After a week of not seeing her mate, Iris was surprised to find a servant waiting outside her quarters. This was the same servant Lord Kieran would send whenever he wished to see or have a word with her. She hadn't seen him, not even his shadow, since Melissa's arrival, and she didn't dare to request to see him either, thinking that she needed time to sort out her thoughts.
'Come, Black Mage. The throne has been empty for far too long.' The Elder Lich's words continued to plague her mind for weeks, and she wondered why she couldn't forget them.
There was something about the Elder Lich that felt familiar, but she couldn't pinpoint what it was, but this sense of familiarity was ridiculous because Iris was sure she'd never seen or met the undead before.
