she spent on her Aunt Marie’s farm when she was a kid.  That had been one of the happiest times in her life, next to meeting Dean of course.
    As Storm Kar put the girl down on the ground again, he turned his head and spotted Simone.  He instantly became self-conscious.  His face became closed and he tensed up.  His reaction put her on edge, and the moment of joy she experienced evaporated.  Subconsciously brushing down her dress, she headed over to join them.
    “Good morning,” she said, giving him a stiff smile.  “It is morning on this planet, isn’t it?”
    “The sun has not finished its transit in the House of the Skylark, so it is technically still morning,” Storm Kar said portentously.  He fell silent and looked down at his moccasins.
    “Well, that’s great I guess,” she replied in a deadpan voice and went quiet too, not sure what else to say either.
    As soon as she’d joined Storm Kar the children had stopped playing and gathered into a close group behind the Shaman Scientist, and peered at her shyly.  Simone gave them a friendly grin and bent down to speak to them.
    “Hey there,” she said brightly.  “Who are you guys?”
    The children giggled and huddled closer to together.  Storm Kar gave them a stern look.  “Go back to the citadel,” he ordered.
     
    The children flew off like a flock of birds in the direction she had just come from.  She watched them go and smiled at Storm Kar.  “They’re adorable,” she said and then frowned when she suddenly thought of something.  “They’re not yours, are they?”
    “If you mean did I sire them, the answer is no,” Storm Kar drawled.  “They are the young of my tribe.  After our lessons, I permit them some free time to play.”
    Simone gave him an appraising look.  “You’re a teacher?”
    “In a manner of speaking,” Storm Kar replied.  “I instruct the young ones in the secret names of the plants and the trees and explain what properties they possess.  When they reach the age of adulthood and become Braves, it will be important they know what plants and herbs could heal them and what could kill them.  I also teach the art of meditation and attuning to the frequency of the Great Spirits.  Those not suited to becoming warriors may have the gifts to become Shaman Scientists or Healers.  It is my job to determine which role will suit each young one the best.”
    Simone nodded.  “I saw some younger people training back in the courtyard.  Are you guys expecting trouble?”
     
    “Where we are now, the territory of the Mystic Folk is quite safe,” Storm Kar replied. 
    “But great swathes of the Vision Land are not so lucky.  Many crueller and aggressive tribes vie for supremacy, and we must be ever vigilant against attack from our enemies.”
    “Are you worried about invasion?”
    “It is possible,” Storm Kar said, “but through Grazing Elk Woman’s wise leadership, we have striven to foster good relations with the tribes closest to our territory.  We have been quite successful, and there is talk of a great coalition being formed if the planets are in alignment.”
    Simone thought about this.  “Your people are really into your spiritual sides, aren’t you?”
    Storm Kar raised an eyebrow.  “You regard it as nonsense?” he asked, an edge of challenge in his deep voice.
    “Not exactly,” Simone said quickly.  “There are plenty on Earth who do, but I . . . I like to keep an open mind.”
    “There are many frequencies of reality,” Storm Kar said with authority, “there are universes within universes and there is science that appears more like magic.  Your people have so much to learn, but sacrifices come with knowledge.”  He fell silent and his face became grim.  He shot her a sideways look. 
    “I assume that your being here means you are willing to agree and spend a month here?” he asked, changing the subject.
    Simone nodded.  “I’m not happy about it, but it looks like I don’t have
