    George shrugs.  “Well you can’t blame the lady, she just realized someone she has been genetically programmed to trust and look up to, has possibly been out to destroy her for centuries.  Give her a minute to decide whether or not she wants to trust her gut again.”
    Carrick reaches over and takes his friend’s hand.  “Morna, now is not the time to start doubting yourself.  Go with your gut.  Your instincts are good.  They always have been.  You know that.”
    Morna nods and then says, “George, Maria, please forgive me.  George I would be grateful for your help, brother.  Maria, please keep an eye on Sammy.”
    No sooner had Morna mentioned Sammy, than they hear her scream from her quarters.  Damian gets to her first.  They find her in her quarters.  It appears as though she has been sleeping in bed but something disturbed her.  “Luca!  Oh Morna, they are sending Trolls to attack Luca at some cottage in a little valley.  I don’t recognize the place.  He is alone and outnumbered, there are so many of them.  Morna, Ari and Aideen were there, too! They are both acting crazed!  What does this mean?”
    Bronwyn looks at Morna, “Could Ari and Almeda have blocked her visions while they were here?”
    Morna shrugs, “I don’t know, but if anyone can do that they probably could.  Elves are certainly more powerful than we are.  We have to go now to help Luca!  Carrick, Elias, get Enya and go find my father. I think they are searching near the Coral gateway near the Great Barrier Reef.  Use your finder spell, it should take you straight to him.  Meet us at my cottage near Airendell.  Be careful!  Maria, watch the gateway.  Brigid, go relieve Enya.”
    Elias lightly grabs Morna’s shoulder.  “I think I could be of more use with you Morna.  I am no longer a child.  I am a man fully grown, trained as a warrior, by you I might add.  Let me stand by your side.  I have fought Trolls before.  Damian, Breena and George have not.”  Morna nods and heads out to the arsenal.
    Everyone follows except for Brigid who has gone to get Enya. As Morna is handing weapons out to Damian, George, and Breena and the other warriors are arming themselves, she instructs Maria.  “Keep Sammy safe.  Any who attempt to pass through this gate who are not part of our group that you know, must be held off until we know what is going on.  Can you handle that?” 
    Maria nods.  “I can keep anyone from using this gate.  And I will protect Sammy like my own child.”
    Morna hugs Sammy quickly and takes off at a run for Airendell.  Maria calls out to her, “Are you sure Luca is in his right mind?”
    “Yes, I believe that Ari will only be able to confuse him.  At most, plant seeds of doubt in his mind.  I am confident of that.  Luca is too strong for anyone to assume control of his mind.  You don‘t understand the precision with which his mind works,” calls Morna over her shoulder.

    They have been running for a couple hours now and Morna‘s fear is growing.  She has been unable to link with anyone using the Elvish mind link.  She is fearful that they will reach Luca too late.  She wonders why she has been unable to get through to warn him. But now they are nearly there.  She lets the others know this, and warns them to be on the lookout for Trolls because they are entering a bad area for them. 
    George struggles to catch up with Morna and asks, “How are we covering more ground in less time?” 
    “I’ve used spells and short cuts. I wasn’t able to do this the other night, I didn‘t remember how until now and I am stronger than I was then.  It’s complicated,” Morna says when she sees George’s confusion.  “Look George, with the spells I used today we have all been running much faster than you realize.  It takes a toll on my aura‘s power, but it’s worth it.  We must make good time.  Luca may be in danger at this very moment!”  She
