THE PREPARATION

"If he left it for you to decide, then I will assume you will agree with me." In one glance Serefina could tell what kind of answer Lilac would give. "Then, I think our discussion is over. So, I'm excusing myself now." The witch wiped her mouth and stood up from her seat.

After Jedrek and Serefina left the dining room, Lilac sat alone with her food, barely touched in front of her.

This would be a long and hard journey for them.

============== 

The night was glowing with the bright city lights and the starry sky. A beautiful scenery which Serefina could see from her balcony.

She had been here once, a long-long time ago when Jedrek visited this city with his father and Torak. They met in one of the inns and spent the night together. That happened a very long time ago and almost felt like all of those memories were from another life.

The witch stood there, basking in the light of the full moon. Tonight was exceptionally bright.

Full moon…
