Everybody's Adventure ~ by SaralynArati

Around noon of the next day, Summer Wind returns from her meeting with the Academy Council. She doesn't look as tired as Kanu expected, and he teases her, "Did you suggest that they make the Inner Sanctum pink?" "No, better," his wife replies. "I ran into someone as I was leaving. She wants to see you." And with that, the normally stately Syura flies across the room and throws herself into the arms of her son. "I was hoping you would be able to come to us," she says. "We need you both."

"Nevertheless, it is decided. We'll go as soon as you're ready," she promises. "Don't you have to explain recent events to the Arcane Academy Council? Report that Woe is in custody, tell them that the wand is destroyed, rebuke them subtly for being so foolish as to move it from the catacombs based on a rumor, and all that sort of thing?" Kanu points out. "Well, yes, there is that." Summer Wind sighs. "It means another visit to the Inner Sanctum, I suppose. They're so somber up there."

"Syeha? She's only sixteen, isn't she? How much trouble could she really get into?" Summer Wind asks Kanu, somewhere between teasing and reminiscing about the vast predicaments that she was involved in at that age. "I know," he replies, holding his wife close. "Father, and especially Mother, will be keeping a close eye on her, but if there are problems to find, Syeha will discover them and jump in with both feet, probably." Summer Wind tugs her husband's scalp-lock. "You worry too much."

"Maybe next time we'll include Moon Shadow and Syura, or perhaps even the men," Summer Wind teases her husband. He laughs, but asks seriously, "What shall we do next, then? Would you like to dance on it, or pick something arbitrarily?" "Well, since we were just speaking of your mother, how would you feel about spending a while with your family?" suggests the young mage. Kanu thinks that's a fine plan. In fact, he's been feeling a bit uneasy about his little sister lately, for some reason.
