Eagle
1605 Words
After Felicity had ended her session that she had initiated with her colleague and also a passerby (Samuel, who else), she sat down while sipping her tea calmly.
"Let me introduce to you, Your Majesty, Selena, who would be assisting me throughout the séances as well as other rituals such as what we had done earlier."
"This is the first time, an outsider had been involved since the outsider was only considered as a passerby and had no relations to this session earlier."
"It was supposed to tell you about your past, but in the end, it ended up in such a manner which was beyond my expectations. Besides, I do hope you are not frightened off by the scenes and would find a way to get in touch with the 2 beings they wish to continue to communicate with you, Your Majesty."
"As what they had said earlier, there might be a person who would be able to assist you in attaining meditation and at the same time, unlock yourself to them and also open up the realm of plane that was mentioned earlier."
Felicity slowly sipped on her tea as Samuel and Selena (who by now had combed her hair back neatly in place) were whispering to each other on what they had gone through and what they had felt so far.
I looked at Heather before I called one of the helpers to summon Eagle as I wanted to clarify certain matters with him.
About 15 minutes later, Eagle entered the domain's conference hall and he was wearing his High Priest garb since he had just completed the morning service for that day.
"Good day, Your Majesty. What could I be of service to you and what would your requests be?" Eagle greeted me in his usual manner when he first sees me in the day. Once after that, he would be falling back to his own demeanour of addressing us.
"Good day to you too, Eagle. I just want to ask you something and a few things as well. What is the thing that you carried around with you that had some smoke of incense coming from it?"
"Oh... That's a thurible, Your Majesty. Why do you ask about this?"
"I wanted to know something about this incenses, Eagle. I believe they you knew about monks from the monastery who devout themselves to prayings most of the time besides performing other kinds of work, am I right?"
'Well... Monks do sleep earlier at night. And wake up in the middle of the morning to pray and then continue to sleep again thereafter before waking up again to prepare breakfast et cetera."
"Hmm... I think I've gone a bit too far in asking about the monks. However, do you know anything about meditation? Come sit close to me, Eagle, for we would like to share with you something."
Eagle took a seat next to me and was observing Felicity, Selena and Samuel that were sitting across the conference table.
"We had just had an encounter from the other side through Felicity the Fortune Teller that acted through a séance with the help of Selena and Samuel."
"What I wished to know is your in-depth knowledge of meditation. How does one go into a state of meditation and what could be achieved from that?"
Eagle pondered for a moment before he was able to connect the thurible and the monks to what I was trying to imply.
"A state of meditation is a way for one to relax one's mind and enter a state of calmness and into another perspective, like another world on its own. Meditation could be done ay any time of the day as long as there are no disturbances from the outside."
"You do not need a thurible, Your Majesty but would need hair a censer that would be lined with some burning coals and sprinkled with some incense that we used to burn on our Mass every time."
"The incense is finely grounded frankincense made from some benzoin resin that was imported by Marcel since he knew they we would be needing them during our Mass."
"I had heard from Marcel about the incense sticks that were used to substitute the benzoin resin that was used to burn inside the coals to give it a smoky appearance thus, spreading its scent all over the Chapel. But I have not seen the incense stick before being used is I won't know how it would be like."
"During the state of meditation, one would feel peaceful and able to think clearly ahead. Furthermore, one would reach a certain realm like a passage through a corridor towards where the light normally would be. Once a person enters through the light passage, thru would reach a stage of enlightenment."
"Does that answers your question, Your Majesty?" Eagle finally concluded his sentences that he had formed through his experiences and left me wondering and pondering on what I would be asking him next.
"You see, Eagle... Remember the time when I mentioned about the dream that I had that brought me to the year 1453? Today, with Felicity's seance and also her trusted assistant Selena and out passerby Samuel, she had managed to summon the 2 beings they had been influential to my dreams."
"Do you remember the first time Samuel had mentioned that I was a Reborn and a Transmigrator? Well, these two words popped out again and had been spoken by two voices that identified themselves as Max and Ceres."
I then went on to explain to Eagle what Max and Ceres represented and slowly explained through the notes that Heather had earlier taken down. Eagle was able to understand what I was trying to convey and what he said next was comforting to the ears and mind.
"If you think that what was conveyed is true and what you seek is also the truth, then I would be able to help you attain what you need to achieve through proper meditation."
"It may be times when everyone else in the domain had fallen asleep and we might be able to use the settee upstairs to put you in a meditative state."
"Are you interested since I am interested too since this would be something new and unfathomable to me."
"I would make the preparations tonight to bring you to a good meditative state and from then you would be on your own."
"I won't know how long you would be in that state because its a journey only you could travel on your own."
"Frankly, it's not dangerous and your aim was to unlock yourself so you would be able to communicate with the 2 beings, am I right?"
Eagle gave his suggestions and was seconded by Felicity, Samuel and Selena. It seemed that the Romani Gypsies had managed to loosen themselves from the rigidity of their customs, traditions as well as understanding about other races too.
In opening themselves up, it also offers a lot of opportunities for everyone to live in great cohesiveness. Besides, if not for Felicity, this matter of meeting these 2 mysterious beings would not be exposed at all.
As lunchtime was nearing and since Heather had wanted to prepare some lunch by herself today, we concluded the meeting and then we excused ourselves to head to the grocery store and to get our own provisions.
The Romani Gypsies were able to loosen themselves form their rigid rules and regulations because the first impression that they had gotten from us was that we treated everyone the same.
Even after we had purchased the 14 dray horses from the Romani Gypsies, the care and maintenance of these 14 horses were handled by them as well. At 10 silvers per horse, the leader of the Romani Gypsies named Eastwood had distributed the total amount equal to the households.
At least the dray horses now had a better place to be accommodated and no more being exposed to the harsh weather conditions. Since its already Autumn, the horses were put up in one of the empty warehouses where proper stables were being set up.
Heather and I had just returned from the grocery store when we were about to prepare lunch over at the outdoor kitchen area when news of the Mackenzie and MacDonough had returned almost at the same time.
From the excited reports made by a guard, it seems that something had happened and needs my utmost attention.
Heather took over the preparation and cooking of our lunch along with some kitchen helpers while I went to greet and meet the 2 adventurers parties at the Adventurers Guild.

"Your Majesty, Guy MacDonough wishes to report...!" the moment I stepped inside the Adventurers Guild, I was greeted by a young lad, younger than the party leader of Mackenzie's group.
I went to one of the benches and the party of four began to salute and then bowed slightly before me, as they take the seat across me and began to relate their findings.
