Chapter 5- Summons
Eating breakfast with Aeron in our new quarters has become my favourite part of the day. Lunches are always hasty and usually eaten with the war council. Dinners are always official ordeals, full of rich gowns and expensive velvet and silk tunics. But breakfast is ours. We eat fruit and pastries and talk in a light-hearted fashion that feels impossible once the trials of the day have started.
We sit at the breakfast table in the living room. The padded benches and low table are behind us as our chairs are angled slightly towards the balcony, so that we may look out over the gardens. The balcony doors are open as the day is already warm and promises to be scorching.
"You're wrong, Annie!" Aeron laughs, eating a slice of peach. "Eleanora looks far more like a rabbit than a horse!"
"No! Surely you can see that those teeth don't belong on anything so small!" I reply, taking a sip of my orange juice.
My pale hair is still not bound up for the day and is hanging in loose curls down my back. I'm wearing only my white underskirts and bodice- my makeup already applied- as the unseasonal hot weather has continued. Aeron is wearing only his loose cotton tunic with the cream leggings he likes to wear on warm days. I haven't the heart to tell him that they look silly when he isn't wearing his boots. At least no one else will- he's my husband to tell.
My Husband. I can't believe the change in my attitude towards him and that word and how quickly it has come about. I look at our lives now and, disregarding our impending doom, they don't look too bad. I am glad than my final weeks will be the happiest of my life.
"Oh but you forget the nose!" Aeron's smile is full of teasing. "Combined with the nose, her face is definitely that of a rabbit."
"No, no. Her nose is far too long to resemble a rabbit's," I shake my head, still laughing.
His eyes are creased with mirth as he holds up his hands in mock surrender. I smile warmly in return and stand to begin twisting my hair in front of the mirror into its usual style.
"I prefer it down, you know," Aeron comments from the other side of our sitting room. We insisted on rooms that joined a communal sitting room and balcony as opposed to living in separate wings of the palace as some ruling couples did. I know that Lord Ethyrir of the West-Lands and his wife sleep in separate buildings, even. It's supposedly for security but everyone knows that they can't stand each other. We both agreed that avoiding such a reputation would be beneficial for the both of us.
"Why? It just gets in the way," I call back to him as I walk into my room to collect my hair pins and comb. There's a long pause before he answers.
"It smells nice – a mixture of lavender and you," his reply comes quietly from the room behind me but it makes me smile broadly to myself.
I don't reply but he sees my smile as I re-enter the sitting area, already pushing pins into my hair. I wait until I'm in front of the mirror again before I slide the silver comb in to decorate and secure it all. I'm looking at it from several angles to check its position when Aeron comes up behind me. He wraps his arms around my waist and presses his face into my hair.
"I can still smell it but I'll have to get right up close," he says, his voice is loud beside my ear, despite his lowered tone and his voice being muffled by my hair. My heart stutters but I turn, look at him with playful disapproval and go to collect my dress from my room. I've thought of getting a mirror installed in there but then I thought why would I do that?
Aeron helps me into my dress- a fact that causes no end of both amusement and bemusement among my dresser, Helenia, and my other ladies- and I secure his neck tie. He still can't do it for himself. We're checking our clothes and hair over for the last time when we hear the usual knock at the door.
"Come in," I call lightly after we've both moved away from the mirror and have picked something up to busy ourselves with. It wouldn't do for the guide and her husband to appear anything but effortlessly perfect. The door opens and a boy I don't recognise of about thirteen is standing just outside, clutching an envelope as though his life depends on it.
"Lady Annalisa, Leader of the Powerful Aeron," he greets us, his voice wavering slightly as he inclines his head. "I have a message from Advisor Barnelle for Lady Annalisa." He steps forward and presents the envelope.
"Thank you, Eritai," I reply, reading the name sewn onto his lapel. I take the heavy envelope from him and smile reassuringly at him as he inclines his head once more and retreats out of the door, closing it behind him.
"I wonder what gruelling schedule Barnelle wants to suggest for today," I muse, running my hands over the expensive paper of the envelope as I walk to collect my silver letter knife.
"No, the real question is how Eleanora will get the suggestion refused this time," Aeron replies, smiling as he collect the notes he made during yesterday's assembly.
I give a short laugh and open the letter with a crack. As I unfold it, I am surprised to find how few words are on the page. This note holds no suggestions, only a demand.
Lady Annalisa,
Please meet us in the Watchers' Halls at your earliest convenience. It would do us all a great deal of good if you could make it sooner rather than later,
Advisor Barnelle
I hand the paper to Aeron to read as I collect my own notes and my fan while sliding my feet into a pair of shoes without heels in case Aeron and I go for our usual walk.
"Is he allowed to speak to you in such a manner?" Aeron asks, his brows drawn together but raised slightly in a mixture of outrage and puzzlement.
"It would be frowned upon but Arnaud is not a rude man. I can only presume that something we didn't expect has cropped up," I shrug it off. I must admit to being stung slightly by Arnaud's terse note but I have gotten to know him well enough to know he probably wanted to ensure my swift arrival without giving away details.
"I wonder what it could be to cause him to forget his manners so completely," Aeron wonders aloud. I smile at him being more insulted than I am, lean up to kiss his brow and then we sweep from the room, nodding to my guards as we pass.
"What is it, Arnaud?" I call, still storming down the walkway into the main chamber Watchers' Halls. My voice bounces around the grey stone walls and my displeasure is evident from my tone. I may believe he has a good reason, but it wouldn't do for him to become comfortable with using such a tone with me.
"Lady Annalisa, I apologise for resorting to such brusque words when requesting your presence. I wouldn't have done it had I not been most...unsettled by a sudden turn of events," Arnaud is immediately apologetic. I let my face soften slightly as I approach him. However, my brow soon furrows in a gesture so Aeron-like that I would have laughed had his words not have worried me.
"Lady Annalisa..."he starts before his voice trails off and he looks around nervously, not meeting my eye. "People keep dying in the streets."
"The work of a murderer?" I ask, not relaxing in the slightest. There has to be a catch here. He wouldn't have resorted to such rudeness had this not been especially concerning.
"In the conventional sense – no," he says, his face grave as he shakes his head gently. "These people are being killed through magic, Lady Annalisa, in broad daylight. They just drop down without any obvious cause."
"What kind of magic are we talking about?" I ask gently, my gaze flickering to Aeron as this is his area of expertise. He looks grim.
"That's the problem. They have no physical marks on their bodies and no clear cause of death. There's an indescribable feel of...nothingness that surrounds them, though. Once you've felt it, you can't deny that it's magic," Arnaud's expression is grim. I'm waiting for him to say the words that are obviously burning his lungs to escape.
"Is there anything else you'd like to add, Arnaud?" I ask, prompting him gently
"Lady Annalisa...this is my own speculation but I've seen some of the victims and I have to say...they don't appear dead," his voice is quiet.
My mind instantly jumps to the dead man in my room and the sickening sound of his head dragging across the floor. Bile rises in my throat.
"How do they appear, then?" I ask, my voice so quiet that my fear of his reply is evident.
"Well...it's as though they were never alive." As chilling as this news is, I relax. Not the creeping dead, then. If I have one, tiny selfish wish, aside from my country and people's safety, it's that I never have to see a corpse under a compulsion spell again. "The bodies don't stiffen or decompose and there's no sense that whatever is left was ever a person."
"Oh..." I say impossibly quietly before letting my voice trail of completely. One glance at Aeron tells me that he's as clueless as I am.

