The Keeper
“I tossed and turned and squirmed and dreamed. Finally, in a cold sweat, I rose, dressed and went outside and sat on the stone slab by the door with Harry Two and stared up at the emerald dome and beyond that to the sky over the Quag. This coming light, Astrea said, we would start our training. I had no idea what that would entail and it was a bit unnerving. Well, more than a bit actually.
As I sat with Harry Two, the door opened and there was Delph in his long nightshirt. He didn’t look like he... had slept either. In his bare feet, he sat down next to me.
“Like old times,” he said. “When we were up your tree.”
Though that wasn’t very far in the past, it seemed so long ago that I could barely remember it.
“Yeah,” I said absently, still staring at the dome.
“You said Astrea wants us to go across this place now.”
“She wants us to fight.”
“These Maladon blokes?”
“Right.”
“But we don’t know nuthin’ ’bout ’em.”
“I guess that will be part of the training, Delph.”MoreLess

I cannot believe I read this book for children. My only excuse is because of the Covid-19 lock down. Shame on me.Write Review:
