“Do you think we’ll shift?” Delton asked.

Sage sat in the sunroom watching Ryan and Tempe exercise their magic. Now that his new powers had manifested Tempe had really upped his training schedule while Sage sat on the sidelines, again.

“Why do some of your merfolk have legs? And why do some of those with legs have fins and others have toes?” Seven-year-old Mia looked up in surprise. She was paging through Star’s sketchbook. She loved looking at all the creatures from the Farseen. One day she would go there. She would be a great explorer and have wonderful adventures and perhaps Fae bards would write songs about her.
“You don’t know about river merfolk and sea merfolk?” Star asked in surprise.
Spoiler Alert. This flash fiction takes place in the first half of Enthralled (Farseen Chronicles Book 2).

Star looked through her folder of documents needed in the Seen. It looked a lot like a similar folder she had in the Farseen. Beings of so-called higher intelligence always had paperwork.

Tehuti and Kailani huddled in the relative safety of the Kaveri River near the royal residence of Lord Ellwood. His realm was the only one where those who were different could live in peace… if they could garner the good will of one of his half-breed daughters. With their patronage, safety was assured.