What is the definition of a vacation? Well, there are those living in the snow who believe their vacation should come along with the warmest beach and a few fancy drinks with little umbrellas in them so they can relax before heading back to the deep-freeze. There are also those who sit at desks all day and dream of a vacation that allows them to hike those trails in the Great Outdoors. There are even more who have the kids literally screaming in their ear who simply want a vacation from their vacation.
Travel: Leaving the Commonplace Behind
Making Money Online
Yes…there are books, audiotapes, videos on YouTube, seminars, webinars and every other 'nar' you can possibly think of that offer up information on how YOU can be a millionaire using nothing but your own home computer. Of course, if wealth were that easy, no one would be clogging the highways on Monday morning. They would be home in their robe enjoying the day and counting their oodles and oodles of cash. Not to mention, you would think if wealth online was a plan that worked there would be far more doing just that, considering literally everyone is spending at least three hours on their computers each and every day for personal time and are staring at their cell phone screens 24/7.
Finding a Hobby that Fits Your Personality
Although there are many out there who turn to their computers or cell phones as their hobby, there are just as many others who want to be more creative. They want to learn something new and fun to do in their spare time. They're not looking for cash, they're looking for a way to relax and 'get away' from the daily grind. Of course, when it comes to choosing the right hobby, personality is everything.
There are millions of spots to visit and sites to see around the world when it comes to vacation time; however, there are also those you can't necessarily "see." In this world of digital technology and highly imaginative architecture that creates buildings that are higher and more "glitzy" than ever before, it is important to remember that in ancient times, people were building "down." Various civilizations created locations underground, while others actually got buried by Mother Nature and simply forgotten about. Let's begin internationally…
A Child's Best Pooch!
"Sin City" Becomes Acceptable?
So…what changes will occur if an NFL team hits Las Vegas? Not many, actually. Perhaps more of the 'contract money' will be lost considering the blackjack tables ARE right in the vicinity; however, NFL owners seem just fine with the fact that the Raiders will once again wave good-bye to their "Nation" and relocate to Sin City.
Buying & Selling: Learning the Art of the Tag Sale
When people speak about making a few extra bucks, there is more than one way to skin a cat these days. Perhaps you're trying to save up for a vacation for the family to take this summer. Perhaps you are looking for collectibles to invest in. Oddly enough, many people do not realize what, exactly, was in Great Grandma's house when she passed on to a happier place. There are even those who will put her things on a table, mark them twenty-five cents, and declare them to be old knickknacks (AKA: things you need to dust every five seconds.) Trouble is, a lot of those knickknacks can actually be worth hundreds or even thousands of dollars. Heck, there have even been things found at tag sales that have been resold in the millions. No. Not kidding. Are the chances immense that you'll find such a buy? No. But, there have been those that have proven this particular once-in-a-lifetime-event can happen.
All Hail the Easter Bunny!
From Country Living to Home and Garden to your very own traditions that began when your Grandmother was just a baby, there are things you can do for Easter that your friends, family and especially the children will never forget. You can even start new traditions that your own beautiful grandchild can carry on with their own kids one day.
Auto Sales Have Not Soared As First Predicted
When 2017 first began, it was stated by financial and industry "experts" that the auto realm would continue to have yet another amazing year. 2016 was a thrill ride when it came to auto sales, yet now that sales figures have been released, there are many people surprised that figures are far less than first expected. The only one fact that has remained is that everyone – from sea to shining sea – still seems to love cars. They all want the 'best of the best' sitting in their own driveways, even if they have no shot at actually paying for them.
It's Time to Play Ball!
As far back as you can remember, Major League Baseball's Opening Day comes with pomp, pageantry, good food, excitement, and a whole lot of fun for the family. Cincinnati, home to the very first professional baseball team, will once again hold the annual Findlay Market Parade, making it official to the whole world that baseball has returned. In Cincinnati it is a holiday for one and all, where citizens stop everything to go out and cheer loud and proud for the hometown Reds.

