Excerpt :
As Eran's
feet left the ground, he found me in the crowd and gave me one final burning
look. There was something in his eyes now, not pride at having subdued Jacob or
to impress upon me the importance of the lesson he'd just demonstrated. All
that seemed to have been forgotten. No, what I saw was intense curiosity. And
just before he broke our gaze to adjust his sight on the route they were
taking, I was certain that he felt the same way I did…that he wished he
understood what had just happened between us.
As the rest
of us watched in awed silence, I couldn't help but notice that, in a way
similar to the messengers on their arrival, Eran's group departed with the same
close-knit familiarity.
"Who are
they?" I asked, my head still tilted back.
"Part of
a legion," Daniel replied.
Despite my
seclusion, I'd heard of legions. There were several of them, each with a
primary purpose. "Which one?"
"The one
that oversees castigated entities."
"Those
who have wronged humankind?"
"Yes,
the Fallen Ones," confirmed Daniel.
I'd heard of
them, too. In passing.
"And
Eran's a part of that legion?"
"No,"
Daniel said with a subdued chuckle. "Not a part of, the leader of. He's
their colonel."
"Colonel?"
I said, finally lowering my head.
Eran had been
out of sight for a while, but this was the first time I'd felt enough
conviction to look away.
"You
really have no idea who he is, do you?" Daniel was astonished.
"No."
He didn't
reply for what felt like a very long time. "Eran has been credited with
keeping the most dangerous entities from committing further atrocious acts
while they are sentenced to an eternity on earth."
"You
mean his legion has," I corrected him.
"No, I
mean Eran. There is a reason why he is renowned. When the most vicious of the
Fallen Ones are too much for others in the legion to handle, they request Eran,
which is to say that he pursues and restrains those who all others cannot
handle."
"That
takes skill," Jacob muttered, stretching a kink from his neck.
Daniel
chuckled at the understatement. "Some of which you just witnessed…personally,"
he added.
I didn't
share Daniel's humor, being too preoccupied by who I'd just met, and how his
attention had been so finely tuned to me. "Do you think he'll be
back?"
"Eran?"
Daniel said. "It's possible. I've heard every action he makes is
deliberate…calculated. He was here with a reason today. If he returns, he'll
have a reason then too."
Jacob
groaned, evidently not anticipating Eran's return. "Next time you can spar with him."
Daniel
chuckled. "I'd think our time would be better spent training the
messengers, which is something we should probably return to…," he hinted.
Jacob nodded,
rubbing the side of his neck where I remember a vine had hit him. Daniel pitied
his friend through a quiet, suppressed laugh, wrapping a friendly arm across
Jacob's shoulders and walking him toward the waiting group. But my attention
drifted back to the sky where Eran had disappeared.
The
anticipation of seeing him again proved too much and my insides were ignited in
a way I'd never felt before. That searing pleasure worked its way through my
belly, and as much as I wanted to dwell in that sensation, I had to force
myself to ignore it. There was work to be done and that feeling was a
distraction.
Resigned to
concentrate on my task at hand, I joined the messengers shortly after, but not
before peering back for one more lingering glance at the sky.
