The Moon will Shine Again

The night seemed to ramble on and on. It was made worse because none of her Death Dealers could tell her where Selene was now. She should have been there, leading the Alpha team against those...things. Instead Amelia and the others came home, bloodied but alive, to hear a very unpleasant story. "This vexes me. You do not care to see me vexed, do you my child?" The knight shook his head curtly as his eyes reminded forward, glued to the wall so that he would not have to see her disappointment. "I suggest that you walk out of this door and look for her again. After all, Matayas, it is not like she is set of car keys that you just misplaced, now is she?" She has been unfair to him. Cruel even. But it was not entirely undeserved. After all, she did assign him to follow Selene and make certain that she was alright. He failed her. Miserably. For all of Amelia's indirect but scathing words, no one punished himself more than he, especially considering that Selene was not just another Death Dealer to him. Is that not right?
