During my usual routine, I was in the Dark one's study serving her tea and a snack.

The Dark One sat at her desk, her legs crossed, she was reading a book.

I couldn't see what the book was but it looked to be very complicated.

I approached holding the tray with the refreshments on it, in my hands. As i approached she looked up at me.
I watched as her struggle as if to say something.

". . .Tha-thank you . . . Cemilan."

"It's . . . no problem, Dark One, I mean . . . Mistress Dwyera."

Needless to say our exchanges of words, was more than awkward, for the both of us.

Just as I begun to pour a cup of tea the candles within the room flicker changing color to a pale blue.

A change in the color of the flame meant only one thing.

There was a guest at the door.
