Chapter 9 - Seekers

Elizabeth didn’t make Jocelyn’s nine o’clock meeting, but she did make it just before ten, when the mages were expected to arrive. Jocelyn scowled at her as she slid into her seat just as Lorri showed the first of the visitors in.

The man who followed Lorri appeared to be in his late twenties. Not a surprise, all mages from the Dome did.

Elizabeth hadn’t met many Seekers before, only those who had taken Amily to the Dome, but he fit the label as neatly as they had. His dark black hair had just a suggestion that it might curl, had it been allowed to grow long enough, and his strength and skill were evident in the confidence with which he walked.

His magic was just as obvious to anyone who knew what to look for. Elizabeth evaluated him, reasonably sure that her magic level was the greater, but not by much.

His eyes flicked across her, widening just a little, but that was all the recognition he gave. He turned and bowed to Jocelyn. “I thought it best if the warriors remained outside, it might be a bit crowded in here otherwise. We can relay any necessary information to them afterwards. My partner is just seeing them settled, then he will join us.”

Jocelyn inclined her head. “A very sensible idea. And you are?”

“Carlis Danell, ma’am, Seeker to Prince Veryn, at your service.”

He was a very handsome man and his manners were impeccable, but although he was attractive, there was something about him that made her uneasy, something Elizabeth couldn’t put her finger on.

Any concerns fled a few moments later when his partner entered.

This man seemed quite young for the role, perhaps in his late teens or early twenties, but he had a quiet confidence that was unmistakable. His magic was stronger than the older man’s, surpassing even Elizabeth’s slightly.

None of that was why Elizabeth stared. His light red hair caused her heart to skip a beat, and when he paused for just a moment and her eyes met his, she could have been looking into a reflection. She caught herself just in time to prevent blurting his name out loud.

It had to be Jon.

He didn’t look in her direction, turning first to Carlis. “The warriors are waiting outside,” he informed him.

Carlis nodded with enough respect that it was obvious he considered him an equal.

Elizabeth wished she could be as calm. Her heart sang with happiness. It was a strain to stop every bit of emotion showing on her face.

He looked at her then, and he must have known who she was, because he smiled at her, then ducked his head, breaking eye contact.

She took a seat opposite him at the table and barely heard a word Jocelyn said.

Had Sean planned on sending him when she saw him last night, or had their time together changed his mind? She couldn’t possibly guess. She was just glad he was here.

Her mind was full of questions she wanted to ask him. And a little dread.
