LUCIEN- “Vincent Strahan, the owner of this home, is my partner. We are to be married soon. He too comes from a long line of witches and found a elixir that Bella Goth perfected many years ago. As you know I am the realm master, and the heir is not quite ready to take on the the responsibilities. He is here, training for just that. So we thought it important that I stay around a little longer until He is ready to take over. To be honest, I was in ill health.”
ARON- “Oh, dear, yes I have heard of that elixir. But I completely understand the reasoning behind using it. The realm must be ready at all times, and if the young Boedell heir isn’t ready it is good he is here with you.”
LUCIEN- “You know that you were one of the candidates for the Master, however London is going to need you and your expertise. Such a young coven, they need a stron master.”
ARON- “Yes, I wouldn’t want to take on the the entire realm, unless of course it was required, but the young Boedell is quite capable I am sure once he is properly trained in all his gifts. So what family does your partner, come from?”
LUCIEN- “The Strahan family, they are from Austria.”
ARON- “Ah, I see, I don’t think I have ever heard of the family.”
LUCIEN- “No they recently were admitted to the realm, as prior to Vincent there really wasn’t many that were using their gifts, and those that were, were practicing dark magics. Luckily Vincent understand the power of the dark magics and has outlawed them.”
ARON- “So he is the coven master of this new coven in Austria?”
LUCIEN- “Temporarily, yes.”
ARON- “But he is living here in Forgotten Hallow, in the Straud mansion of all places. This place and it’s family are sworn enemies of the realm and even worse enemies with the Goth’s, for centuries.”
LUCIEN- “Yes, but he is not a Straud. he is a Strahan. And as far as anyone knows, the Strauds are no longer.”
ARON- So, if there are no longer and Straud family, how was he able to acquire this home..?”
Vincent has walked into the room, and neither Lucien or Aron had realized he had been standing there...
VINCENT- “The transaction was all quite easily arranged actually...”
