In the meantime continue to lead those that can find their lumen and are of Elios or part Elios descent and if they will chose and accept their oaths then expand the ranks of the mages; glyph and lumen, both mage and master; that the day of the non-potent will soon be a sad memory of the past.
Shane found Soaris waiting patiently when the Arc returned him to the outside once again. He related the experience. Soaris nodded, “You will do a fine job you have a lot of your grandfather in you. You are a strong learner and a hard worker. Your mother and I are extremely proud of you.”
“I didn’t get a chance to mention to you earlier that I cleaned the new city
at Valee. Ahhan told me to tell you.”
“That will make it easier to relocate the many new mages that will be coming soon, thank you.”
“Also,” Shane said as an afterthought, “I would like to offer dwellings for the mages that I am training, in either Yllyan or Valee, how I should take care of that?”
“Just get with you
r mother she will help you with the arrangements.”
“Thanks,” Shane paused not knowing what else to say. “I guess I’ll see you some time later back at the house.”
Both men smiled and they winked out of sight.
Samedi evening arrived and Ava
, Shane, Ari, Louisa, and Gerard all sat at a large dining room table enjoying a fabulous meal prepared by the Desmond’s chef.
Shane and Ari reported that they knew where the movements of the
Infin army were and were going and that with the portal devices that they had been able to extricate all refugees and Luion citizens that had wanted to leave, to get back to Luion before the Crowns troops could capture them. The border was protected but the army hadn’t moved near it yet.
They discussed for a while Ari’s encounter with Wendell and the signs that he was either now an Allyant or Allyant possessed.
The topic eventually changed to Ava and Shane.
“Tell my Shane,” grinned Gerard. “When are you going to make an honest woman out of my daughter?”
“Gerard… Dad,” exclaimed Louisa and her mother at the same time.
Ari just grinned and said, “All that lovey dovey stuff you said when we were sailing all over creation looking for her, I thought you would have proposed by now.”
Shane blushing profusely held Ava’s hand giving it an assuring squeeze. “When I propose to Ava it is going to be somewhere special and romantic and appropriate for the most intelligent, beautiful, and amazing lady that I have ever known and who I love more than I ever imagined possible. And if she says yes, Ari, Just maybe we’ll invite you to the wedding.”
Everyone laughed as the strains of the pending war melted temporarily away
.
“What do you say to changing the topic to warball,” said Ari
“Now you’re talking,” agreed his brother.
Ari was about to relate his first hand thoughts regarding the warball championship
when one of the Desmond’s staff appeared and handed a note to Ava’s father. He looked up all laughter removed from his face.
“
It’s Leslie; she’s been captured and imprisoned by the king.”
Ari was on his feet in an instant
, his countenance an unveiled display of the assassin that his family had never seen. He bowed to his hosts. “Gerard, Louisa, the meal and the company were excellent as always. I’m afraid I need to excuse myself, I have urgent business in Jehhet.” He took two steps and turned and looked at Shane, “You coming?”
