The Eyes Of 'Rah

Revealing the Eyes

Sitted in the study of Eric Manchester, both ladies observed each other, with Seraphine curious to know why the witch wanted to see her. She studied the young lady whose cool expression had now turned to a small smile.

"I've found a way to help the wolves restore their memory" the witch blurted.

Taken aback, she cleared her throat, "how did you know they lost it? Did Alpha Weinroff tell you?" Seraphine thought the alpha had been careful about letting it out.

"I sometimes assist my father in looking for answers and we know it was the work of the Chronophages"

"Oh" nodding in understanding, "permit me to be blunt but why are you telling me instead of the alpha?"

"Because we need to work together to restore the eyes"

Seraphine took a deep breath, she knew the witch must have known or seen something, judging by the knowing smile on her lips, "why me specifically?"

"Because you're the bearer of Phemerah's Eyes "

Seraphine quickly looked at the door as if someone might hear her.

"Don't worry, no creature can hear whatever is being said in this room" she assured her.

No wonder the witch had insisted on using this room.

"How did you know?" A bewildered Seraphine asked.

"I've dreamt about you even before knowing you and when I saw you the first time that night during the Peace Festival, I knew." The witch saw her anxious look, "don't worry, I'm bound by an oath. No one can find out about what you are from me" she assured her.

Seraphine spoke, "but I've not fully gotten the eyes, how then can I possibly be of help?"

"You don't need to have fully possessed the eyes to help restore their memories, all you need to do is to help identify the memory which belongs to whom and I will do the rest"

"That might not be as easy as it seemed though" Seraphine looked at the witch, "I've only been able to see the memory once, I've tried several times again afterwards but nothing happened"

"Don't worry about that, I can help. I just want to ask if you don't mind working together to help restore the memories"

She took in a long breath, pondering over it for few minutes and she finally spoke, "I would if you promised to make it as discreet as possible, so that people won't really know why I need to be involved."

The witch moved towards the door, signalling that the conversation is getting to an end, "of course, we can always say that your shop has an important unclaimed object which is required in restoring the memory and since it's in your custody, you had to be there to ensure its safe return"

"That sounds plausible" Seraphine thought "but it can only be said for a short while, we can't always say that everytime"

"The memory restoration is only going to last for a day, so it's perfect" before the door was opened, Seraphine asked, "what's your name or what should I call you aside from referring to you as Lord Witcharoft's daughter "

"Call me Annaliese" the witch extended her hands towards her.

"Nice to meet you, Annaliese"

"I'll send a word when I've gotten everything ready"

"We've been waiting for you, care to share with us what the witch want from you?" Stephen licked the corner of his lips where blood stained.

"Absolutely not your business or anyone else's" Seraphine directed her gaze at Priscilla and her friend.
