning to like having this power!"Rose10 said with a grin.

"Carian, what have you done?" IamwhoIam said amazed.
"I don't know! Honest!" he replied. He turned to a butterfly and flew to the window ledge, imediately the place turned normal again. IamwhoIam bit her lip.
"Why?"

"There is definately something wierd going on here."Rose10 said.Meeki,as a mouse,appeared for the first time in a long time.She squeaked at the sight of Carain."Who's the other daemon?"she said."That's Carain,IamwhoIam's daemon.How did you get him any way?"Rose10 said,trying to resist touching Carain.She did in the end.

Carian sensed Rose10 coming; he changed to a wildcat and hissed at her. The only contact was the claws and blood as he scraped Rose10's hand raw.
Even then, he cowered back and hid behind an angry IamwhoIam.
"I told you..."

"Sorry.Sometimes I forget."Rose10 said,looking at her bleeding hand.She closed her eyes.It healed.She stared out the window."What is there we can do now?This evil is still at work,I can feel it!"Rose10 asked.

"Ok, ok, I'll go downstairs then." Fiaraurama walked down the staris with the High Kings and Queens following. "Well, the should be around here somewhere. Now let me think...where did I leave them last...well, IamwhoIam was in one world and Rose10 was in another...I went into yours...Well, how far can they get in...a couple of hours?"
"Surprisingly far." said the Centaur.
"Shut up, I'm just being optimistic."

"Great. So great I just want to jump off a building," IamwhoIam sighed. Carian inched little by little towards Meeki, still a wild cat, while IamwhoIam sat on her bed, head in her hands. He pawed gently at Meeki, then changed to a ferret and sat, eyes watching Meeki all the time, during the silence between the four of them. "Mmm..." IamwhoIam murmured. "Wait. Where's Lyra and Will? We haven't seen them for... ages!" |

Meeki changed into a ferret and stared back at Carain,except she was a dark brown.

"Um..." IamwhoIam put her hand in the air, index finger pointing straight forwards. she moved it down slowly and slower until it came to a stop then poke forwards and withdrew faster than light. A hole appeared in the air and she reached the same finger inside it and tried as hard as she could to pull it down and rip it. This one felt like cardboard and it required both hands once the it was large enough, which meant more effort for the mind to focus on the side of the window to the other world.
Once it was large enough, they all stepped through. "My senses tell me that this is where Lyra and Will are."
They looked around. The place looked like it was hit by a bomb. It was just plain blackened earth. Not a single living creature in sight.
"Sorry, I can't cut distances. This is where London is in this world..."

"Well,let's go and find Will and Lyra!They could be in really big trouble!"Rose10 jumped thorugh the porthole.Meeki took her gaze away from Carain and followed."You coming?"Rose10 asked.

Carian put her paw on Meeki's. She said to him in the mind (that's how dæmons do it) he wanted to stay and to watch to keep guard.
"I think I'll stay," he said. He had never spoken to another human other than the one he belonged, so this speech felt weird. "Or are you going to try the splitting so Meeki can go further?" He took his paw back off.
IamwhoIam looked doubtful. "Carian, you know that this won't work. No one's managed to do it without the journey to the world of dead. Even the witches had to do it. You do know that, don't you, so stop testing."
Carian took the shape of the mini dragon and roared, setting light only to a piece of paper on the bed. The fire was so tiny it burnt a pin hole. He growled, baring long, sharp, yellow teeth.

Meeki thought to Carain that she was going with Rose10 because she wanted to stay with her to protect her."Well,let's go!"Rose10 said,grinning even wider.