Though the present Administration doesn't see things this way. This thought was from an editorial posted by the Religion News Service written by Archbishop Joseph Kurtz, President of the USCCB.
The title? [Read more…]
And unfortunately, we aren't bringing to bear the in-depth philosophical arguments needed to carry the day. Baylor University's Francis Beckwith explains it all in his latest post at The Catholic Thing. Here's a snip. [Read more…]
Back in the beginning, all of the titles for posts answered the statement of the blog title, "Why I Am Catholic." And so it is again for this post, because our time here on earth is like the stories of old, only with a different cast of characters. And these days, dear reader, you are no longer a spectator as when you were a child, but you are a participant, willingly or no. [Read more…]
Regarding the HHS Mandate, Rachel Zoll reports from Baltimore,
A top American bishop said Tuesday the Roman Catholic church will not comply with the Obama administration requirement that most employers provide health insurance covering birth control.
New York Cardinal Timothy Dolan, president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, said church leaders are open to working toward a resolution with federal officials, but will meanwhile press ahead with challenges to the mandate in legislatures and in court.
"The only thing we're certainly not prepared to do is give in. We're not violating our consciences," Dolan told reporters at a national bishops' meeting. "I would say no door is closed except for the door to capitulation." [Read more…]
It's dangerous business being a Catholic. Dangerous, that is, if your idea of being thought well of is to be looked upon with favor by such worldly paragons as the New York Times, the Washington Post, and the San Francisco Chronicle. If by becoming a Catholic you hope to curry favor with the world, here is a little news flash: that ain't a gonna happen. It never has, and never will.
Several of the Patheos Catholic Portal bloggers (Elizabeth Scalia, and Deacon Greg Kandra) are in Indianapolis for the Catholic Media Conference. Last night, Archbishop Charles Chaput, my favorite Franciscan, gave an important speech at the conference to set the stage for the kickoff of today's Fortnight for Freedom call to prayer.
I'll share a bit of the speech with you below. For the sake of brevity, and for the ease of memorization, I've summarized his five main points here. [Read more…]
So you've read Cardinal Dolan's letter to the Bishops, and you support the Church's stance on the HHS Mandate. You agree that it must be rescinded.
You also understand that the purpose of buying insurance is to protect yourself, and your family, from catastrophic loss that you otherwise could not afford to endure. Must I break out the Merriam-Webster dictionary? [Read more…]

