Caleb found her looking at him with pride and hunger and… he couldn't wait to get to her. He stared at her for a moment and their eyes locked, each trying to convey something. Once he had his fill of her beauty, he averted his glance away from her and focused on the people filled in the hall. Each one of the Ixoviyans present in the room came one by one, offered their gifts to him and returned back to their seats.
"Congratulations Brother," said Ileus and instead of giving him a gift, stepped up the throne and hugged him. Caleb hugged him back tightly. He had heard from Daryn how Ileus had helped them to defeat Sedora.
"Thanks Ileus," Caleb acknowledged with a smile.
"We need to talk as soon as you as the ceremony is finished," he whispered in his ear.
"Sure," assured Caleb.
