The Journal of Finnegan MacCullen: Sunday, October 20

Four days to go. She’s coming back on Thursday. I have GOT to pass the trial!

The Journal of Gideon Lir: Sunday, October 20

Finn’s level of anxiety is matched by mine. But, for this evening, I was able to lay aside the burden and enjoy the company of an old friend.

In spite of everything, a new joy.

“I need more of that potion,” Finn said over breakfast the next morning. “Do you think Iona can give us enough so that I can practice, as well as be ready for Thursday?” The thought of the Scáthach made his stomach rebel; he forced another spoonful of his oatmeal down, hoping it wouldn’t come back up later.

“I’ll ring her shortly.” Gideon sat with his hands cradled around his mug, a crease between his black brows. Finn noticed his breakfast was only half-finished. His master cleared his throat.

“Finn?”

“Yes, sir?” He waited a few minutes. “Gideon?”

“There is another way. We could flee…”

“No! You’re not giving up your Knighthood. And I’m not giving up on the chance to be a Knight. Uh-uh, no way. Not going to happen.”

Leaning back in his chair, Gideon studied him, the line between his brows smoothing away. “Certain, you are, that you will pass this first trial, eh?”

“No. I think it’s going to be an epic fail. But, I’m not giving up without a fight. Heck, you taught me that.” He’s taught me a lot of things.

“Well stood, MacCullen.” He pushed away from the table. “We best fetch more of the brew, then.”
