Keith was about to call out Cassandra's bluff. Did she really expect him to believe that the Moon Goddess sent a message to Keith? But then he saw that four healers were not on the chairs around the table anymore. They were on their knees, facing Cassandra, with their heads lowered. Were they part of this show?
Calla glanced at Keith nervously. "It's an honor to receive a divine message from the Oracle.", Calla said with an urgent whisper. "You should get on your knees and thank her, and not…"
"It's OK", Cassandra interrupted Calla, and then she turned to Keith. "Do you want to hear it or not? Your life will depend on it."
Keith was not used to this theatrical behavior. Wasn't the kneeling too much?
"A message from the Moon Goddess, for me?" Keith asked suspiciously. "Just a minute ago, you asked me if I'm Alpha Talia's guard. You don't even know my name."
A-ha! Keith got a clue!
Did you?
