    Summary

    There are uninvited guests at the fundraising. Three, maybe more people, with calculation in their movements and silent messages in their glances. Without a doubt, they are not part of the crowd of nobles.

    Bren observes them silently.

    The drow makes eye contact with him, and he suppresses the shiver that threatens to go through him at that.
    The problem, he muses, is not that an unknown group of intruders has infiltrated the gala.

    The problem is that they seem to be here for him.

    Summary

    Lucien leaned back in his chair at the comment and gave it a beat before he cocked his head towards Essek with a leering smile on his face. He folded his arms, keeping his eyes resting on Caleb while directing his next comment to his right.

    “He’s attractive when he’s condescending.”

    He was rewarded by an immediate stiffening of Essek next to him and a flush across Caleb’s face as he coughed and turned away. The tension up the back of Essek’s neck was clear, and his long ears twitched back slightly. Smiling more widely, Lucien turned to look at Essek, who resolutely didn’t meet his gaze.

    “Feisty as well, isn’t he? Hungry for knowledge. Always about books and learning. He said as much himself. Is that how he wound you in?”

    ————

    Lucien picks up on the unspoken tension between Essek and Caleb and uses it to his advantage. Set shortly after E122 Nothing Ventured, Nothing Gained.

    Summary

    With one final phrase, the spell is complete,and the twice stolen beacon resting on his desk flares brightly, flooding the room with searing light and an overwhelming rush of energy, an intangible force that nearly knocks Bren off his feet. As the energy recedes, he waits, preparing to be ripped from this moment and thrust into the annals of time, but nothing happens. He frowns. Waits. But still nothing happens, and as he begins double checking his notes, scattered as they are across his work surface, suddenly, he’s struck with an intense arcane force, like a punch to the chest. He recoils, blinks instinctively and once his vision clears, finds himself standing in his bedchambers. As he takes stock of the world around him, his brain recalibrates, and a sense of dread congeals in his stomach. His sense of time has never been wrong before, so it can’t be now.

    It’s 6am on the 9th of Quen’Pillar. Again.

    “Shit.”

    Caleb and Essek get stuck in a time loop, and have to work together to get out of it.

    Caleb delves deeper in the beacon than he planned and finds something unexplainable and familiar all at once.
