Dagger looks at Aleera, â€œI turned her down, because Iâ€™m not interested in her.â€ He says to her. He wanted to tell her that he was interested in her, but didnâ€™t know how she would react.  He was about to tell her that she was the one that he was interested in, but then kept his mouth shut. He figured that he should tell her when he is part of the coven. A week slowly passes and during the week, Aleera had been teaching Dagger to control his thirst. He was of course making good progress. They had stopped for a little bit for a break. Dagger then noticed that a cloaked figured was walking toward Aleera. He sensed no danger, so he didnâ€™t get ready for an attack. The cloaked figure was a messenger from the council. â€œLady Aleera, the council has sent me here with a message for you.â€ He says as he holds out a message that had been sealed with a glob of wax that had the councils in sigma on it. The messenger watches as she takes it. â€œPlease send a member of your coven back to the council with a reply and then the council will send a transport when itâ€™s time.â€ He says and then disappears into the darkness.