Gun ban at Tulsa apartment complex causes controversy
by: Lynn Casey Updated:
TULSA, Okla. - FOX23 has been working to get some definitive answers about when you can and can't have a gun on private property and when that private property is an apartment that becomes your home when you sign a lease. The simplest answer to that question can be found right in the Oklahoma Self Defense Act.
"It's your constitutional right to be able to have a firearm, per the United States and Oklahoma," said Oklahoma Open Carry Association Vice President Gary Stiner.
A resident of the Edenwood Apartments in Tulsa told FOX23 the property wouldn't allow guns inside the apartments.
"They said it was their policy that she could tell them what to do and what not to do," said Stiner.
The Oklahoma Self Defense Act allows tenants of privately owned properties to keep a weapon inside their home if they can legally own one. So the Oklahoma Open Carry Association called the apartment manager to request a meeting to talk about the policy.
"She'd actually told him that her cousin has guns and that he would shoot us in the face," Stiner said.
FOX23 contacted the complex but no one responded. When approached in person our crew was escorted off the property by security.
A sign has since been placed in the window of the complex office that reads, "NO GUNS."
"The apartment complex does have the right to ask you not to openly carry on common grounds," Stiner said.
But a legal carrier can keep the gun in their car in the parking lot or inside their apartment. Security guards and property managers simply aren't able to make up different rules on different days. That is what this tenant and their licensed carrying visitors said they've experienced.
"Yes they can, no they can't, they can have it in the car, they can't have it in the car, no they can't have it in the car. They basically do not know what the laws are," Stiner said.
FOX23 has continued attempts to speak with management and received no response.

