Chapter 9 - Encala Ancient

“She’s tried twelve times. She needs a break,” Chevalier growled.

“I’m ok, I can try again,” Emily said from the bed.

“He’s right, you need to rest,” Maleth said, standing up from the chair by the fireplace.

“We all could use a night off,” Mark added, and looked around at the fifteen gathered heku.

“I’m not taking medicine to make me sleep,” she said, frowning.

“It’s the only way to stop the attacks. You need a rest,” the doctor said, holding the shot in his hand.

“Touch me with that thing and I’ll ash you again,” she glared.

The doctor took a step back. He remembered the pain of her fury.

“Emily, for me… please,” Chevalier asked, softly.

“No”

Emily screamed as she felt the pinch in her arm and turned, shocked to see Kyle standing beside her with the needle. The doctor looked down at his empty hand, confused.

“You can ash me later,” Kyle said, grinning as she fell to the bed.

“You’re either very brave or one stupid heku,” Chevalier said, shaking his head at Kyle, “But welcome back.”

Kyle grinned, “Mark filled me in out in the hallway.”

As soon as the room cleared out and Kyle was hidden in the corner, Chevalier turned off the lights and curled up next to Emily. He hated the way she smelled after medicine. To him it was almost like sleeping by a stranger. He knew she needed this though.

It was like looking down a dark hallway. As he emerged, he stepped out into the foyer of a grand palace. There were golden statues and white marble pillars with bouquets of red roses lining the red carpet runners.

Chevalier sat up suddenly and looked around.

“What’s wrong?” Kyle whispered from the corner.

“I don’t know… it was a palace, red carpets and flowers… I don’t know where it came from. Just an image,” he said, confused.

“Is it Emily’s dream?” Kyle suggested.

“I haven’t been able to do that for two months, not since she left for Colorado.”

“Try again, see what you get.”

Chevalier touched her arm and suddenly grew still.

“Good evening,” the heku said, bowing deeply.

“Most honorable Ancient,” another heku said, bowing.

A large wooden door opened to a lavish court room. The Encala banner hung from behind the platform.

“Kyle… she’s seeing the Encala’s council room. I’ve been there before, and she’s seeing it exactly. I don’t think she’s been there,” Chevalier said.

Kyle stepped out of the shadow, “Can she pull information from you?”

“Not that I’ve seen,” Chevalier thought. “When I’m there… I’m the Ancient, I see through his eyes.”

“Could the connection be permanent then? Something he uses at will, but is always there?”

Chevalier reached down and touched her arm again.

“They did not return, as expected,” one of the Encala Elders said.

“Did they see her?”another member of the Council asked the Ancient.

“Yes, I caught images of her from them.”

Chevalier felt the fury when the Ancient spoke again, “She is mine and I want her… now!”

“Patience, please, ancient one. We will get her,” the Elder said, smiling.

“She will soon do as I ask and kill the Equites Council.
