Benedict sat, alone, in one of the Garden’s three libraries, and tried not to think about Kestrel. It had been too long since he’d last seen her, but he’d always thought the next time would be when he was back at the Hollow, having completed the job he had been sent to do by Falcon. Of course things hadn’t worked out the way Benedict hoped they would, which meant he would have to do his best to keep out of Kess’ sight as well as hope that being noticed by Heliopath didn’t affect the preparations that had been made for the future.

It had been a long fight to the top for Heliopath and once he was there he didn’t stop fighting. He wasn’t fighting simply for the sake of fighting, although it had become something he was too used to for his own good, but because he had a vision. The town shouldn’t be fractured the way it was. There was no need for the different groups of mages all fighting each other for a reason they couldn’t even remember any more. Sighing he looked at the map.
