Chapter 78: Seamus' Quest

SEAMUS

Seamus was riding through the woods in Hand, heading towards the high plateau. He could hear nothing but the sound of his horse crashing through the undergrowth. This was his favourite place in the world, and he was more relaxed than he had been in a long time.

'Seamus. Seamus!'

Who would be calling him this far from the palace? He ignored the voice and carried on riding.

'SEAMUS.'

He was roughly shaken and his perfect morning slipped away. Back in the cave he had fallen asleep in, Emer stood over him with a cup of caffe in her hand.

'Glad you decided to join us.' She looked down at him. 'Here, drink this and dress in the clothes I brought you.' She indicated some clothes she had draped over the end of the bed. 'I will meet you outside when you are done.'
