Anza Qi Paper Back 6x9

76
The kids mount their horses and ride back to the Qi
Farm. They dismount and walk their horses to the stable
where they groom them before dinner.
Later that night the kids sneak into Anza’s room. Sitting
cross-legged on Anza’s bed, they stare at the antique bow
propped up against the dresser.
Anza senses their interest, "I’ll show you guys the bow
later, but let’s do this first.”
Anza puts on his Magical Transfer Ring and takes the Oracle
Frame from his bedside table. He taps the Oracle
Frame with his ring finger swiping it around as symbols
appear. He taps an icon and Xandr appears on the screen.
“Hi Anza. Who’s that with you?”
The cousins sit with their mouths open in amazement.
“These are my cuz … cousins,” they wave as he calls
their names, “Qingling, Andrew and Longster. His name is
really Longwei, but we call him Longster.”
“My cousins are here too,” Yellow Flower, Little Bear,
and Payta appear and wave as he introduces his cousins.
“We have to be quiet so’s my folks don’t hear”
“Do you know about Katipo?” Anza asks.
“Yes, she appeared as my Huku, and tried to get me to
let her in the Chamber Obscura.”
“Huku?” asks Arthur.
“Sorry. My mother," Xandr looks down with an almost
shy pause, "I didn't let her in or tell her anything. What
does she want from me?"
“She wants the Sacred Oglala Crest.”
“Doesn’t she know it’s on your planet?”
“I guess she’s covering all the bases.”
