FREYA's POV
I'm not sure how long I slept, but I woke with a start the moment I felt Aric's fingers grasp my right shoulder. It was time.
Quickly, he helped me dress in my leather battle armor. He also opened my armoire and handed me several of my favorite weapons. I noticed that he was wearing his own too.
There was an elegant dagger on his waist that had several dark blue gemstones embedded in the handle.
When he noticed me looking at it, he cleared his throat and pulled it free from its sheath. "It was a gift. The leader of the Fraternity gave it to me when I was granted sage status," he said softly.
The blade looked sharp and was about the length of my forearm. It was quite ornate. The handle appeared to be made of folded silver that was furnished into an intricate rope design inlaid with several different types of glittering stones.
