Lady Selene began walking, and Elias followed beside her, "You won't offer me your hand?" She asked
"My hand? No thanks, I like having my hand," Elias said flatly
Lady Selene paused then burst out laughing, she giggled like a teenage girl, "You're silly, I didn't mean it literally. Have you never walked with a Lady before?" She asked
"It seems the matter you wish to discuss with me is not as pressing as you suggested if you have the time to make jest of me," He deadpanned
She stifled her laughter and cleared her throat with the grace of a seasoned lady of high society that she was, "Here," she took a hold of his hand and then inserted her hand between his arm and body, "That's how it's done. When walking with a lady, you offer her your hand, walk on her left, and match her pace."
"Thank you..." Elias said, "Now to the matter you wish to discuss with me,"
"You're an impatient man, Elias Ashdown," she said
"I'm only impatient to certain people, and to others I have all the patience in the world," He said
"Is that so?" She said, "Well, the issue at hand isn't something we can say here, there may be ears in walls. Let us go somewhere else"
Elias raised a curious brow, "Here is fine," he said, "Barrier, Ward of Silence. Now no one will hear us,"
Lady Selene looked around in surprise, "How are you able to instantly raise wards and weave spells without any preparation, it's unheard of."
"Carry on, Lady Selene," Elias urged her
"Very well," she began, "Most people don't know this, but when it comes to magic and Magecraft, I am not very prominent, especially with offensive battle spells.
But there is one thing I'm undisputed at, and that is Divination magic. Magic that allows me to foresee and foretell future events.
"Yes"
"Go on then," He urged her
"Not here, I've grown tired of standing. Perhaps we should continue this in your quarters?"She asked smiling
Elias raised a suspicious brow, "Sure," He said. He had a feeling she had an ulterior motive, but he still indulged her because of the promise of information she had
Bam!
Elias slammed his door shut and turned the key, "Done, just as you requested. Now start talking," He said
Lady Selene smiled, "Remember when I said I tried to divine multiple people?" She began
"Yes I do,"
"One of those people, was the King and when I saw into his future, I saw King Alaric pointing his sword clearly with the intent to kill you," She said
Elias raised a suspicious eyebrow, "You said he was pointing his sword at me, but earlier you said any future that involved be that you tried to see yielded nothing, so how is it possible you saw me? Are you lying to me?" He asked
A knowing smile curved into place on Lady Selene's face, "Nice catch, you're sharp, just as expected. But I am not lying to you, I was able to deduce that you were the one on the other end of the sword because after I saw him pointing his sword, and it was time to see who was on the other end, the future returned nothing to me," She explained
Elias stroked his nonexistent beard as he pondered, it was too much information to digest at once.
Lady Selene stood up from the chair she sat in and walked up to Elias, swaying her hips exaggeratedly as she did. She placed both her hands on his face and whispered into his ear:
"I've seen how strong you are, and that is even without the Goddess' blessings. I'm just letting you know right now; If you want to take away the throne from that lazy slob Alaric, I am with you...Chosen child of light; Elias Ashdown,"
