across the sky.
    â€˜The sky is singing?’ Bast found her tongue first.
    â€˜Not just the sky,’ Avery explained. ‘What you are hearing is the music of the spheres. Each atom in creation resonates to a particular note in accordance with its vibration and movement, which results in the great symphony of the cosmos. This is the most acoustically correct spot, as it were, from which to listen, as this is the most distant location on Kila from our city of Chailida. Civilisation tends to drown out the performance, even in the otherworld and hence I come here for the best seats in the house. I also find a solar storm is a very dramatic addition to the planetary repertoire.’
    â€˜Wow, it’s just incredible.’ Fallon held her hands to her heart, moved to tears by the experience.
    â€˜It’s certainly not boring,’ Bast admitted.
    â€˜Let it never be said that I don’t know how to show a girl a good time.’ Avery lay down between the sisters, feeling rather gratified by their delight.
    â€˜Oh, I feel sure that will never be said,’ Bast retorted in a very fresh tone of voice.
    It infuriated Fallon when her sister flirted with Avery, which Bast only did to mock Fallon’s feelings. Bast hogged every man’s attention just because she could, and Fallon deeply envied her sister’s abundance of charisma and her confidence in wielding it. Fallon knew that if she’d ventured to make the comment first, it would have come out sounding corny instead of seductive.
    A shadow fell over the three of them and a deep grunt startled the girls into a standing position, which spurred Avery to laughter. The sisters, upon spying theupper body of a large stone creature protruding from the ground, began to scream.
    â€˜Avery, do something.’ Bast gave their amused host a kick.
    â€˜Sorry, ladies.’ He composed himself and arose. ‘I know Grom looks ominous, but I assure you he’s harmless.’ Avery addressed the creature directly. ‘What’s up, my stony friend?’
    You know how you wanted me to tell you if I ever saw your brother and sister getting cosy?
    â€˜Yes,’ Avery queried warily.
    They’re looking pretty cosy now.
    â€˜Really?’
    â€˜Really what?’ Bast interjected, as all she heard from the beast was grunts and moans. ‘What’s it saying?’
    â€˜I need to nick off for a bit.’ Avery backed away. ‘I’ll be back before long, but you can will yourselves home at any time.’
    â€˜I’ll wait,’ Fallon responded … a little too quickly she decided in retrospect.
    â€˜Is there any more like him lurking about?’ Bast inquired, pointing to the huge rock creature as it curled back into the boulder from which it had appeared.
    â€˜Everywhere!’ Avery grinned as he began to fade away. ‘But not to worry, I would never leave you two unsupervised in my realm … that would be an accident waiting to happen.’ He chuckled at the thought.
    As Avery vanished, so did the breathtaking Otherworldly surroundings and Bast threw her hands up, most put out to find herself back on the earth plane.

    As they strolled through Central Park on the final leg home, Sparrowhawk and Lirathea’s pace had practically come to a stop, as they laughed and joked about their unseemly state.
    â€˜I don’t want to leave,’ Sparrowhawk protested, and suddenly losing his good cheer, he came to a complete standstill. ‘Why don’t you come with me to Tarazean?’ he asked, knowing it was an impossible suggestion.
    Lirathea gave him that ‘good sense’ expression of hers. ‘I am currently working through the energies of a site on Kila. You know I can’t leave here now, as I truly feel I’m on the verge of a breakthrough in communications with Devachan!’ She announced her results with great excitement, although Sparrowhawk only managed to force a smile
