“We
can't.”
I
stared at the old wizard. Can't?
“Why
not?”
Tigernach
shifted his staff and leaned against it. “We don't know how.
Frankly, I was surprised when Miach said he'd brought you through to
our world.”
Miach
smirked at that, though the look faded when he caught my gaze. “Just
do whatever you did to bring me here.”
“It
won't work.” Miach shook his head. “I think it was your
connection to the delivery bag that got you through. Without a
similar anchor and a strong magical pull from your world, I don't see
how it could succeed.”
I
shook my head, biting back a laugh. “So this entire trip has been a
waste!” Everything I'd done to get here with Callan's band, just to
be told I couldn't get home? It was too much.
“Perhaps
not a waste.” Tigernach said slowly, motioning around the room.
“You've seen wonders none of your world can claim to have seen. You
helped slay a dragon, and somehow tamed a wraith. You're in the royal
palace, and have met the most prized princess in all the land. What
more could you desire?”
I
stared at him.
If
these people were my only option, then I'd never get home.
Luckily,
I'm friends with a wizard.
“Take
me to the Blue Belle.”
