Chapter 2541 The Unexpected Gift:>71
- The Mysterious Monolith:
- I awoke from the dream and sat up to get a bearing on my surroundings. I was in my own bed and quite alone. I guess Fiona and Cassie were giving me a break after my ordeal. I shuddered despite the fact that it was over and Melody was long gone. I got up and decided to check up on my sleeping cohorts. The house was silent as I looked in on the two sleeping women. Cassie was flat on her back underneath the covers sleeping soundly. Fiona however was sprawled on top of her blankets in a semi fetal position. As I turned to head back to my room I heard a soft sound from below. I quietly moved down the stairs on bare feet and saw a figure silhouetted by the street lights streaming through the window in the kitchen. She was petite yet quite curvaceous and then I knew by the gentle swish of her tail that it must be Isiz. I hadn't seen her much since her transplantation from her island home. She had been eagerly accepted into the 'near-human' community with open arms. She had taken up a position as a kind of spiritual leader and was quite busy with political and economic dealings.
- "I've started a pot of coffee," she said not turning to face me. "I hope you don't mind me letting myself in."
