Whispering, Julia asks Jon, “Where is the portal?”
“I don’t know for sure. I’ve never gone through it from this side.”
“You don’t know where it is?” she asks not believing what she has just heard.
“No my Sweet Lady…. But you can be sure that we will find it, or it will find us.”
“Well, whatever happens, I hope that it happens soon, because it looks to me like that English nobleman’s patience is beginning to wear thin.”
A buzzing sound, which is very strange to the English, can be heard coming from somewhere on the rock. Jon and Julia, hear Daniel command, “Back and to your right, all of you. Throw the balls now!”
Holding out her hand, Julia calls to Running Deer, “Running Deer… here, now!”
Running Deer sprints over to join them, at the very moment both Julia and Jon throw the balls to the ground. Great amounts of smoke begin to rise into the air. Daniel and his staff grab Julia, Jon and Running Deer, pulling them through the portal.
The English dismount and quickly start running toward the rock formation, where they last saw the three that they were after. Because of the lingering smoke, they fling their arms from side to side trying to feel another body, hoping that it is one of the three that their commander has ordered them to capture; to their demise they end up grabbing one of their fellow soldiers instead.
Finally the smoke fades away.
“Where are they?” shouts the English nobleman.
“We can’t find them,” a soldier reports in frustration
“They can’t just disappear. I want everyone to surround the rock. If we can’t find them here, then get on your horses and scour the country side. They don’t have horses, so they won’t be able to go very far. This time I will take her to the King myself.”
One of his soldiers makes a statement, “I thought that Jehanne had been captured all ready.”
“I am well aware of what she looks like. That was Jehanne! You can mark my word on it,” the nobleman states with confidence.
“Sir, we will look. But when we get back, if we haven’t found her I’d be asking some questions about Jehanne before you start saying that we had her in our hands.”
“Good point, Soldier. It’s best not to look stupid isn’t it?”
“Yes Sir.”
