Free The Eye of Elicion: The Kinowenn Chronicles Vol 1 by Rachel Ronning Page B

He decided that in some cases, it was better that she should find out accidentally that she could do some things. Thinking she should be able to do certain things, trying too hard, and failing at first could become discouraging. He definitely did not want Lucy discouraged.
    Lucy plopped into her chair at dinner and told Gavin and Maya how much she had loved her riding class. Maya was happy for her.
    “See, I told you it would go ok. I admit, I’m a little jealous. Like I said earlier, I still don’t ride well. We should go riding together some Saturday, and you can share with me the secrets of instant success,” teased Maya.
    “Riding would be fun sometime, but I can’t share with you something if I don’t know how I do it,” replied Lucy. She was glad she could say something completely true without revealing she had talked with Ash.
    “Sorry Maya, she can’t ride this Saturday, I’m going to try to teach her how to use a bow without injuring herself,” said Gavin with smile.
    “I think it might be a lost cause,” teased Lucy. “Are you sure you are up to the challenge?”
    “I still can’t believe it went that poorly.”
    “Believe it,” Lucy assured him.
    “If you change your mind, let me know.”
    “Ok.”
    Gavin amused the group by telling them the events of his potions class. He liked classes that had simple instructions he could follow. He had trouble with some magic, and he wasn’t attuned to the subtlety that potions could involve, but he could handle the basics. He was amused by how wrong things could go when someone was incapable of following simple instructions. A girl in his class, he didn’t name names to protect her, managed to add twice the required amount of Potamogeton crispus. Normally it could be used to bring down inflammation in the legs, but, with these other ingredients and adding too much, it had a reverse effect. Her potion started spewing blue smoke and anything it touched began to swell. It took Nicodemus a good ten minutes to get the class under control and put everyone right. Lucy smiled at the story. She felt bad for the girl, but it sounded like amusing things like this happened often, and since no one was hurt, it was ok to laugh a little.
    Maya took a last bite of cookie and stood up. “I’m going to a lounge to study. Coming?”
    “I’m going to grab one more dinner roll, then I’ll be there,” said Gavin picking up his stack of books.
    “I’ll just grab my books from my room and meet you there. Someone want to quiz me on magical water plants of Kinowenn?” asked Justin.
    “No problem, but only if you return the favor and quiz me on verb tenses,” Maya glanced at Lucy.
    “I do have some reading to do, but I’m tired and sore. I think I’ll get in my pajamas, cuddle into bed, read, and then call it an early night.”
    “Sounds like a good idea. Tomorrow?”
    “Sure,” Lucy got up and walked to her room.
    It was one of the few times Lucy had walked around the place without Justin walking with her. She found she kind of missed him. Once in her room she did put on her pajamas and crawl into bed with Spells for Everyone . It was a highly interesting book and Lucy had fun flipping the pages with her mind. Lucy reached the end of her assignment, closed the book and stretched. She was going to be sore tomorrow. She snuggled under her blankets, thanked her moonstones, and fell asleep.

Chapter 10
    Lucy woke up the next morning and groaned as she climbed out of bed. She had learned one thing. Tuesdays and Thursdays were going to be hard on her body. She ate breakfast and went to Intro to Other Worlds.
    Kara jumped right into lectures about other worlds, asking them to keep all her previously asked questions in mind. Lucy was an attentive student and excited to learn. She settled back on her cushion. However, Lucy quickly learned that not every world was to her liking, and it would be difficult to hang on Kara’s every word for worlds that held no interest for
