Her Rook was quivering a bit, apparently still under the effects of her initial spell so Cela looked at it. "Your turn."

Obligingly it hopped. 1 and 2 then pause. Cela flicked her wand to adjust the angle and it hopped again. 4. She turned it again and it hopped 6, but it didn't wait for her to turn it OR turn itself, so once again it ended up on the lines.

"Okay. Come back." The Rook drag-shuffled its way back to the start and Cela stroked it encouragingly like it was one of her pets.

Tibi smiled and looked back to his piece, which was hopping in place lightly.

"Ok guy. Hop, carefully, like before. You were doing well. Get to the end without tripping."

Tibi's voice had a bit more confidence than before as his piece sauntered up to the court. One definitive hop. Two definitive hops. The piece paused and then leaped over three and landed deftly on four.

Tibi held his breath. Hop to six. Seven. The piece paused. After a moment, another hop to eight. And then nine.

Tibi exhaled noisely and clapped his hands together. "He made it!" Tibi beamed. He'd done it. He'd actually done it!

"Ok, now come back!" Tibi was on a roll. The spell had clearly been strong enough and his piece was doing its thing.

Hop. Hop. Hop. Hop. LEAP. Hop. Hop.

And back!
