"But you are different. I sense and see nothing but greatness.”

“Except for the world burning part," muttered Daniel.

"Yes, except for that," agreed Glenda.

Jasmine was watching Roger. “And you, Roger? How do you feel about it?"

Roger looked thoughtful. "I love Glenda with all my heart. We both know she could bind me. What we don't know is what would happen after that. I may feel everything is the same, but perhaps I would be a bound slave, with my subconscious angry and vindictive. We won't risk it, Simple as that. Besides, we love each other enough for a lifetime or two. We don't need anything else; do we love?"

Glenda gently shook her head and gave a warm smile to Roger. Daniel used his sight and could see a tendril from Glenda extending to Roger but not connecting to him. Instead, it wrapped around him and caressed him, harmless but caring. He smiled.

Glenda raised an eyebrow and Daniel, having no reason to hide what he had seen, described it to them. Glenda and Roger looked at each other in delight.

"Close enough, I say," murmured Glenda. She looked pleased.

Amber frowned. "I wish I could see that."

Daniel took her hand and used his sight, pushed it through their bond, and Amber gasped.

"How did you do that?" stammered Amber.

Daniel shrugged and did the same thing to Amy and Jasmine. They gasped and looked around at everyone, their eyes seeing something new.

Glenda stared at him. “Amazing. So many new things of wonder. A human, powerful in magic, and with the ability to see past the curtain of reality to the magic that lies behind it. Fascinating.

"Okay, tomorrow we start your training. The classroom is here in this suite. I know this suite and by the smell coming from outside in the garden, you ladies have already been busy planting and nurturing.

This will be perfect. Get your rest. Tomorrow will be a busy day."

"I'll be staying for the training, Glenda," Grace said into the lull in the conversation. "So will Jason and Brian."

Daniel perked up at that and stared at Grace. She caught him staring and her cheeks were tinted red.

Glenda looked from Grace to Daniel and nodded. "I suspected you would.

Roger and your team can teach the fighting stuff. I'll do all the witchy stuff. Roger and I should go.

“Amber, tomorrow I will speak to you about everything that happened between your mother, your father, and Gwydion, all right? You have a right to know. I'll answer all your questions. Until then, see you all tomorrow."

Glenda and Roger rose, and everyone walked them to the door. They hugged briefly and Daniel shook Roger's hand.

“Will I see you tomorrow as well, Roger?" asked Daniel.

“I go where Glenda goes."

“Um, if you don't mind me asking, what class are you?"
