Choosing her words wisely, Les told them she had seen a dragon and a wizard, and roughly what had gone on until the end of it. When she finished they all sat silently. The tall woman had the hint of a knowing smile on her face. Grant looked positively beside himself. The angled faced man snorted. Then the eldest seer jumped up onto her seat pointing a finger at Les' face.

"She doesn't believe!" She proclaimed.

"Berta!" The other two gasped beside her.

"I can see it. It's written on her face, you don't need powers to see what's right in front of you." Les wasn't sure if that last part was directed at her, or a comment about how she looked like she didn't believe. The old seer was right. Les did not believe. She had only ever known a peaceful existence, and couldn't grasp the notion of a great evil plaguing her land. She had never seen an army come against a people in real life. The first discourse between wizards she had even heard about was when Gunther told her of Tatyanna and Bromney. That too, was just a story to her.
