It was a three years after the battle at Zzyzx since then Warren and Vanessa had gotten together and were engaged, Kendra and Bracken were engaged, Kendra was pregnant and there was a date set to change her into an Eternal, even Tanu had a girlfriend. Poor Seth was all by himself, but it was kind of hard to find someone who would take this whole world in stride and be able to adapt to it. So his best shot would be to find someone who was already in this world, and that is exactly the plan Seth had in mind. Tonight was a Knights of the Dawn meeting and Seth was hoping to meet someone new.
It would only be the third meeting with all knights attending since the opening of Zzyzx. Since nothing to bad had happened since then the only meetings they had all together were annual meetings. Seth was now sixteen and figured he should start out on the dating scene, his sister had been with someone since she was fifteen so why not.
"Seth come down to my office I want to speak with you." His Grandpa Sorenson called up the stairs.
"Okay I'll be right there," Seth jumped of his bed and went to the door, wondering why his grandpa needed to talk to him. Oh no, Seth thought What if he found out about me going to the tar pit with Newel and Doren without his permission. Seth entered his grandpa's study and sat down in one of the large chairs facing the desk where his grandpa sat.
"What's the problem Grandpa?" Seth asked trying to play it cool.
"Well," His grandpa scratched his head trying to think of what to say. "Tonight at the meeting you will meet with Trask beforehand and be assigned a mission."
"What that's awesome," Seth was so pumped he was going to get to go on a mission, one he was actually supposed to this time. "Do you know what I'm going to be doing?"
"No, Trask couldn't get that specific over the phone, but you are allowed to tell us when you get home."
"Okay, wait what if Mom and Dad won't let me go? What if they think it is too dangerous for me to go?"
"I have already talked to your parents about it and they think you are old enough and responsible enough to go on whatever it is."
"Okay, this is so cool!" Seth said getting up, "Wait that's all you had to talk to me about, right?"
"What else would there be Seth?" His grandpa asked expectantly.
"Nothing that I know of, that's why I was asking."
"Well there is nothing else Seth, you may go and prepare yourself for this evening."
Seth hurried upstairs and into Kendra's room to tell her that he was being called on a mission that night at the meeting, he was so excited but the sight that met him when he opened the door just about made him gag.
Kendra and Bracken were sitting on her bed making out, Kendra was straddling his lap and Bracken was holding her as close as humanly possible.
"Ew, you guys. Get a room." Seth said making gagging noises and going to sit on a chair.
"We had a room, and it was private until you came traipsing in here," Kendra said annoyed at her younger brother but still getting off Bracken's lap, Bracken gave her a quick kiss and then Kendra looked appeased. "What was so important that you ran in here anyways?"
"First of all lock the door if you don't want anyone coming in, and second I am getting called on a mission tonight."
"What? No way," Bracken said disbelievingly.
"Yeah I just got finished talking to my grandpa about it, he didn't know what I was going to do while on it but evidently Trask called and told him."
"There is no way that you are getting called on a mission before I have!" Bracken said his voice laced with jealousy. Kendra laughed out loud, of course Bracken wasn't worried about Seth her fiancée was only jealous that Seth was getting called on a mission before him.
"Hey remember, they called you on the mission to help me fulfill my deed for the Singing Sisters."
"Yea, but that's different. I had already promised to help you anyways."
"Oh shut up. I'll leave so you can go back to making out with my sister and forget about your jealousy." With that Seth headed towards his own bedroom to get ready for the meeting that night.
