Bab 289: A place to call home

"We'll be back before dusk," Rowan told Artemus. He was about to accompany Syryn to Silisia where the mage would tie up the loose ends he'd left behind. 

"Don't get into trouble," Artemus reminded them for the fifth time.

"No promises," Rowan replied. With Syryn in the equation, there was always a probability of something going wrong. 

"If you don't come back by dusk, we'll leave without you and Syryn." 

Rowan smiled at the expressionless Artemus. The dark-haired anti mage liked to act cool but his threats and cold words came from a place of concern.

"Don't get caught by a squall," he replied. The blond then dived into the water where Syryn was waiting for him.
