Chapter 20 Part 1 Rajaf answered the door to find Kol standing there. “My king.” He smiled. “Please, come in. Kessa and I are eating. Will you join us?” “Forgive me. I wasn’t thinking about the time.” “No harm.” The old man smiled. When Kol entered the small kitchen, Kessa retrieved a bowl for him.Continue reading “Once there was Darkness”
