“ She speaks the truth when she says that I did everything I could to help her become a better weaver and thereby assist Kalan. Everyone here knows that my sister Railey is a dark weaver who studies under Lela.” He placed his right hand over his heart before continuing, “Though it shames me greatly, it is what it is. I was in servitude to my sister and she expected that I would assist her in drawing out Joey’s abilities for her own use since I carry both dark and light weaver traits. Unbeknownst to her or Lela, I was also commissioned by Prince Kalan to teach Joey the ways of the weavers so that her power would reach full potential – thereby his majesty could be restored and regain what is rightfully his.”
Torvin interrupted his speech, “If I may pause you Kessler, please explain to the community here how this quest actually began.”
“Oh of course, my apologies. You see, After Queen Genessa passed, all efforts naturally channeled in to locating the mortal that had gained her powers. Kalan found her first, but her abilities were sorely lacking. His majesty worked to bring her up to speed but everyone knows that royalty never trains on the art of weaving. This is work that drains their power, and let’s just be honest – it is work that is beneath them.” The onlookers laughed at this. Kess took a bow and then continued when they simmered down. “My sister was able to track her down by increasing her own powers. She did this by absorbing the skills of another master weaver – albeit his powers were less than optimal when she absorbed them. He was no more skilled than Joey.” He was no more skilled than Joey… Did he really just say that?
That power his fiend of a sister sucked up belonged to Peter, who was Pepper’s brother, and I realized with a terrible sense of sadness that there was no way she would ever get her brother back now. The onlookers murmured and you didn’t have to be a weaver to feel the fear in the room. Kessler paused while Torvin instructed everyone to calm down and then he continued, “Let’s face it, my sister is a serious threat to Era thanks to Lela, but that’s why we’re here isn’t it?” He gave the crowd a chance to echo his sentiment. “Okay, so where was I? Oh yes, so naturally, she threw a dark weave over the entire situation to stop the progress his majesty had made. In short, she sent Joey right back to her former existence and stripped her of any memory of Kalan. She and Lela then trapped Kalan in a state of demise in an effort to buy time and keep him from Joey. His majesty, being as clever as he is, of course used even this unexpected turn of events to his advantage.”
Kalan crossed his legs comfortably while Kess blew more smoke up his royal ass. His nose was up in the air even higher now – and if I could have spit that far I’d have done it just to wipe the smugness off of his face. Since I was there, I saw firsthand that Joey was able to summons him from death.” Here he spread his arms out and looked up at the stands of people. “I’ll tell you all, it was a sight to see! Naturally, I swore fealty to his grace the moment he materialized in front of me. It was his grace’s desire that I seek her out, and begin the process of rebuilding her abilities so that she could then use them to restore Kalan. This was a plan fraught with peril because I had to keep this information hidden from my sister who was busy working on her own plans to unlock the secrets of the gift Joey possessed. When she came to me insisting that I should be the one to retrain Joey so that I could get her abilities strengthened and ready for her to absorb – well let’s just say I was relieved. I was working both sides as they say.”
I guess folks found that funny because of his light and dark tendencies because it stirred a round of chuckles. Even Kalan offered an obligatory chortle at my expense. I
