Kenah stood up from the bench that surrounded her garden’s central fountain. She tried not to fidget as she watched Morgan approach from the estate house.

Morgan looked troubled as she stopped and said, “I’ve done what you asked. Trent’s a real mess. I had no idea... but I’ve done what I can.”

Kenah smiled and embraced Morgan. “I’m sure it’ll be enough,” she whispered.

Morgan nodded, but the haunted look on her face remained.

From where he sat at the beat up folding table that passed for his dining table, Trent watched Kiah stare out the window at the storm. Light had begun to illuminate the eastern mountains. Trent was glad to see the sun beginning to rise.

“So,” Trent called, “You say you need my help. And I’ve got it on good authority that’s true.”

Kiah turned back to Trent. He gave the man the once-over, then their gazes met. “You’ve looked better.”

Trent chuckled to himself without any humor. “No kidding. Having everyone you cared about die around you has an effect on a person. The last time you were here, you destroyed my life. I should put a gun to my head and pull the trigger. It’s gonna end the same way.”

Kiah crossed over to Trent, but didn’t sit at the rickety table. He looked down at the Seer and studied his face. “I can’t guarantee that what I need to do won’t have its risks.”

Trent shook his head and replied, “No shit. What is it this time?”

“Kenah’s brother has gone rogue.”

Cursing again, Trent stood up and retrieved a box of breakfast cereal from a cupboard. He placed it and a bowl and spoon on the table, then added a carton of milk from the fridge.

“As a Seer, you possess the ability to sense where a rogue might be.”

Thumping back into the folding chair, Trent shook his head. “You don’t have one of those damn SoulStars with you?”

Kiah hesitated, then replied, “I’m not a SoulChaser any longer. I was promoted to Guardian. Even if I had a SoulStar, I wouldn’t be able to use it.”

To himself, Trent muttered, “Well, that’s a comfort, at least.” Then he mulled over what Kiah had said, turning his attention back to the taller man. “Wait a minute, you’re not a SoulChaser anymore?”

“No.”

“Then why are you here?”

Kiah inhaled deeply, then explained the situation as concisely as he could.

Trent sat back and listened, stunned by what he heard. When the story ended, he asked, “So, you’re a rogue now, too?”

“No, I’m a Guardian. I can appear in Mortality whenever I want without needing a host body.”

Raising his eyebrows in approval, Trent nodded.

“However, I haven’t been granted the authority of a Guardian, as Kenah and I have recently had a child and I’m supposed to be taking time off.”

“A kid? That’s great!” Trent exclaimed, wondering how he could still be surprised after the night he’s had.

Nodding, Kiah smiled.

“So, you’re basically here to find Levahn and keep him safe until a SoulChaser can send him home?”

Kiah nodded in agreement.

Taking a bite of cereal, Trent pondered something that had just occurred to him.
