Pythoness: and Harthenham: BEYONDERS

Ok, so we left off where Rachel and Jason are going to the Pythoness's lair.  They are going through the water and it takes two days to get there.  Jasher rows all day both days.  (Big muscles - that’s hot!)  Anyway, excuse my teenage girl romance phase.  All girls go through it I expect.  I have a big crush on Jasher. 

Anyway, back to the story.  They arrive at this tree that is on a small island with a bunch of snakes on it.  It’s Jason's turn to take the risk so Rachel stands watch and he goes inside the tree.  He starts losing memory of the outside world as he gets deeper.  Why is he in a tree?  Wasn’t he supposed to be finding a word?  What word?  He couldn't remember.  What was his name?  He finally came to the end of the tunnel where he meets a girl who lives there.  She asks him who he is and he doesn't remember.  She then takes a puffball from the wall which she says is a mushroom and sticks it below his nose.  He remembers who he is, and what he's looking for, and who sent him.  She then gives him some cheese and sap and then water, and he tells about Galloran, and what he's become.  The girl said her mother was the real Pythoness, and died not long before Jason came.  Her mother had passed down the syllable to her, and she told it to him.  It was Rim.  They talked for a little bit.  He thought she was cute and liked her a lot.  She was only abou15 and had fair skin, blonde hair, and blue eyes.  She gave him some puffballs to take back so he could remember their conversation.  He starts walking out of the tree and forgets where he was.  Wasn’t he supposed to go in the tree?  Had already gone in the tree?  What happened?  Rachel asks him what happened and he sticks the puffballs to his nose and tells her.  After that, all three of them go into the tree, and none of them remember who they are.  They sleep there for the night because they don't want to have to deal again with the possibility of getting attacked by snakes.  So they sleep there for the night.  She tells them where the last syllable is.  It is at Harthenham, tattooed on Kimp's shoulder blade.  How lucky.  Jason was invited to the feast at Harthenham.  In order to get the word, they decide that Jason needs to attend the feast at Harthenham, but he must leave.  We’ll stop here.
That's a wrap,
DINGBAT OUT!!!!!
