The amusement within Eden at my words, subtle though it is, is not missed by the violet and blue of my gaze as I allow my lip to quirk upward in this same passing notion of humour. Had I been given to see within Eden’s mind at this moment I surely would have found curiosity with the manner in which his thoughts so aligned my own. I have desired for many years to seek place beside Eden once more and even though I am fond of the Forest, the place that has been my home since the earliest of my days there is a desire most driving to come to the oceans shores and yet- it is as even Eden observes. We must remain separate, have done so for many years and another year longer perhaps would not go remiss. If I may pass my rank to Alistair, may be assured that which I have worked for will be maintained then it will be so that I will turn from the forest to take up a place long desired beside my closest of friends. None have ever yet come to either of us to ask of that night, our separation surely dispelling any whom might question it and yet their has been calm for far to long and I grow unease in a certain knowledge that stirs within myself and one I find I am inclined to speak of to Eden. I knew well that Alistair did not speak the tongue of Angels and as such it was those words I choose in this moment, speaking briefly to Eden alone once more.
“Dimitte me, hoc est momentaneum intrusionem in societate nostra, sed illic loquitur, est aliquid, oportet me loqui of- potest non expectare. Vias prebet solitas Angeli scio vos fratrem. Vos scitis quod factum est ad Achillem Heyel et recessum ab eodem lecti erant jure sanguinis Insula meis lectica soror Solara accepit Diveen sedem. Placuit hoc quod Achilles fuit quem tenebam concern- cautos scio eum mane, non indignaretur abire. Maior tamen est quaestio emersit sentio tendentes diligenter. Ego dixi in mortem manet, an etiam Heyel elegit another- irritatio. Hic 'alius vero ad probandum constanter coepit magis ..... potentem. Et erit fides in alium regem voluptatis, quale antea deposuit. Nostis qui loquor?”
(Forgive me this momentary intrusion on our alliance talks but there is something I must speak of- it can wait no longer. You know well of Angel ways I am sure brother. You know then that it was Achilles who was chosen by Heyel to lead and when he retired it was by the right of Isola's blood that my own litter sister, Solara, took the throne of Diveen. I was content in this, it was Achilles for whom I held concern- there was a cunning in him that I have known early on, I was not displeased to see him go. Yet I feel it is so a larger problem has emerged, steadily, carefully. I am told Heyel chose another- even in death he remains an irritation. This 'other' however has begun to prove steadily more.....potent. I belive their will be another King, Eden, of the sort we took down once before. Do you know of who I speak?)
It was perhaps more words then which I intended and yet I believe they need be said. Eden had understood once before the need to remove a King to whom all others bowed and it was more so I seek to bring a warning to him once more- that the chance for such a thing has, at last, begun to rise again. My attention remains upon him a moment longer before it is so it returns smoothly to Alistair, as if the words I have spoken are no more then a passing commentary upon the weather, each word smooth and calm, offered with pleasant ease before I nod easily to he whom has become my apprentice.
“This is good, Alistair.”
It is not often I am so given to afford praise and yet to speak as he had, with conviction and before an Alpha is a promising thing and one I am given to reward as such, lips pulled into a smile of contentment at his answer before it is so Eden himself seeks to answer and ask another question- a difficult one at that as my eyes move to rest upon him a moment. It is a good question and one to which I have found answer already though I wonder perhaps of Alistair.
“What do you think, Alistair, may be done in such a situation? What is it you would suggest? Let us know your answer and then I will speak my own and we shall see if they align.”
My words will overrule his own, should his own prove insufficient and yet I am curious of them all the same, my form content to relax now as it is so I continue to sit beside Eden, nodding once more in a gentle encouragement of the boy to speak.
