A Wish Upon the Stars (Tales From Verania 4) - Page 212

We were meant to be.

The Great White didn’t know what he was talking about.

I AM the King’s Wizard.

I have an apprentice.

I have my cornerstone.

It’s everything I could have wanted.

MYRIN WAS whispering something to the King today.

He smiled and winked at me when he caught me watching.

I wonder if he’s planning a surprise.

For some reason, I like surprises, but only when they come from him.

MORGAN IS… bright. Inquisitive. Studious. Focused.

I will expect great things from him.

THE KING seems… off lately. A shadow of his former self. He says he’s fine, but….

I’ll need to keep an eye on him.

MYRIN IS gone.

He left a note saying he’d be back in a few days.

He didn’t say where he was going.

This is the third time he’s done this.

I know he has a wandering spirit, but I thought this would be enough.

That I would be enough.

It’s okay, though. I have plenty to keep me busy.

THE KING had a scare today.

He was speaking in front of his court and then just trailed off, staring into the distance.

His eyes were unfocused and his jaw slack.

I thought it was a precursor to a seizure.

I reached for him, but Myrin was there first.

I could have sworn Myrin said something to him, but I didn’t see his lips move.

The King snapped out of it a moment later.

He said he hadn’t slept well the night before.

Bad dreams.
