Heres a little...

Chapter 14 ~ Dresden

Ten days at sea. We had our little talk the three of us. We resolved the issues that were plaguing our party. The one thing we had not agreed on was for Jael to learn to fight. She was determined to protect herself and her connections. She did not want to be the weak princess that everyone seemed to think she was. The problem was more Jayden and Elan; Jayden because he was too protective of his twin and Elan because he was disgusted with the thought of teaching a woman to fight.
I had kept silent through the arguments as Jael tried to first persuade in her sweetest manner and then her attempts at convincing using every connection she had. Then she just resorted to demands. It had come to a head the night before over dinner. We were discussing our route once we landed in Sundurnik and what possible routes posed the least amount of danger.

She met my eyes briefly and projected into my thoughts, “This is foolishness. Tell them. I know you agree with me.” She was right. I did agree. The more protection she had, even if she provided it herself, the better. I had been thinking of her gifts and how they might help her in a fight. If she could do something to keep her distance from the enemy…archery. That was it! She could shoot a bow from a hundred yards away and be more effective then any archer in existence. Her ability to see through the eyes of her connected…she could be unstoppable. I wonder if she can see through their eyes without taking over their thoughts and actions. To be able to be everywhere at once, eyes all around the fight…the possibilities were
