"Nellie, save all work and close all files and monitors."
"Saving." Nellie responded.
Within seconds, all her virtual-ware had disappeared including the book.
She jumped up and ran downstairs to meet Erick. He would be hungry and demanding food at this time.
"Erick!" She called out as she ran out the French doors.
And just as suddenly, she stopped.
With Erick was a beautiful red-haired girl with limpid blue eyes, clinging onto his arm.
Behind them was the white-clad wizard, Raphael Summer. He grinned with mischief and waved at Mira.
Erick pushed the girl's hands away and stepped forward.
"Mira."
"Who…" she gave a vague gesture in the general direction of the girl.
"This is the Princess Corsica Maverin of Emerald. She needs a temporary safe place to stay until things get sorted out where she lives."
