laughed.
                  I floated the poles and heavy plates to the archery range. I shielded as I walked to the line, out of habit, and walked out to the targets. There were a few men shooting a dozen rows down so I didn’t think that there was any danger of getting hit. Besides, my shield was more than a match for arrows. I drove the rods into the ground and fused the plates to the tops of them. I then walked back to the line and snapped off a couple low power energy bolts, just because I could. The archers had stopped and were all staring at me. I waved and went inside the castle for lunch.
                  When I went into the kitchen for lunch it was a completely different situation than breakfast had been. The staff welcomed me back warmly and pulled out a chair for me. They asked how my tour of the city had gone and I told them some of what I’d seen and done. We chatted like old friends until I was done eating. I told them that I was going to be in my room if they needed me for anything and I went upstairs. I kicked off my shoes and lay on the nicely made bed to think. I was asleep in minutes.

                   I woke to a soft kiss and peeked through a crack in my eyelids. I was surprised to see that it was Amee and not Amber that was doing the kissing! I moaned softly but loud enough for everyone that I knew was close to hear, “Oh, Amber!” I put my arms around Amee and pulled her to me, kissing her passionately. I sat up and grinned as I released her. She was blushing and backed against the wall behind her.
                  She said, “Davie, you knew that was me! Why did you do that? Not that I’m complaining!”
                  I laughed along with the girls in the room, “Remember, when you play a joke on me, who my mother is. I grew up with the Princess of Ornery and had to learn to defend myself.”
                  As the room quieted down, I noticed that Amee was dressed in the Wizard’s uniform. The old tattered dress I’d seen her in before didn’t do her justice and the tight material covering her backside was calling to my hands. I smiled to myself and then noticed the packages that the girls were still carrying. I was told that they had found quite a few very nice things that fit well. They had also ordered clothes from the tailors in Valeview, Rosenwood and Perlsea.  Mom and Lia said that they would take care of picking the clothing up and bringing it here. The girls disappeared to their rooms to put away their new clothes.
                  My mother told, “Taking them shopping was the most fun I’ve had in ages! The girls had come from poor families and usually only had second-hand clothing. This was the first time that they’d ever been able to have something tailor made for them.”
                  My girls, except for Amee, changed their clothes and I suggested we go outside so I could show my mother the place I thought she could train Amee.
                  As we walked downstairs, my mother slipped me the bag of money that she’d brought back. She teased playfully, “I think that you should put this up in case we need to go on another shopping spree!”
                  We went to the archery range and I showed them the poles that I’d set up for targets and the nice clear area that could be used for flight training. Mother instantly went into training mode and had Amee sit on the ground across from her. I took the other girls back out of the way a few yards and sat on the grass. Amber sat on my lap with the other three girls sitting closely around us.
                  We watched as Amee was put through the very basics of Novice training, starting with a repeat of her telekinesis from this morning. Next was shields , and a handful of gravel was tossed at her, causing her to squeal and giggle.  They ran through healing
