Another Trick

Dakshana stared, awed and a little afraid, at the snatch of familiar world that opened in the air before her. She could see it, the mouth of the cave where she’d last stood on mortal earth. She took a step forward and faltered. She glanced over her shoulder at Chadstone, but his expression was unreadable.

“Go,” he said. “It’s your way home.”

She started forward again, paused once more. What if he was lying, if this was some other trick? She started to speak, but then a hissing chorus of whispers crept into the edges of her awareness.

The eyes.
