send troops out east to investigate, and…”

Miller and To-Kan continued their conversation, failing to notice as Wyntr climbed down from the couch and placed her empty bowl down on the squat table next to it.

As quiet as a ghost, Wyntr slipped away from the room and the arguing adults and entered the sleeping chambers. Things were as she had sensed; another window was opening.

She stood off to the side, hiding her small frame behind the raised mattress, and watched as a small window of light grew into existence from nothing, stopping when it reached the size of a dinner plate. Crouching down, she left only part of her face exposed; it wouldn’t do to be spotted.

As expected, another object came flying through the tiny portal, landing softly on the room’s floor. The third such delivery in two weeks, this one was folded paper, unlike the first two squares of lightweight metal.

A second later, the window blinked shut and was gone. Knowing that she no longer had to hide, Wyntr approached the folded piece of paper and plucked it up off the floor.

Opening it, she read:

To whomever receives this message, To-Kan, or Miller. Things did not go very well in the city we encountered. Low on supplies. Really hoping that you get this message in good order and would like to schedule a face-to-face. Perhaps you could send us some food? We are now making our way to the Morning Star on foot. Ratt says we are in the same time zone, so we will try this again tomorrow at noon. Please have supplies ready for us, as it is tiring to keep these windows open for very long. If only you had another transport, we could determine our exact location by the stars and you could send someone to pick us up. Might be in for a long walk. Anyway, talk to you tomorrow.

Love, Maya

Wyntr folded the paper back up and made for the large walk-in closet on the far side of the bedroom. Opening its doors, she beheld the tiny mattress that To-Kan had placed there for her, and the small pile of stuffed animals at its head. She crawled onto her mattress and began moving the toys to one side, revealing a small box that she kept hidden there.

She turned to the bedroom door, her eyes narrowing. She had to make certain that the adults didn’t catch her. Not when she was under the spell of her secret compulsion. Soon she would forget about this whole scenario, but for now, she had toβ€”was commanded toβ€”exercise caution.

A second later, she opened the box, placing the folded note inside it, right on top of the two squares of metal.
