Chapter 85: Revelations

SEAMUS

By the time they arrived back at the guest commune, Aliah was leaning more heavily on Seamus for support. Even so, she had insisted they share the details of their trials with each other to see if they could learn anything new by comparing their experiences.

Sitting down, they poured some caffe from the pot that had been left for them. Dominic arrived soon after. Seeing them deep in discussion, he yawned and retired to bed, tactfully giving them some privacy. After having shared their stories, Seamus thought Aliah's experience had been much tougher than his, and his guilt at the ease with which he had obtained his wand rose. The concerns nagging at the back of his mind all evening surfaced.
