EMERIEL

Two days later, Emeriel followed the directions provided by the lord from the High Court. When he arrived at the gate, he introduced himself and the gates opened for him

The household worker who led him towards the front porch was surprisingly friendly and talkative.

By the time the human male left Emeriel at the door, Emeriel knew the name of the high lord who had summoned him- Lord Herod. The noble lord of agriculture was widowed and over two thousand years. Emeriel stood hesitantly against the door, his hand raised and suspended in the air. You can turn and head back to the fortress, Emeriel. Pretend you had not made this trip.