This year's Goodwood Festival of Speed should be the loudest one yet: top-fuel dragsters will sit on the estate's cricket pitch on each day of the event, which takes place from July 11-13.
The cricket pitch is the world's oldest, but that hasn't stopped the Earl of March turning it into a drag strip, just as he recreated the Bonneville Salt Flats there last year.
Although the cars won't move, they will fire up their engines once a day and go through the engine-warming procedure, known as a "cackle fest". Motoring can advise readers that ear-plugs would be a bonus.
Six current Formula One teams will be attending, and Lewis Hamilton is confirmed, as long as he gets the traffic-light sequence correct en route. There will also be the most comprehensive tribute yet to Colin McRae.
On the luxury side, the annual Cartier style et luxe display includes a James Bond 007 car class.
Entry to the Festival of Speed is by advance ticket only. To buy, phone 01243 755055 or book online at www.goodwood.co.uk.

Astros rack up 13 hits in 8-3 win over Arizona
Collin McHugh struck out eight in his first career complete game, Jason Castro had three RBIs and the Houston Astros continued their recent surge with an 8-3 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Monday.

Castro hit a two-run double off Escobar in the third inning and Houston had 13 hits overall to win for the sixth time in seven games. Astros leadoff hitter George Springer added three hits, two runs and an RBI.
McHugh (5-4) gave up a solo homer to Paul Goldschmidt in the first inning, but retired 21 of the next 22 batters in the five-hitter.

10 @#$%& Things I Keep @#$%& Trying to Learn About @#$%& Writing
1. Keep writing.
2. Don't stop writing.
3. See # 1 and 2 above.
4. Do not stop to edit. Editing is a separate undertaking. Stop worrying. In other words, see # 1, 2, and 3 above.
5. Learn the rules. I'm talking spelling, punctuation, and grammar here. If you don't know the rules, you can't break them intelligently when the story calls for it. There's a big difference between breaking the rules for a reason and breaking the rules because you've been too @#$%& lazy to learn them.
6. Don't let anyone tell you what to write or not write about. It's your writing.
7. Let the humor come naturally. Don't force it. If you force it, it will be lame. There is no way around this.
8. Let the muse speak through you. You are a vessel for the creative forces of the universe. Don't edit the @#$%& muse. In other words, see # 1, 2, 3, and 4 above.
9. Contrary to what others have said here, there is nothing wrong with fan fiction. It can be done well. It isn't often done well, but it can be done well. And playing in someone else's sandbox can be a lot of fun. Go ahead. Prove 'em wrong. Write a really good fanfic. Just deal with the fact that you can never publish it for money.
10. Don't be verbose. Don't use more words when less will do. I mean it. Seriously. For reals.
Bonus: 11. Have fun, for cryin' out loud!

If I could go back and change one thing about this speech it would be to place greater emphasis on the idea of privilege and the need to use that privilege to enact change. Enact it for all those who do not have the opportunity to lobby for change on their own due to fear of repercussions from their family, their jobs, etc etc. My overarching goal here is not to campaign for the legalization of recreational marijuana in California this November (though I do have my fingers crossed that will be the case) but to argue that there are many groups being disproportionately penalized for engaging in activities that white/privileged individuals cavalierly participate in on the daily.
According to the Federal Bureau of Prisons over 50% of inmates in federal prisons are there for drug offenses, and Kathleen Miles at The Huffington Post broke down that between October 2012 and September 2013, 27.6 percent of drug offenders were locked up for crimes related to marijuana. Some of those locked up for marijuana-related offenses deserve to be there, the crimes they committed were part of a larger threat to others around them. Many, I would argue most, were participating in an act no worse than anything I've done – possessing marijuana. Except I'm white, and I had $60 in cash to pay for 5 minutes with a weed doctor in exchange for a "medical marijuana card" and I can afford to choose an employment position that doesn't do drug testing.
The Economist is right, legalize and regulate it already. A key step to making that happen? Normalization. All those privileged individuals (like me) need to take a page out of Chelsea's book and talk about it like the everyday thing it is for them. Many people I know will talk about it one-on-one, but wouldn't dare mention it on Facebook (though they'll talk about booze all the live long day whenever opportunity strikes). Normalization gets us one step closer to getting high on vacation (no matter what state we visit), and, on a more serious note, changes the futures of many who live in spaces and places and realities where the sort of fun I indulge in on the regular can ruin a life.
Agree? Disagree? The space for comments is the Living Absolutely Facebook page.

