An already long day became even longer with the news Cosmos delivered. Immediately upon her return to the vale, Sigrid summoned her family, the immediate ones only.
While she was taking a bath, her grandparents, parents, brothers and Deanna arrived at the vale. They joined Sigrid for dinner and dismissed everyone with the exception of Cosmos and Lanai.
The doors leading into the dining room were heavily guarded by ten knights, allowing the family to discuss openly without holding back.
As soon as they started digging into their food, the questioning started.
"Why did you summon us?" her father, Paxton started.
"Is it related to you special abilities?" Duchess Mila followed up with a question of her own.
"Roland returns tomorrow." Sigrid said, she wanted to get straight to the point and move things along as quickly as possible.
Time had moved fast, it was already approaching eleven, and her body was weary.
