"The herons are rare around here because they don't like coming to this lake anymore because of the pollution in it," he says quietly. "People tend to throw rocks at things that are different from them," Lucian offers. Even though he is around people all the time Lucian still feels mostly alone. After he had been conceived to be powerful and his life had laid out for him. Luke and his close friends had been trying to find a loop hole for getting him out of marrying Morgan. Though beautiful on the outside she has an icy heart on the inside. A total opposite to Lucian's warm personality. Unfortunately for Lucian Morgan is quite possessive. Already she had been talking about their becoming consorts. She and Lucian had kiss before, but Lucian had got no joy from it. "I know what it feels like to not belong. My clan and coven sometimes feel like a whole different place. Our culture can be very stifling with all the ceremonies and rituals and rules," he says for Zuri's ears only.<br/><br/>Not far from the couple a black moondust junkie listens to the pair. Morgan would not be happy that her intended groom is hanging out with a girl. More than just a friend girl at that. But for now the spy just stays still and watches the pair stroll along the lake.
