An Unusual Meeting

"Esteemed Uncle." Manuel was roused from his meditative state by the servant that acted as the coachman of his carriage. The cool wind of the approaching night ruffled his silver hair and he let out a deep breath before opening his eyes. He gave the servant an inquisitive look, prompting the young human to speak.

"Esteemed Uncle, we are approaching Seneris." The servant explained his reason for disturbing Manuel.

"Ah, I see. Continue forward." Manuel nodded his head and stood up. The space around him grew fuzzy for a moment before he appeared in the carriage that carried his nephew and niece.

"Uncle!" Leo exclaimed when he noticed Manuel's presence. Bella was sleeping at the side, and since she was around her trusted relatives, she let down her guard to get a good rest.

"Leo, we are about to reach Seneris. I plan to have us rest there for the night before we continue forward to the mountains." Manuel told Leo as he sat down on a chair opposite Leo.
