A meeting was scheduled with Jacques Danjou. Sometimes Emily wondered what she was doing, but that pull was still there. Something that drew her towards the leader of the Legion.
On top of that, she had other things on her mind. Ayden still wasn't talking to her, and Emily had come to the conclusion that Ayden had left. Perhaps it had to do with the Ascendancy's message, and Emily could understand that. What she didn't understand was why she hadn't said goodbye.
It hurt more than she thought it would. Ayden had been a good friend - her best friend really. Amongst everything going on in her life, Ayden had brought a sort of stability to that, but she was gone now, and without a word.
Why didn't she say goodbye?
It was all she wondered. Why had Ayden left without a goodbye? Why was everyone leaving her alone. Emily knew she was more blessed than most in the world, but it still hurt.
A walk through the market was helping. She wasn't shopping. She hardly went into shops. In fact she hadn't even planned on coming to the market. She had just started walking, and her footsteps had taken her here.
Emily looked up. The pull was there. She could feel it. Just as she had felt it before, but stronger now. Was Danjou here? Emily couldn't see him as she looked. She tried to focus on it, but it was almost pulsing. She couldn't focus. She turned a corner and then...
A man embraced her, comforted her...
He pulled away, another came, darkness surrounding him...
The man, green skinned and crowned, lay on the ground broken...
Intense sadness followed by joy...
A child...strong a powerful...
Emily shook her head. The images remained in her mind. She felt a little dizzy. She was sitting on the ground now, confused and disoriented.
Emily looked up and saw a man standing before her. He looked concerned. Emily's eyes widened. The pull hadn't been towards Danjou. It had been towards this man - whoever he was. Emily knew it.
What did this man have to do with anything? What did he have to do with Sierra Leone? Why was he here now?
Emily wasn't sure what to do, so she summoned her magic as the man reached towards her.
"Are you okay?"
the man asked and Emily realized the hand was to help her up.
"I'm fine,"
she said, standing up on her own. Whatever had happened with the images had happened when they had touched. She wasn't going to touch him again.
