Kel sighed again with impatience. They had visited Urala Geothermalno yesterday, but it seemed like years ago to Kel.
“Kel?” said a voice near the door.
Kel turned to face Daja. “What?”
“I was wondering if you wanted to practice staff fighting with me.”
Kel brightened. “Sure!”
They practiced for the next hour. At the end, both were sweating.
“Now I think I’ll take a nap,” said Kel, yawning.
Kel woke up three hours later to giggling. “What do you want?”
Tris and Sandry looked up. “Oh, nothing.”
Kel stared out the window, watching waves slap against the rocks. “I’m am being like a ‘Do Miere A’vron’ (RJ), a watcher over the waves. I want to be ‘Rhyagelle,’ (RJ) those who come home.”
“Wow,” said Tris. In her head, she said to Sandry, *Wow, she does want to go home.*
*I know. That’s why we’re helping her, and them.*
*Hey! What if I bring her on a tour of Kugisko?* asked Daja.
*That might work!* chorused the other two.
“Hey Kel,” said Daja, walking into the room. “I was wondering if you wanted to go for a tour of Kugisko.”
“Sure,” replied Kel, getting ready to go.
