The Territories of Halla: After Pendragon

Grudgingly Kara did the same.

After a brief, bumpy trip, they materialized on Denduron.

Kara immediately leaped away.

"Well...we're here! Home, sweet Denduron!" (They materialized outside the flume on the mountain.

Kara glared around.

Alder removed his gigantic sled from its hiding spot. "Hop on!" Anastasia and Albij followed his lead.

Kara slowly followed.

"Everyone on?" Alder asked.
Anastasia looked at Albij. "I didn't know you had sleds on Denduron."
"Alder does."

Kara glared in a different direction.

Alder started the sled downhill with a grin.

Kara held on.

After a few minutes, Adler expertly skidded the sled (which is a toboggan) to a halt.

Kara immediately leaped off and away, shaking her head.

"Well..." Alder said as he hid his toboggan under some shrubbery. "Welcome to Denduron!"

Kara glanced around slightly then closed her eyes.

Alder looked up at the three suns. "Well, it will soon be night and I'll take you guys to my dwelling to rest up. Then, I'll take you to where you'e needed and you'll guide Denduron to its turning point."

Kara snorted.

Alder glanced at Kara. "Cheer up! Denduron's a great place!"

Kara hissed.

"It may not be as lush as Eelong, but it's home!"

"Your home! Not mine!"

"You'll be here for awhile so get used to it."

Kara hissed again.

"Don't hiss at me...you know it's true," Alder chastised her.

Kara hissed again. "I'll hiss at anyone I want to!"
