CH22: Hylia

   I stood on the edge leaning over the stone wall, looking down. We stood on the Great Bridge of Hylia waiting for the move to Aydin. It was a long way down to the lake below. It would take serious skill to prevent death on a fall like that. It would be hard standing straight while airborn. It would hurt, but who knows, it could work. I considered the possibilities for a moment.

   "Wizard Key."

   I turned to see who it was. "Your Majesty?" King Edward sat atop his horse with another stallion's reins in hand.

   "This is Lucy." The chocolate brown horse had a marshmellow spot on her left eye. She greeted me with a niegh. "Take care of her."

   I bowed and accepted the reins. "Thank you, sir."

   He nodded. "How many wizards have you assembled?"

   "Seven hundred and sixty-nine. I hope this number is to your liking?"
