The winds swirling around Nora, teased her hair, loosening and
pulling it from the coil she’d haphazardly pinned it in. The torn blouse and
stained skirt she wore wrapped around her legs as the winds gave a last
final blast for good measure before dissipating and giving Nora a chance to
regain her balance and look around herself. Her mouth slowly fell open in
shock, the circle of oaks that had moved her to this time and place, was not
a circle of oaks. Instead she stood near a gate of sorts. It had stone supports
with heavy wooden beams on either side, with an archway above, accented
with a keystone in it. Feeling the remnants of a breeze through the gateway,
or portal as it seemed to be, she stepped away from it, confident that the
fates had sent her through it for a reason, and not willing to tempt them into
sending her back too soon.
Assuring herself that all would be well without the circle of oaks she
habitually moved through, she eyed the gated portal once more before
wandering further away from it. “Me circle should still be here
somewhere,” she muttered to herself. Eyeing the forest around her, she
became a little worried. She was stupefied, looking around herself
disbelievingly. All the times she’d been through time, there’d always been a
circle of oaks. It was the only way she knew to get from one time to
another. Why was it not here now?
Suddenly, raucous laughter and guttural voices caught her attention,
giving her only a moment to realize she needed to hide herself away, and
quickly.
Double checking for the canvas bag slung over her shoulder, and
keeping her hold on the precious item concealed within the folds of her
skirt, she darted from the portal she’d found herself beside and squatted
within the dense foliage thirty feet away, completely hiding herself from
whatever chaos was making its way toward her. It wasn’t long before she
recognized their speech as ancient Gaelic, and she was able to see them
approaching from her hiding spot. A band of Orcs, and their leader
apparent, carried an unconscious woman in his arms. An unconscious
human woman. As Nora watched, the woman woke, moaning as she
slammed a hand over her mouth and began to retch. She was dropped
unceremoniously to the ground and didn’t even try to control the nausea and
vomiting that had overtaken her. When her body finally stopped its attack
on her system, she remained on her hands and knees, her head hanging low
as she took slow, ragged breaths.
