When I arrived back at our room, I stood in the doorway, watching as my
lovers Wren and Marit cuddled in bed together, pretending to read but
actually getting a little handsy. Just when I started teasing them about not
leaving any space for me to join in, a monk called from downstairs with a
message for Wren.
The letter I accepted for him held such a magical weight to it that I
recognized the sensation from my etheric training. Causation: something
coming in and adding to the picture of one’s life so substantially that it
changed their fate.
With no shortage of trepidation, I climbed the stairs and handed it over to
our Wren.
Already causation was at work: Wren had frozen, his eyes wide at having
apparently recognized the penmanship of the author. Trembling hands took
the envelope and freed the letter. Marit shot me a glance in question, but I
shook my head—I didn’t know. My intuition was on high alert, every hair
standing up on the back of my neck, but I wasn’t privy to the details.
Wren read the letter in silence, then handed it to Marit, his expression
unreadable, processing. Marit’s expression went from worried to stonefaced. He read it lightning-fast before handing it over to me. I rushed to sit
on the bed and take it.
Dear Wren,
I have secured a court magician’s position under the warlord that has
brought peace to the Danubian plains three days’ ride east of you. This king
has a mountain shrine of seven lanterns to honor old gods who the people
believe have allowed their king to secure the area and bring peace. The
elderly mystic that once manned the shrine has now passed through the veil,
and without the support of these gods, Helvetica’s border could once again
return to warring states. Though I know a shrine mystic is in no way a
glamorous calling, I still thought of you for the position.
See you soon?
Ingeborg
Ingeborg was the traveling mage woman who had found Wren wandering
the streets as a child and taken him under her wing. She’d let him tag along,
teaching him meditation and especially memory techniques. After many
years, she had rightfully concluded that Wren wasn’t suited to the kind of
training she could give him, that of learning the ways of the world and
human behavior in order to be hired to advise a ruler or even a king. She’d
then dropped him off at Diana Monastery, where he could get a more formal
magical education, and Wren had eventually gone deep into theurgic
training to connect directly to the divine.
Marit shot me another look, and I realized I had frozen in shock. I tended
to ice over when things got to be too much. It was a function of my
upbringing and made it difficult to be present for my partners.
“Indeed that is not a glorious calling,” said Marit. “It will be humble, to
say the least. If the old man died from being robbed and murdered, knowing
how unstable that region has been, then you’ll have to be prepared to defend
yourself without neighbors close enough to hear you.”
