The view was not exactly spectacular, but it was certainly natural. The heroine who presided over the great swamp tended to dissuade people from doing anything which disturbed the natural order there, and she was one of the most powerful Ultras in the world, even if her power extended only to the boundaries of her wetland territory.This was the first chance June had had to take a break since arriving and the fresh air was feeling particularly good as she pulled in a deep breath and watched the sunlight glinting off the light ripple in the surface of the water. Contacting Ever was not a particularly easy thing to do, but June figured if she stood there and waited, the goddess of the Everglades would turn up if she had an inclination to do so.There was an odd sound, like water rushing up a plug hole, and then a soft, beautiful voice said, ‘It is a pleasure to see you again, June.’June turned and smiled at the woman who had appeared on the dock just behind her. ‘I told Cygnus I’d try to say hello if I got any chance to.’Ever smiled back.
