The Hunt for Knowledge Obnoxious Airhead
With backpacks slung over their shoulders, the group got their first glimpse of Rio. The airport in Praia do Galeaão fanned out like the spokes on a wheel, with airplanes of every color in the process of loading and unloading their passengers. In the distance a beach could be seen, and Katalea had a momentary longing for a high-speed run in her feline shape down the white sands at home. Two by two, they ambled slowly down the airstairs, trying to find coordination in their limbs after so many hours of non-use. They were met by two lovely assistants, dressed in conservative navy blazers with crisp white shirts beneath. Beecher’s eyes gleamed incredulously when they explained that the group would not need to join the thousands of other travelers at the customs office. They had a private customs area set up just for them. Katalea smiled at Dakari, “Leave it to Grandfather to do things with style,” she messaged him. He discreetly nodded and followed the others to the
The Hunt for Knowledge Siren’s Song
No one moved faster than Luca. He seemed to be at Zinnia’s side before the scream died on her lips. Beecher and Aquina arrived almost simultaneously, with Dakari and Katalea seconds behind them. Surrounded by glass shards, Zinnia hovered three inches off the floor, wings unfurled. She was not purple, nor was the aura she emitted joyful. She looked absolutely heartbroken. Tears streamed down her face, and her body was violently shaking with sobs. Katalea cautiously approached, somehow afraid to cause Zinnia more pain. “Zinnia, what happened? What’s wrong?” She soothed. Zinnia’s sobs decreased as she saw the others. “I don’t want to seem ungrateful. Beecher’s friend let us use this place for free. It is the most beautiful place I have ever seen.” “I’m lost honey,” Aquina joined in, trying to soothe her new friend. “What made you so upset? When you screamed like that, I thought Hassan himself had gotten in.” Zinnia looked from one to the other and her e
The Hunt for Knowledge Shark Bait
Standing outside her partially open door, he could hear her quiet sobs. It tore at his heart that she was hurting. He knocked softly and waited. She didn’t respond but the door slowly opened. She was walking away from him as he entered, not knowing what to do, he just stepped in and waited. He wished for a smart remark that would piss her off. Anything was better than her gloom. “How could anyone be so cruel to them?” She growled. She picked up a towel and began drying her hair, her rage displayed in the aggressive action. Tiny wisps of blue peaked out as if trying to escape. “I don’t know. Some humans seem to see animals as only a means for profit. Maybe keeping them hungry keeps them from outgrowing the pool,” he reasoned. Gulls sounded outside, drawing his attention. He saw a bright multi-colored kite in the distance swaying to and fro in the sea breeze. His attention returned to her as she wrangled her hair into some kind of knot on top of her head. How
The Hunt for Knowledge Shopping Spree
Elbow to elbow people crowded the shopping area. Little store fronts competed for business with loud music and flashing lights. Katalea noticed a few stray dogs that had picked up their scents and were eyeing them with caution. If only the humans here had a clue just what was walking down their streets. Dakari picked up on a cornucopia of languages, but noticed that somehow shoppers and shopkeepers had found a way to converse. “The language of money,” he thought with a smile, and watched as a little blond girl in pigtails ordered a Brazilian version of a snow cone. The girl reminded him of Lainey and he wondered where she was. He knew somewhere out there in the world, the girl that had saved him from certain death at the hands of the weredragons was wearing a bracelet that suddenly was glowing red. He wondered if she had noticed.Luca stopped walking and pulled the group together. “I think we can all find what we need here. Why don’t we split up and meet back her
The Hunt for Knowledge Newly Mated
“What do you think happened?” Katalea asked Dakari as they entered their room.“I couldn’t begin to guess,” Dakari responded. He started to reach for his mate, thankful she hadn’t been hurt or worse. His instinct was to protect, but now a baser, more primal instinct was taking over. He saw the passion he felt reflected in her eyes as she began to make her way to him.There was a knock on the door, a light rapping that suggested someone who wasn’t really sure they wanted to knock to begin with.From where he stood, Dakari moved his index finger and unlocked and opened the door. Beecher strode in, a bag of chips in hand. His head turned as the door closed behind him, his eyes looking for whoever closed the door..“I forget that you guys can do stuff like that. It’s pretty cool.” He rounded on Dakari. “I’m really thirsty, can you make a soda appear?” He laughed at his own joke but jumped when a bottle of water appeared in Dakari’s hand.“Water is better for you,” Dakari said wit
The Hunt for Knowledge Howls in the Night
It took two hours but finally all were ready to head to the airport. Aquina, all smiles after her visit with her family, sat patiently in the car with shopping bags loaded on her lap. With all the shopping that Zinnia did, none were surprised at how crowded the car was. Greeting them at the airfield were the two same beautiful assistants. Their eyes widened at the sight of all the shopping bags but they sent a crew to begin loading the place.“It looks like you all had a fine time in our city,” one called out, looking directly at Beecher, “but you missed an epic party last night.”Distracted, Beecher smiled, but the smile didn’t reach his eyes. “Sorry ladies, other things came up. Maybe next time.” The others could see he wasn’t his usual jovial self and wondered. He knew they were shooting glances at him, but he didn’t care. His thoughts were his own, and for the moment, they were troublesome.He walked up the portable stairs to board the plane and dropped into the nearest
The Hunt for Knowledge Insatiable
Aquina’s eyes narrowed and she noticed five doors, each a different color facing the common area. She made a bee-line to the fanciest door and mumbled a string of curse words as she entered. It was a small room with a small bed and even smaller window. It was a utilitarian beige and had no flavor. Aquina turned back quickly to see if she could change rooms. The others had followed her lead and were all headed to their own doors. “I guess the saying, ‘You can’t judge a book by its cover’ works on doors too,” Beecher teased, poised and ready to open his own door. It was not painted and in fact looked to be made of distressed wood. “If there was any justice you would find a doggie bed inside your door.” Aquina blushed, knowing she had been caught trying to find the fanciest room. He opened his door and gasped. A large waterbed was the focal point in the medium-sized room. The walls were painted in an hombre fashion from a light sea green near the ceiling to a deep dark aquama
The Hunt for Knowledge Wolf Goddess
Rain broke the morning, pounding on the roof as if demanding to be let in. Katalea watched the gray sky lighten through the torrential downpour from the safety of the large, round bed she shared with Dakari. Currently she was trapped under his heavy limbs, but since the day looked so somber she felt no need to hurry extracting herself.She heard noise from the common area and realized that the others had begun to stir as well. The smell of coffee began to waft through the air and she longed for it. It took a few minutes to unwind Dakari off of her, but once she did, the coldness of the room shocked her. She grabbed for her hoodie and flannel pajamas and made her way toward the heavenly scent.As she padded into the kitchen she heard the front door close. It was almost inaudible, but the change in air pressure in the room confirmed her suspicion. Someone had been in the apartment.Three short beeps in quick succession had her head snapping back to the kitchen. Her first irratio
