There was a time in his life when attending a wedding meant a hell of a night was in store. Ceremonies were usually pretty tame, but receptions could get wild. The clouded memories of the wedding parties of his youth flooded his head as he entered the hall.
An elaborate hall decked to the nines opened before him. Tableware suggested a full course dinner was coming much to his approval. The rest of the venue was traditionally laid out, but way over the top of anything he’d ever seen back in Iowa.
He waited near the open bar until the couple’s arrival. Few spoke to him, though many met his eye. It was the uniform, but he was used to the stares and whispers. It only made him grin to himself, nod a friendly hello when it happened, and nurse the beer bottled cradled in his palm.
He was holding up the wall when Wizard and Emily arrived. The display took him by surprise, just as it did everyone else, and he clapped in approval with the crowd.
So Emily was also a channeler. Suppose it would take one to handle Wizard’s antics.
Eventually, he found his seat for dinner.

Only darkness shows you the light.