Banking securely online ... what
you can do
At KBC, we place great importance in how we make online banking with us as secure possible. But you have an important part to play as well.
Keep hackers out by taking some key security precautions:
- Install software updates as soon as they're available.
- Make sure your wireless (Wi-Fi) network is secure.
- Do not install any illegal or unknown software.
- Lock your computer when you're not using it so no one can gain easy access to your personal details and apps.
- Install Trusteer Rapport free of charge to add an extra layer of protection to your browser when you use KBC-Online for Business. Learn more.

Keep hackers out by taking some key security precautions:
- Lock your smartphone and tablet so no one can gain easy access to your personal details and apps. Install only apps from the official Apple, Google or Windows app stores.
- Do not use mobile devices that have been jailbroken or rooted as this eliminates many of the built-in security features of the mobile operating system.
- Use only the latest versions of our mobile apps and your device's operating system.

- Scam e-mails often claim that there is a security problem with your bank card or bank account,
- and you have to take urgent action.
- They may tell you that you can fix the problem by opening an attachment or clicking a link, which takes you to a fake website where you have to enter personal details (like your bank card number or the codes generated by your card reader).
- Check the website address in your browser's address bar to make sure you're on a secure website like ours that starts with https:// ('s' stands for 'secure'). In newer browsers, all or part of the address bar will also turn green.
- Tip: save our secure 'KBC.be' website address as a favourite in your browser or enter the address manually.
You can rest easy. Staying alert and installing extra security software will reduce the likelihood that you yourself will fall victim to fraud to 73 in a billion.
The answer is simple: both are equally secure.
Our apps have several added security features that are easy to use and help keep you safe and secure while banking with us online or on the go.
- We require you to initially register your smartphone or tablet with us (just once) so that only you can use it to bank with us.
- You also have to set a personal PIN, which generates a unique digital signature each time you enter it.
- After three incorrect attempts to enter your PIN, our apps lock you out.
- They also log you out automatically if you haven't been using them for a few minutes.
- All of your details are encrypted.
- If we notice what might be a suspect transaction from your account, we'll call you right away. Our apps have built-in antivirus software that constantly checks your device for viruses targeted at banks.
You, too, have a crucial part to play in ensuring that you bank securely with us using our mobile apps, including the need to:
- Keep your PIN secret
- Download only official KBC apps available from the Google Play, Apple and Windows Phone app stores
- Install updates when they are available
- Keep your five-digit PIN secret and never write it down anywhere or disclose it to anyone
- Avoid obvious or easy-to-guess PINs like your date of birth or sequences of digits in ascending order, such as 12345.
- Do not use a PIN that you already use elsewhere.
- Make sure no one is looking over your shoulder when you're entering your PIN.
- Keep the codes you generate with your card reader secret (just like the PIN for your bank card) as they're the key to your accounts and unlocking your money. We will never ask you for them by e-mail, text message or phone.
Read messages and instructions on your card reader's screen
carefully to verify the legitimacy of transactions.
Beware of scams like one asking you to connect your accounts to a new security system while your card reader is showing that you're actually transferring a substantial sum of money.
- Watch out if the log-in and payment-approval procedures suddenly change from what you're used to. Go no further if, for instance, you're asked to log in again or give additional verification that you don't recognise.
obvious or
easy-to-guess PINs (like your date of birth or post code)
and never share your PIN with anyone.
Enter your PIN discreetly, out of sight of prying eyes.
- Read messages and instructions appearing on your smartphone carefully to verify the legitimacy of what you're being asked to do while banking online.
- Watch out if the log-in and payment-approval procedures suddenly change from what you're used to. Go no further if, for instance, you're asked to use your smartphone and Sign app to scan a QR code.
