He turned around. His eyes were very unreadable and very dark. He looked at my hands as I summoning an orb of light. His eyes wide with astonishment and then they closed. He had fainted right in the middle of the circle.
“Someone get him some water.” I said almost panicking
Johnathan came with a bucket of water and he splashed some on Joshua’s face. When he came to, Johnathan gave him some water to drink.
When he was back to normal I said “you must keep what you saw an absolute secret.”
“All right,” he said “just no more lies all right?”
“All right.” I said
He went to go back to his house and I told him that I would be there as soon as the meeting was over.
“Back to why we are here.” I said
“Oh, right.” Johnathan said “we have great reason to believe that the Prince and Princess are in danger.”
