Shortly after Parsley returned to her room and finished preparing for dinner, one of the novice Sisters arrived to lead her and the others to the meal. Hewy, nervously fiddling with his necklace, followed the others down the mass of connecting hallways as they headed to the dining room. He heard Efem ask the Sister if they would be meeting their host to which the novice replied, |
Disappointed, Hewy knew he wouldn't be getting his answers this evening. Walking slower he started to look down the adjoining hallways in hopes of at least seeing Awena. At one hallway he noticed a grand entrance way with the doors not quit closed. He was about to look in when the Sister appeared and whisked him away to join the others who were waiting for him in the dining room. |
As he entered, he noticed a Sister was sitting and meditating in the center of a large room. Quietly he neared to get a closer look as he could see something most trolls don't see every day - a magical light floating from her hands. "Hewy, please take a seat before me. I have been waiting for you," the Sister said. Startled, he sat before her and watched as she continued her meditations. Soon the magical light was extinguished and she opened her eyes. It was then that Hewy was sure. He had found Awena after all of these years! |
So many things came to his mind. So many questions, but all he could finally tell her was, "I have missed you." Smiling sadly, she felt his pain for she also felt the loss of their young love but she knew that she had made the right decision to join the Sisters. She had a part to play in telling him of the prophecy that he was fated to be a player in. It was in her latest clouded vision of the one who would bring the greatest threat to the Realms that made her glad to see Hewy and yet afraid for him. Things still weren't clear enough in her mind to know how this was all going to occur especially with the changes that the prophecy alluded too. |
