She had finally realized what the problem might be and was now ready to take on Pareios as she had glimpsed a possibly possible, wonderful future. She did not intend to do without it. The only question was whether Pareios was still on the train or had jumped off again.
At the moment she wasn't particularly keen to find out. Talking to him would have meant explaining, spreading her whole shitty past like a carpet in front of him. Except that it wasn't an elegant, velvety red runner, but rather a black and gray, dirt-encrusted doormat. The thought of how he would react made her feel cold and shudder.

Almost scared to death, Aurelia winced and spun around. Her heart skipped a beat and she involuntarily held her breath. Her eyes searched the kitchen in frantic movements, sliding over empty furniture and into dark corners, but there was not a soul in the room except her. The hairs on her forearm straightened as

In the salon of the seaside manor house, eight scowling Elevenders sat around a long oval table made of cherry wood with dark inlays and burned-in ornaments. It had been in the owner's family for centuries and had seen meetings like this one. Meetings in which dark and threatening secrets were revealed and strategies of attack developed. But today's session, although so similar to the previous ones, was a different story. The conditions had changed. All team members, as well as Ezekiel, his wife Velvet and their eldest son Evrill, were more than aware of this."Well, Viktor, I have to be honest, I didn't expect what kind of luggage you had with you when I asked you into my house." Ezekiel said with his calm, deep baritone after giving him a brief update had given.

Julien arranged a meeting, the guy just wants to speak to us personally. He works with his task force in Paris. The day after tomorrow at 11 p.m. he will be waiting for us in a bar. ”Evrill had a satisfied, relaxed smile on his face that showed a row of flawless, pearly white teeth.At last a lifeline in this utter chaos, Aurelia thought as he spoke. In fact, they were in a position where they were almost incapable of acting unless they went all out. It dawned on her that now they had to put everything on one card. And whether they wanted to or not, they couldn't avoid playing a double game. The only way to get the council information was to go back to the lion's den!Viktor raised his voice. "All right! This is the only other lead we have while we are left without the Legion's he

In the end, there was no objection and no one had a better plan. They all felt lost in the chaos of events and were ready to grab any straw that promised even a glimmer of hope. Ezekiel promised to provide them with equipment and to activate further contacts in order to keep asking for the meaning of the stones or anything else useful. After he had promised them several vehicles, his son got up."So if there are only two of you, when you meet Julien's acquaintance, I will join you!" He said firmly, gazing at his parents.His mother clapped her hands over her mouth while mute horror widened her beautiful eyes. However, this immediately gave way to the assertiveness of the lion-like maternal instinct. She had even managed to get her husband, a respected councilor, out of all those wars within the Elevender Terrace, so she was definitely not going to give up on her son."You don't!" She said in a decisive tone that Aurelia hadn't thought of this small, feminine wom

Asked Aurelia as she walked through the room with the business-like carpeting.Evrill leaned casually against the massive dark desk and smiled confidently. “That shouldn't be a problem!” He propped one arm on the table, with the other he pointed to the back corner, where a lot of equipment was already stored, neatly stowed in suitable transport bags. “By the way, I've already researched the address that Julien gave from the café. It wasn't hard to find, it's a pretty famous dance bar. ”He grinned very satisfied now and she saw through the laboriously calm surface of his demeanor, under which the awakened ardor and pride about his skills peeked out.Pareios seemed delighted. "Wonderful! Who would have thought what you are made of, Ev! ""It's okay, my mother

Do you think the Legion has something to do with it?" Row threw around.Viktor shrugged his shoulders rather helplessly. "If it had been us ... why and for what?"The feeling that there was more to this message than could be seen at first glance, Aurelia just couldn't let go. "Whoever it was must have been technologically well-equipped, things like that are state-of-the-art, you can't just get them down like that!" And he had to have been quick! "Just put it in our collection of mysterious incidents, maybe we'll find more answers in the next few days." She grumbled unsatisfied and then sat down at the table at which Velvet was preparing dinner.She interrupted the thoughtful conversation of her guests by asking everyone to sit down at the table."So sit down, stop all this bad news, now it's time to eat.""Yes, M'am!"

Aurelia:The Huntress Miraculously
Her arms passed over a soft sheet while she was still half asleep. She felt the folds of the velvet blanket, but her fingers searched in vain for the warmth of a body that had lain next to her for the night and brought her that incomparably deep sleep. She opened her eyes and looked around.The room was empty, but something was stirring behind the door. Footsteps approached and she heard Pareio's voice saying to someone: "We're coming!"Then the large, white-painted door opened and the object of her longing pushed into the room. His movements were timid and he had fixed his eyes on the full cup in his right hand. He balanced it carefully so as not to spill a drop. When he arrived at the bed, he put the elegantly curved coffee pot down on the bedside table and then turned to her for the first time.“Tomorrow, Sleeping Beauty! Time to get up! ”He sat on the edge of the bed and put a hand on her back as she rolled over to face him.He smelled of
Aurelia:The Huntress Unexpected alliance
“My mother didn't want me to be in direct line of fire, but she didn't forbid me from doing business. I started an investment firm a few years ago. And as it is in financial circles, the worst gangsters are the ones who walk around in suits and ties. From a certain amount of money, the hegeduns come into play, that's the way it is. And word of success gets around! Could of course have something to do with my grandiose appearance! ”He joked and smiled in amusement.“In any case, it's customary in these circles to do business with pouring parties, hookers, coke, all just toys for these people. There are a lot of sick pigs and sadists among them.When the Hegedun bankers were partying there was sometimes ... let's say 'collateral damage'! At a party like that, to which I was also invited, someone lost his head and stabbed an unruly prostitute with a butter knife. That was my first encounter with federal authorities.
