Chapter 18: Of All the Envoys in All the World

Lilia POV

Waiting outside Cresta House the next morning with the sun smiling down on them through a light veil of clouds, Lilia adjusted her new witch robe. The color of moonlight with sparkles, it set off her coloring to perfection. Dane looked regal in his new tartan robe. They both wore dwarf-made crowns, his set with sapphires, hers with amethysts. 

Jiro and Garnet, in their own gold crowns and dwarf-made collars and wristlets as well as their finery, stood to her right. Kyon and Azandra were on Dane’s left, with Patch and Anneliese close by. Dirge, Thessi, and Calyx hung back at the end. Ravyn as well as Tulaska and the rest of the council waited on the other side of Jiro and Garnet. 

An honor guard of Crimsontail and Evenhide enforcers stood, creating a wide path in the crowded square for the High Elf delegation to approach.
