Chapter Fourteen

Exodus

“Sometimes it’s not the how that matters, but the what.”

-Excerpts from The Diary of the Adopted Sister

Legon should have felt nervous, but he didn’t. He didn’t because he already knew her answer. The thing he was having a hard time with was deciding how to do it.

Iselin looked at him, her eyebrow raised, fighting a smile. “You don’t have to do this, ya know. Elves aren’t humans.” She pointed out for the millionth time.

“I know, I know, but it just seems so wrong to me. Look, I didn’t ask your father’s permission. I’m going to do this the right way.”

Iselin rolled her eyes. “We don’t do that… do not get on your knee…”

“Iselin, I love you more then anyth…”

She huffed, cutting him off. “Yes, the answer is yes. We’re mentally connected, have you forgotten we have a date picked out? We just need to get the crests on our back taken care of.”

Legon ground his teeth. “Fine. That was some proposal! Why am I going to spend the rest of time with you again?” Iselin rolled her eyes again, and Legon felt her call Sydin. It had been three months since they said that they were in love and now they were engaged. It was all so simple to him. Like she said, Elves didn’t even propose. Both parties came to the decision to get married and that was it. He remembered when that happened for him and Ise. Two nights ago when on a walk, they both just seemed to know. There was no pageantry about it, no ring, no nothing; they knew and that was that.

Soon Sydin came strolling to them at the place on the same little bridge where they stood not so long ago.

Sydin smiled warmly. “What can I do for you, Un Prosa?” he asked.

Legon squeezed Iselin’s hand. “We’re getting married, can you fix our crests?”

Sydin beamed. “About time you two, that’s great news. Did you tell your sister?”

Iselin laughed. “How could she not know?”

“Turn around, this will only take a moment,” Sydin said.

Legon turned and saw two flashes of black. There was a cold spot on his back and then everything felt normal. He craned his neck around to see Iselin’s crest on her back, a vivid pink that stood out. In the center, where there used to be a solid dot, now the dot was hollow. It would stay that way until they were married, and then his crest would be placed in the center of that dot, the same on his back. Their crests would repeat inside themselves, giving them the appearance of going on forever.

Sasha watched from Legon’s mind as his and Iselin’s crests were changed. Her eyes filled with tears and she felt a immense weight lift off her. Her whole life she worried that Legon wouldn’t find anyone. She worried that he would never try and instead put his efforts into keeping her safe. Now she didn’t have to worry about that. She disconnected from the two of them, giving them privacy.
