Teaser
Paige orbed in the hallway to pick up her coat, just as Phoebe stepped in, "you look glittering, Paige! Where are you going, all dressed up, or I'm correcting my mistake, down like that?"
"I am going to an engagement party tonight. Remember the errand boy at my old work, the one I told you I used my first spell on?"
"Oh, he's getting married? And you still keep in touch with people from your social work office?"
"Well, not for long," Piper interrupted, coming down the stairs, "I'm sorry Paige but you can't go. Leo's bringing another retiring elder down so he can pass on his powers and we have to protect him till he does."
"I'll orb back when you need me, just let me at least give the presents over? I kinda feel like I was involved with the creation of this person who Billy is now."
Piper shrugged, "apparently the demons should be aware of this exchange since it is a pretty unusual one. I don't know much more, only that even though this retiring Elder has active powers, they are sending him to us as he will be under constant attack from the Underworld. And he is meant to arrive about now."
"I'll just orb over and back, all right? I'll be here before that much despicable Elder creature arrives."
"The feeling is mutual," a tall, curly haired mans said, who just orbed in with Leo. He was a bit too muscular for an Elder, but had a beer belly, "I can assure you of that."
"This is the Elder I was to bring," Leo frowned, "let me introduce Benjamin Turner."
