Seon Call

'My lady,' Ashe said, interrupting her contemplations. 'Yes, Ashe?' 'Your father is desperate to talk to you. I think you have some news he deserves to hear.' Sarene nodded, holding in a sigh. and Ashe began to pulse brightly. A moment later the ball of light that formed his essence melted into a bustlike glowing head. King Eventeo of Teod. ' 'Ene?' her father asked, the glowing head's lips moving. He was a robust man. with a large oval face and a thick chin. 'Yes, Father. I'm here.' Her father would be standing beside a similar Seon-probably Dio-who would have changed to resemble a glowing approximation of Sarene's head. 'Are you nervous for the wedding?' Eventeo asked anxiously. 'Well, about that wedding ...' she said slowly. 'You'll probably want to cancel your plans to come next week. There won't be much for you to see.'
