Kriki's Gift, Chapter 29, Reading 3


The excitement builds as the release of 
Kriki's Gift, Book Two of the Geometry of Power 
draws near.


Flindra sat on a couch in the anteroom with her feet propped up on a stool and had a warm lap rug thrown over her legs. Luta and Anthela were with her to keep the fire going and to see to her needs, but she was no longer aware of their presence. She held the White loosely in her hand and the lids of her eyes were half-closed, reflecting her state of profound relaxation. She'd been very successful tapping into the mysterious energies emanating from the Spirit that resonated through the entirety of His Creation. She had started thinking of this energy signature as the Spirit's Pulse, which is how all the others now referred to it.
She waited with her mind stilled so she could spot any change that would betray the Valkea's presence. Flindra felt very much as if she were staring at the smooth surface of a reflecting pool, just waiting for a ripple to alert her that something was moving within the depths, something now concealed by the glassy facade.
Kalmar and Gegen were present on the edges of her field of awareness and she was pleased. It had been difficult for them to reach this state of relaxation and deep awareness. They were both men of decisive action and resolute energy and initially they had found it challenging to sink into such a state of passive inactivity. Their unrelenting desire to succeed had eventually carried them into this meditative state so they were now all joined together in an awareness of the Spirit's Pulse. Their crystals acted synergistically to strengthen this link so although they were separated by space they were effectively one. They were three hunters patiently waiting for the quarry to come into their field of view so they could spring into action.
