Find Familiar

After casting the spell the night before, Elemix was disappointed nothing had happened. There was a nagging feeling that something did occur, but Elemix couldn’t quite place it. After attending the races with Emmeline, Rivanon and Tiffanie for a brief time, Elemix excused himself and headed north west into the depths of the city. Continue reading “Find Familiar”

At the Races

Rivanon said, “Here is the adoption petition. All legal and in four copies. It seems the Countessa likes you. Here advocate made me work all morning on this with him. I added some defenses of your rights to be sure. We already have her signature. We need yours, your uncle’s and a judge’s signature. Then the writ of adoption will be formally entered into the Library and everything will be done. I have to ask, are you sure about this?” Continue reading “At the Races”

Their combined skills often had her on the defensive and she had to work hard to land a “touch” — something they all did so as not to cause injury at a time they had to be in top form. Since she was at the greatest disadvantage, her philosophy was that she would have the most to learn. Continue reading “A Moment with the Prince”

Emmeline: Legal Matters Part 3

Rivanon asked the librarian to make copies of the holders information, to which the librarian bowed slightly and said it would be done. Returning to the clerk Rivanon and Emmeline picked up a load of papers and grabbed one of the dozens of nearby study desks. “Your grandfather was very proactive. Looking at all of this, it seems your uncle does have rights of trust, but according to the part of Emmeric’s will concerning your disposition, you were to be left in the care of your grandmother, Adelade. It seems a letter to that effect was sent to Mazarin to execute with a copy of such found in ‘my second greatest treasure’.” Rivanon was confused, “what the deuce does that mean?” Continue reading “Emmeline: Legal Matters Part 3”
