Waking up Rowan felt little off. She flung her blanket off and went to get dressed. Her normal routine was shower, getting dressed,tea and work. Today though she got dress in what felt like yesterday day clothes, made has hers , eggs and bacon in which she she some how was engrossed by rioting going on in Northern Ireland over immigration. Walking out She ended up doing some qigong in a back yard she did have that looked very like sand rock zen Buddha monstrous. Rowan frozen side she wasn’t in fact in her body but Corbins. She’d been going through the motions that she’d not realize to look at her body or reflection.

As Corbin walked to his motorbike Rowan was excited yet little afraid since she’d never really rode a bike before. He flipped the gears slammed his helmet on and put on the gas. Unlike what she thought when Corbin pulled out of parking lot he rode gently. He took everything in and his breathe was soft and gentle. She found peace and calm when she was allowing the scenery flood past her. She had not even realized he’d parked and had started to her house. A sigh of mixed emotions seemed to be coming from Corbin. “Ahhh Lordy I hope she’s going be feisty today she’s going to need it.” He rumbled in gentle Barton. Knocking on the door of her traction Irish white cabin that had bright green door. “Come in Corbin my tea is almost done” opening the door Rowan found a thin short lady in white knitted top with tight foot ball under shirt under it and dark jeans stuffed in rocky combat boots. Corbin seemed to be feeling little uneasiness and anxious. “ have ye hears about Gavin and Lydia.” Rowan turn to reflect on this question on why this question bothered Corbin more than it did her. “Yes , I hope Lydia playing this game won’t get her in trouble later. Especially since Gavin is not her real goal.” Corbin seemed to relax as if load had lifted. “ always seeing things as they are .”Corbin whispered to himself. “Aye don’t really think Gavin was paying much attention at the Galla last night. I think he was missing certain someone who decided not to come.” Rowan eye bolted up to Corbin and the feeling of warmth,love and Kindred feeling swirled around Rowan. She felt Corbin brother love and acceptance as he waited to see if she’d take his jibe. “ Ahhh you mean Jessica didn’t make it? He most have lost been lost in without his right wing man.” She responded with green eyes that held mischief. Corbin laughed and grinned wide ,” Aye that to… but lass why did you not show? Your grant aunt ain’t going to know what you look like.” He strode to the other side of the table and sat. She shook her head and starred out the window allowing her brown red hair to flow from her ponytail framing her heart shaped face. “ He’s moved on and I can’t take back saving you my dear friend. “ she gently grabbed his hand gave it squeeze and left his favorite cookie in it. Love admiration and concern brewed in his chest. Determination and challenge was forming ,” Not going happen girl. Gavin loves you lass and he’s world faded without you.” There was ghost grin on her face “ it been two Millennia I feel anyone would mend and move on my friend. I’m going to be his friend, nothing more. Plus before you say anything the Gate has been activated and I have face more challenges before I can truly settle here.” Corbin seemed to listen but the fire of determination was not diminished but given a steady glow within. She felt him saying to himself no lass I will not let you lose this round.

Loss how did she lose ? Gavin was still alive and that was enough. She could solve the gate puzzle get her youth disciples out and get them to elder level. That was her problem not this dream, yet she felt Corbin’s need to help her. She felt her brother partner need to help her. She always love Corbin , but she hadn’t realized how much. Loyalty and friendship are rare and she’d know they cared , but she didn’t realized how much. Her view began to fade and felt cold like she was being ripped from the warm fuzzy cabin to cave
