<strong>The Kane Estate in the Study.</strong><br/><br/>Selene puts the staff by her desk as she sits down, shedding her jacket as she goes. The woman was completely comfortable in her simple blouse and pants that would have most of English society screaming scandal. She sat down and put up her feet on the desk as she motioned for Lucas to take a seat in an over stuffed chair nearby.<br/><br/>"You're not the only touched by destiny Lucas." She says simply. "I might not be a representative of the Lord, but the Kane family has done a great many deeds and been in the right place at the wrong time. In the aftermath of many of our encounters with the forces of evil, they are dead and we had been left to clean up. A lot of the things left behind aren't what you want the less than honorable to hold on to."  She gestures around the room. "Librams, spellbooks, journals, and such are only part. Your sword came into our possession when it's owner was struck down in battle. Solomon Kane carried him to safety but he died before they could get to civilization. We usually are merely.. soldiers in battle."<br/><br/>"I am the first Kane to fully embrace the potential of what we are. I had to." She looked around before getting up to point at a bank of books. "I also made it a point to read through what happened to my family. There is a lot of blood and tears in the journals. You might know this, but I'm the last Kane directly descended from Solomon Kane. The rest of the family died out or fell in battles that only we were there for. Some for the folk at hand, others for this or that crusade, a few in service of the Crown, and no few in vengeance for our deeds.  We've all be marked by our fate as a family that stands the line."<br/><br/>She looked over at her guest. She smiled, a bit maudlin but clearly trying to move past it.<br/><br/>"My apologies, I shouldn't be lingering over such things given you're in a similar situation." She returned to the desk and sat down as Hightower wheeled in a trunk and dropped a sealed case on the table. With a quick bow he withdrew. "Ah.. one of the few copies outside the Vatican's black library." She said as she picked up the bound book and snapped the seal.<br/><br/>"I am fairly sure your witch is in America, the spell being cast within the last hour means she is most likely in a time frame around midnight to a few hours after. She could be somewhere between New York and Chicago at a guess, possibly as far west as Denver. You're talking about half a continent. I don't suppose you've got something of hers with you?"
